Entering Text Manually
The Pen has two facilities for manual entry of characters, the
Character Bar and the Opticard. The services these features
provide are essentially identical. In certain situations, you
may find it more convenient to use the Character Bar to edit
text; in other situations, you may prefer to use the Opticard.
For example, if you simply want to correct a single character
in a sentence that you scanned, you may find it easier to use
the Character Bar. On the other hand, if you want to enter a
complete word or phrase, you might prefer the Opticard.
The Character Bar can be accessed whenever you are in
Edit mode. To access the Character Bar, make sure you are
in Edit mode, and press 2. The characters you enter are
inserted at the cursor. For a detailed description of the
Character Bar, see p. 35.
To begin using the Opticard, scan the Opticard key. The
characters you scan are inserted at the cursor. For a detailed
description of the Opticard, see p. 39.
