The PenExplorer

The PenExplorer is the application your Pen uses to

communicate with the PC. Use the PenExplorer for:

1. History retrieval: Upload the list of recently viewed

words from the ReadingPen application to the PC.

2. File management: Copy files onto the Pen for use in

the ReadingPen application.

3. Compacting flash memory: Compact the Pen flash

card.

Installing the PenExplorer and USB driver

Install the PenExplorer from the CD you received with the

Pen. The installation also installs the USB driver needed for

Pen- PC communications.

The PenExplorer installs to the Program Files folder on

PenService.exe, runs in the background in wait mode and

only becomes active when Pen-PC Communications are

established. It can be seen in the Processes tab of the

Windows Task Manager.
