How to use IRISnotes?

Writing notes

Position the receiver unit at the top of your A4 paper sheets and turn it on.

The receiver can be placed in 3 positions*, in the center, at the left corner, or at the right corner. Here is the coverage area in each of the positions.

(*) Not available under Windows Vista

If necessary, select the preferred position in Easy Note Taker: select Set Device orientation from the Configuration menu.

Hold the pen firmly and write normally. Try to avoid line skew.

Press the receiver unit button each time you want to start a new note (you can store up to 100 A4 paper sheets). A new page will be created in the software.

! Hold the pen properly:

 ! Do not place your hand between the pen and the receiver unit

 ! Keep your fingers away from the pen tip crystal cone

Uploading notes 

-          Connect the receiver unit to your PC (using the USB cable) and launch Easy Note Taker.

-          In the Note Manager, click on Upload on the main toolbar. All the notes get uploaded from the receiver to your PC and    can be viewed on screen.

You can select other preferences for the upload. Select Preferences from the Configuration menu and get to the Mobile tab:

Managing notes 

-   The uploaded notes are available in the Mobile Notes folder. They can further be edited using the Note Editor, sorted,                saved, exported and e-mailed as JPEG files.

Converting notes 

-          In the Note Manager, click on Convert to text  on the main toolbar.

-          Choose the conversion settings in MyScript Notes Lite. The conversion is performed instantly.

Using the pen in mouse mode 

You can set the pen to mouse mode. In this mode, tapping the pen in the writing area or pressing the button on the side of the pen will act like a single mouse click. Pressing and holding the pen down for a moment will act like a right mouse click.
