SuperPen Operation Manual, Version 2.34
3 The rollers should touch the page firmly but lightly.
4 Experiment by holding the SuperPen at different angles, between 75° and 90°, to
find the optimal angle for the font you are scanning.
5 Experiment by changing the speed at which you roll the SuperPen when you scan.
Slower scanning generally provides better results.
6 Try scanning from right to left instead of from left to right.
7 Wait until the Reading message disappears before scanning again. Accuracy is better
if the SuperPen finishes processing the first line before it begins processing the

8 Make sure to keep the center of the SuperPen tip aligned with the center of the letters
in the line so that the text is read accurately.
