Chapter 2 Using the PenCentra 130 This chapter covers the fundamental concepts, basic system operation and use, and system functions of your PenCentra 130. You should familiarize yourself with this information before you attempt to operate the system. Before Setting Up the PenCentra 130 2 Before you set up your PenCentra 130, there are two very important steps to perform: • The display screen can be damaged with improper use. Be sure to install one of the included screen protectors on your system.
PC Card Slots Reset Button Suspend/Resume Button Figure 2-1 Location of Suspend/Resume Button When you have finished working with your PenCentra, or when you will not be using it for an extended period, you should suspend operation to conserve battery power. There are two ways to suspend the system: Note: It is good practice to always save your active data before suspending the system. Doing so ensures that no data is lost in the event of power interruption.
Using the Pen 2 You can use the PenCentra pen to generate and capture electronic “ink”, to select items, and to navigate through programs on the pen tablet. The pen can be used like a two button mouse when used in conjunction with the right-mouse button hotpad. Programs that support handwriting recognition allow you to write characters directly on the screen with the pen. Caution • Ensure that a screen protector is installed on the pen tablet screen before you use the pen.
Pen calibration may be required due to the following situations: • The pen is being used for the first time. • The previous user of the PenCentra 130 pen tablet writes with the opposite hand or at a different pen angle. • The system has been in use for some time and the pen has not been recalibrated. To Calibrate the Pen 2 1. Open the Control Panel from the Start menu, and double-tap the Stylus icon. Select the Calibration property sheet, then click on Recalibrate. 2.
Replacing the Pen 2 With use, the pen tip may become worn or may pick up abrasive particles that can scratch the screen. A damaged or warped tip may not move freely, causing unpredictable results when using the pen. If your pen exhibits these problems, replace the pen. Inserting/Removing PC Cards 2 There are two PC Card slots in your PenCentra 130. With the system display facing you, slot 1 is located on the left and slot 2 is on the right (see Figure 2-2).
Removing and Installing a Battery Pack 2 To remove the PenCentra 130 battery pack, perform the following steps: 1. Save any active data and suspend your system. 2. Hold the system face down, with the arrow on the battery compartment pointing towards you (see Figure 2-3). Battery Pack Latch PS/2-style Port Battery Pack Figure 2-3 Removing/Installing the Battery Pack 3. Using the system pen, push the spring-loaded battery latch to the left. 4.
Charging the Battery Pack 2 There are two ways to charge your battery pack: while it is installed in the system or with an optional battery charger (FPSI part number FMW51BC1). To use the optional external battery charger, refer to the literature included with the unit. Note: An installed battery can be recharged while the system is running or suspended. If the system is running, the amount of time required to charge the battery is determined by the number and type of applications being used.
Attaching a Keyboard or Mouse 2 1. Before attaching a keyboard or mouse to your PenCentra 130, suspend system operation by either pressing the suspend/resume button, or clicking on Start/ Suspend. 2. Plug the keyboard or mouse plug into the PS/2-style port on the right-hand side of the pen tablet (see Figure 2-3 for the port location). Note: When a mouse is installed, the mouse icon on the control panel appears in the place of the Stylus icon. When a mouse is not installed, the Stylus icon appears.
Using the Hotpads 2 The PenCentra 130 hotpads are arranged vertically on the left-hand side of the screen. The following table identifies each hotpad on the PenCentra 130, and offers a description of its use. Table 2-2 Icon Name PenCentra 130 Hotpads Description This hotpad changes the LCD backlight brightness by cycling through the following states: Backlight Brightness Hotpad Color Reflective LCD (outdoor/indoor display): Low ->Medium ->High ->Off -> Low...
Table 2-2 Icon PenCentra 130 Hotpads (Continued) Name Programmable Hotpads #1, 2, and 3 Description When one of the programmable hotpads is tapped, it causes an associated application to be launched. If the associated application is already running when the hotpad is pressed, that application is brought to the foreground (a second instance of the application is not started). You can define which application will be launched by configuring the Application Launcher utility located in the Control Panel.

