Chapter 1 Introducing the Digital Pen

Introduction

This book is for users of the HP Digital Pen 250 and the related software. It provides the information you
need to set up and use your digital pen, and includes troubleshooting information for some common
problems.
It assumes you are familiar with using a PC.

About the Digital Pen

Your digital pen writes like an ordinary pen, but it also contains a camera. When you use the pen to
write on specially printed paper (known as digital paper), the camera records each pen stroke
electronically in the pen memory.
The pen memory can store the equivalent of 40 A4 pages of full text or recording data for up to 200
forms, whichever comes first.
The pen battery when fully charged provides power for 2 hours of continuous writing use, or for the
equivalent of about 25 pages of full text. If the pen is left on but unused, a full charge lasts 10 hours. If
the pen is turned off, a charge lasts approximately four weeks.

Operating Conditions

To keep the HP Digital Pen 250 in working order, treat it like any electronic device:
Keep it away from sources of heat, such as the dashboard of a car on a hot day. Operating
•
conditions are from 0ºC to 40ºC (32ºF to 104ºF). Never place the pen in conditions that exceed
60ºC (140ºF).
Avoid drops and shocks; for example, the pen will fail if repeatedly dropped on the floor.
•
Keep it away from damp environments and avoid spillages and immersion.
•
Keep it away from dirty and dusty environments, which could block the pen optical system.
•
The pen can be used in a wide range of light conditions. It has been tested up to a light intensity of 100
kLux, the equivalent of using the pen outside on a sunny day. The pen contains an infrared light source
and camera, so it can also be used in bad light conditions or even in complete darkness.
You should only charge the battery in temperatures between 5Cº to 40ºC (41ºF to 104ºF).
The warranty does not cover damage as a result of accident or misuse of the pen or cradle.
