In Mouse mode, your Digital Pen behaves as a mouse, having the following functionality:

•  To move your mouse cursor you can hover with the pen. To start Hovering you can press the side button or tip the pen on the paper. The pen will now hover even with no press for about 30 seconds.
•  To Click an object, point your mouse cursor on that object. Now tip the pen on the paper or click the side button.
•  To Double-Click an object, point your mouse cursor on that object. Now tip the pen twice on the paper or click the side button twice.
•  To Right-Click an object, point your mouse cursor on that object. Now press the tip of the pen a bit longer on the paper. A special side button ‘Right Click’ cursor will appear. Lift the pen from the paper, and the context menu (Right Click menu) appears.

Using the Digital Pen on a MAC in connected mode                           

Digital Pen operation with Mac

(1)  Use the Digital Pen to capture and save your notes while you are away from your Mac, in meetings or lectures.

(2)  Connect the Digital Pen to your Mac to upload the saved notes. The notes are saved in TIFF format in the directory that you have specified. Double click on the desired TIFF file in order to view the note.

(3)  While being connected to the Mac via the USB port, the Digital Pen can be used as a Mouse and as a Tablet input device for Mac ink applications. To use the Digital Pen as a Tablet Input device, you first need to enable this mode by clicking the Ink icon at the top bar of the MAC desktop and then selecting “Write Anywhere”. If you deselect “Write Anywhere”, your Digital Pen will work as a mouse only.

Note:  If the ink icon cannot be seen, you can display it in the following way:

a.    Connect the device to MAC.

b.    On the t op-right bar, click  and then input “ink”.

c.     Select “Spotlight Preference”, and then choose “Show All”.

d.    Click “Ink”.

e.    Set “Handwriting recognition” as “On” and select “Show ink in menu bar”. The ink icon should appear on the toolbar.

(4)  Use the digital pen in applications such as iWork’08. You can write handwritten letters on-line, and the Mac will convert it into text. The feature is available for iWork Pages (word processor), iWork Keynote (presentations) and iWork Numbers (spreadsheets).

Note: The Digital Pen can be also used for drawings inside applications such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.

 Using the Vision Objects MyScript® Notes                          

By default the pen transfers the notes you write in TIFF files to your Mac.

If you would like to make use of the included Myscipt Notes software, in order to convert your notes into editable text; you need to transfer your notes off your pen via the MyScript InkRetriever application: this is installed automatically with the MyScript Studio Notes Editor program.

To use, open the MyScript InkRetriever application and:

-           In the Retrieval settings tab:

o    choose the folder where the ink files from your device will be stored:

click Browse to select the folder.

o    Next, decide how the ink download should occur:

§          Choose whether you want to overwrite any files with the

same name already in the folder.

§          Choose whether or not to keep the ink files on the device or to clear its memory after downloading.

o    Choose whether MyScript should scan every USB device plugged in, to check whether it contains digital ink. It may be necessary to activate this option if you use a device that MyScript does not recognize immediately. Take care: when this option is active, all new USB devices will be scanned, which may take a long time for large-capacity devices!

o    We recommend that you leave the Launch automatically on Windows startup option active, so the file watching process can happen without any intervention.

o    Click OK to confirm.

-           On the Pegasus settings tab:

o    give a file name prefix to help identify the ink files from this device.

o    It is important to specify where the device was clipped to the paper, as

this determines the ink position.

o    Ink from this device must be downloaded manually. This dialog box will open every time you plug in the device. To bring the ink files onto your computer, click the Download ink button.

o    If you tick the Download without asking me opt ion, the download will happen automatically each time without the dialog box appearing. If you choose an automatic download, make sure you use the same base unit orientation for any future notes!

o    Click OK when you are done.
