The communication between penDirector and PlanetPress Production is either through a folder transfer or HTTPPost com-
munication.
To configure this communication:
1. Open penDirector setup by right-clicking on its icon in the Windows System Tray, and selecting penDispatcher.
2. Double-click on the PlanetPress Capture entry.
3. Change the PGCStorage folder or PGCPOST URLsettings to your liking.
4. Click OK, then OKagain.
The PGCPOSTURLshould correspond to your server name or IP, Port and the HTTPAction task of your HTTPInput, if that is
what you are using.
Example:http://127.0.0.1:8080/ProcessPGC
Bluetooth Connectivity
The Anoto penDirector program can also connect directly to the pen via wireless Bluetooth and receive PGCfiles directly
through the Bluetooth link, without needing to dock the pen.
To pair penDirector with an Anoto Digital Pen:
1. Make sure that a Bluetooth dongle is present and enabled on the computer where penDirector is installed.
2. Note down the PINof the Anoto Digital Pen, by docking the pen and going in the Pen settings tab of penDirector and
looking at the Pen access group at the bottom of the dialog. The default PINis 0000.
3. Undock the pen, or remove its protective cap if it is not docked. Make sure the power light on the pen is turned on and
green in colour.
4. Go in the Bluetooth tab of penDirector and click on Add Pen.
5. Click on Search while the cap is off on the pen.
6. When the pen is found, click on it and then click Add.
7. When asked for the PIN, enter the one noted above.
8. Click OKto save the settings.
The settings for Bluetooth PGChandling are separate from the ones used when docking. Through Bluetooth, only a single stor-
age and PGCPost URLlocation can be set for all PGCs.
Because the Bluetooth configuration only handles a single route, it is not possible to use the Design preview patter, or
the special registration pattern, using Bluetooth connectivity. To use the preview Pattern in PlanetPress Design or use
the special registration pattern, the pen's docking station must be used.
To specify where to send the PGC files received through Bluetooth:
1. Open penDirector.
2. Go to the Bluetooth tab
3. Click on the paired pen that you want to configure
4. Specify a PGCStorage folder
5. Check the PGCPOSTURLoption
6. Enter the URLof your PGChandling process in the box
7. Click OKto save.
PlanetPress Mobile Application
The PlanetPress Mobile application can be installed on some mobile phones and enable fast and direct connectivity between
the Anoto Digital Pen and PlanetPress Production. The connectivity between the pen and the mobile phone is done through
