SuperPen Operation Manual, Version 2.34
Part 7: Viewing, Editing, and Manually Entering Text in the
SuperPen
The SuperPen has a number of features that help you view and edit text that is already on
your SuperPen, and manually enter text. You can use these features to add or delete
characters, lines, or paragraphs.
Editing Modes
Text fields on the SuperPen are always in one of three modes: Scan Only, Edit, or View. Each
text field opens in one of these modes. For example, the field in which you enter the name of
a new file opens in Scan Only mode, and a Notes file opens in Edit mode.
Scan Only Mode
In Scan Only mode, you can overwrite existing text by
scanning new information with the SuperPen. When you
are in this mode, the field you are editing or text you have
scanned is displayed highlighted as inverse text.
To switch from Scan Only mode to Edit mode, press

text you scanned in is highlighted.

Edit Mode
In Edit mode, you can edit existing text by using the Edit
Menu, the Character Bar, or the Opticard, or by scanning
additional text. When you are in this mode, the text you
have scanned is displayed as regular text with a blinking
cursor at the insertion point. Text that you scan is inserted

if you enter a new address or link, scanned the text and wish to go back and change the
text, you can press
and rescan the text. You will be asked whether you want to Save
the changes. Select Yes, No or Cancel to keep the old text.

arrow, and press
to access the Character Bar. The Character Bar enables you to
manually enter text to overwrite or insert characters.