To do so, open the file, select File, select Password, and clear the Password field Remote Synchronization Note: 3 Be sure to log out of CE Services prior to removing the serial cable. If you do not log out, CE Services will continue to look for a connection when the cable is not installed.
Chapter 4 Using the PenCentra 130 Productivity Package This chapter contains information about the additional applications on your PenCentra 130 -- collectively known as the Productivity Package. The Productivity Package consists of applications that allow you to take notes, send faxes, perform handwriting recognition, use an on-screen keyboard, search for files, and check your spelling, along with several other system refinements.
Working with Books 4 The pages of notes that you take are kept in books. There can be up to four books on your PenCentra 130. To select the book you are working in go to the Tools menu and select Options. From Options you can also delete a book, this will erase its contents, or you can rename the book from the default name by just highlighting the name and typing a new one. Setting the Basic Options.
select Stamps or use the Stamp button on the Toolbar. There are three different types of stamps and five different individual stamps within each type. Simply select the type, then the stamp itself and hit OK. To remove a stamp go to the page you want to remove the stamp from, open the stamps dialog and from the type you selected choose None. Stamps can be turned on and off in the Options menu by checking the Stamps box.
Using Find 4 You can use the Find command to search for text or stamps in your notes for quicker access. Select Find from the Tools menu or use the Find button on the Toolbar and either select the stamp to search for or enter the text you wish to find. Find searches for text entered in InkSnap mode with the keyboard. Using Ink Snap 4 QuickNotes has a powerful and innovative feature called Ink Snap.
use in another application, by selecting the copy to bitmap option in the InkSnap menu. Sending a Fax 4 QuickNotes gives devices with modems and bFAX software the ability to fax a note directly from the application. To fax a page first make that page the current page and from the file menu select send fax. Your fax software will then take over and complete the task.
• Select Undo to go back to the last error. • Select Add to add the word to the custom dictionary. Note: You can edit the displayed text directly and press Change to put it back to the document window. Using the Quick Text / Macro feature 4 Macros are shortcuts to enter long words or phrases. For example, you can type sf followed by SPACE and Speller replaces it with San Francisco if it is so defined. To activate this feature, choose Quick Text/Macro from the Speller's menu.
Finding and replacing text in a window 4 Choose More then Find/Replace from Speller's menu. You are prompted to select the text window in which to find or replace text. The Find/Replace window appears. Enter the text string you want to find. If you want to replace it with another string, check the Replace with label and enter the string. Press Find to start the search. Managing your custom dictionary 4 Choose More/My Dictionary from Speller's menu. My Dictionary window appears.
Jot Tutorial 4 The best way to learn about using Jot 2.0 is to walk through the Jot tutorial. Jot 2.0 provides an animated tutorial with detailed demonstrations of character shapes and placement. To open the Jot tutorial, click on Start/Programs, then select Jot/Jot Tutorial. Jot Trainer 4 You can customize Jot to suit your writing style by enabling character shapes that you use. To start the Trainer, click Start/Programs, then select Jot/Jot Trainer.
1. Place the insertion point where you want the new text to appear. 2. With the pen’s tip touching the surface, move the pen across the screen of the device. What you write appears on-screen as ink, and after a moment the ink changes to printed text. 4 Erasing You can erase text by selecting the text, then tapping the Delete or Backspace key. You can also use the erase gesture on the selected text. 4 Selecting Select any amount of text by dragging the pen over it, with the pen tip touching the tablet.
Writing Punctuation Marks 4 When you write a character, you are aware — and can see on-screen — exactly what you intended to write. Handwriter however, might interpret what you wrote differently. This is especially likely with punctuation marks, if you write them alone. For example, a comma by itself could look like a right parenthesis. Ensure correct recognition of punctuation marks by writing them in the context of other characters.
Distinguish Letters from Numbers 4 Letters and numbers may look alike. For example, when writing the number “1055”, differentiate your “5” from an “S” by either making the top corners of the “5” sharper, or by writing a two-stroke “5”. A two-stroke “5” may look like an “S” on paper, but Handwriter never confuses them because an “S” is written with only one stroke: Distinguish a “one” from a lowercase letter “l” by placing a tail on the number.
Customizing Ink Settings 4 In the Appearance tab you can control ink width and color: • To customize the width of the ink stroke, select a size, then tap OK. • To customize the color of the ink, select Change Color, then select a color box, then tap OK. Select another tab, or tap OK to return to your document. Timeout 4 From the Timeout tab there are two kinds of timeout you can control: Recognition Timeout and Selection Timeout.
• To control spacing between words, tap the box next to Automatically insert a Space after a pause (complete words only). Note: This feature only works with Spell Checking. Be sure to check the Enable Recognition Dictionary box. However, if you pause after writing fewer than three characters (such as “an...”), you will have to insert a space manually after the last character. Select another tab, or tap OK to return to your document.
To write a circle gesture, write the letter, then immediately draw a circle around it. Using the Trainer 4 You can personalize the way Handwriter interprets what you write, by using the Recognition Tuner.

With bFAX you can either enter the information or tap the Contacts box and scroll to select one or more recipients from your PenCentra 130 Contacts list. The new recipient appears in the Recipient list for the selected fax.

Note: To send a fax, the fax/modem must be correctly inserted and connected to a live phone line. Adding/Removing Documents 4 After creating or selecting a fax, either from the Fax Workspace or from the Outbox, you can add documents to it. bFAX allows you to send as many documents as you wish.
If you enter a file name in the Look For field, bFIND searches for it using the default filter filename *.* as the file filter. If the Look For text contains an extension delimiter such as “.”, bFIND will use the text as is. Due to memory considerations, bFIND will abort the current search after it has found more than 50 items. If bFIND does not find the item you are looking for within the current 50 items, create a more specific search by modifying the search string or locations.
Other: Depending on the user’s configuration, other search locations may be displayed. Any database that is found on the PenCentra 130 without a script will still appear in the Search Location group box. For example, if you use Pocket Internet Explorer, “Cookies” and “URL Cache” will appear. For additional information on using the bSQUARE products, go to the bSQUARE web site: www.bsquare.com.
Chapter 5 Care and Maintenance of the PenCentra 130 This chapter provides pointers on how to care for and maintain your PenCentra 130 pen tablet. Protecting the Display Screen 5 The PenCentra 130 pen tablet is designed to provide you with years of service. Using a screen protector will help ensure that the screen remains as clear as possible. When installed, the screen protector becomes a durable, replaceable, antiglare writing surface that protects the display screen from abrasion.
Cautions • Cleaning the screen surface with denatured alcohol may result in streaking. If streaking occurs, buff the screen surface lightly with a soft, dry cloth. • The PenCentra 130 pen tablet is not waterproof. Do not pour liquids on the system or wash it with a soaked cloth. 3. Remove the protective coating from the adhesive side of the new screen protector first. 4. Apply the screen protector to the display screen surface.
Protecting the PenCentra 130 Pen Tablet in Harsh Environments 5 The PenCentra 130 pen tablet is designed for use in environments where there is no direct exposure to rain, mist, sprays, dirt, or other abrasive particles. The optional PenCentra 130 harsh environment case (FMWCC36) and the PenCentra 130 screen protector (FMWSP6) provide some protection in these environments, as well as from physical damage due to shock or vibration.
