Page 12: Operation Steps
Operation Steps The network board uses an image scanner to scan characters or diagrams drawn using special markers (four colors). The image can be printed out to the printer and be stored on a USB memory device or a computer. When connected to a network, completing the network settings makes it possible to transfer image files by e-mail, save them on the FTP server or print them on a network printer. -
Page 13: Setting The Time
Setting the Time Be sure to complete clock setting to print correct time and attach time and date information to the created digi- tal files. The time can also be set from a computer via a network (when connected to a LAN). In this section, operation for setting the time by using buttons on the network board is provided. - Page 14 Setting the Time While “F1” is displayed, press the Save button to enter. The display switches to “c1” (first 2 digits of year). If no buttons are operated for 10 seconds while in the time setting mode, the mode returns to the “CB Setup” mode.

Page 15: Printing (Printer Sold Separately
Printing (printer sold separately) Use a printer to print out the image that has been drawn on the sheet surface. Use a PLUS-designated printer. Operations and names of parts differ from printer to printer. For details of operations, see your printer’s operat- ing instructions. The network board can print out to the printer connected to the network board or a network. -
Page 16: Basic Printing Operation
Printing Basic Printing Operation Preparation: Preparation: Check that the AC power plugs of the network board and printer are con- nected to wall power outlets. Press the ON/Standby button and switch on the power. Prepare the printer. (See the previous page.) Note • When turning on the power, wait about 5 seconds or more after the power plug has been connected before pressing the ON/Standby button. • Press the ON/Standby button to switch on the power. The LED of the display window will light. • Turn on the network board’s power before turning on the printer’s power. Press the Scroll/Stop or button and display the sheet surface you want to print. - Page 17 Printing Note • “01” is selected when the power is turned on. • Up to 10 copies can be specified and displayed on the display window. • The number of copies increases by 1 each time the Number of Copies button is pressed, and “ ” is displayed after “10” (this is used for test printing: see page E-30). When the button is pressed again, the display switches to “01”. The number switches continuously if the button is held in. • After setting the number of copies, proceed to step 4 within 1 minute. The number of copies is reset to “01” if no operation is performed within 1 minute. Press the Network Print or the On Board Print button to print. The reading operation is performed for a one-sheet portion (while the sheet is scrolled) and the printing operation is per- formed. To change printing color (Color or B/W), perform thumbnail printing or continuous printing, make each setting (see next page) and press the appropriate Print button. Notice • To use the network printing function, connect the FTP supported printer to the same network where the network board is located, and make the printer settings on the network board. Cancellation of the print operation in progress When the ON/Standby button is pressed, the reading of the sheet stops, and the partially read image data is printed. Wait until the sheet is expelled from the printer. Note • If the ON/Standby button is pressed while the sheet surface is being read, printing is interrupted and only part of the image will be printed. • The one-screen portion is reduced to A4 paper size and printed. For wide type network boards (model N-32W), the image is compressed about 75% in the horizontal direction. To print with the same proportions as the image on the sheet surface, see “CB Setup (Operating the Network Board’s Buttons)” (page E-24).

Page 18: Moving The Sheet Surface Manually
Printing Moving the sheet surface manually The sheet can be moved even when the power of the network board is switched off. The sheet can be moved with your hand either in left or right. Please place your hand at the vertical center and move the sheet slowly. Notice • Quick movement can cause damage to the drive mechanism of the network board. Note • When the Erase Reminder function is set to “Enable”, the Erase Reminder function may not operate properly if the sheet surface is moved by hand. Printing Thumbnails Multiple screens from the screen at the current position can be printed on a single page. • The thumbnail printing function is for printing only.

Page 20: Using Usb Memory
Using USB Memory The content of what has been drawn on the sheet surface of the network board can be saved in USB memory. Later, the saved image can be read into a personal computer and made into a document of the proceedings of the meeting, or affixed to a document. - Page 21 Using USB Memory Press the Save button to store. Flashing indicator “rotates” sequentially during USB memory storage operation. Display window • The reading operation is performed for a one-sheet portion (while the sheet is scrolled) and USB memory storage starts after the scrolling completes. • Multiple screens can be stored consecutively. (See Page E-19, “Consecutive Printing”.) • If the images are in PDF format, all the images are combined into1 file. For other image formats, the images are stored in multiple files with -1, -2 added to the end of the sequential file names. (Example: PV-001-1.png, PV-001-2.png). The (5 second) flashing “US” display indicates that the USB memory has not been inserted. Please insert the USB memory and then press the Save button.

Page 22: Using The Network Board Connected To A Computer
Using the network board connected to a computer When the network board and a computer are connected by USB cable, the network board is recognized as an external memory device (removable device). Below is the procedure for copying the “CBImage” file from this device onto the computer. Images can be stored in JPEG (.jpg), PNG (.png) or PDF (.pdf) format, selectable in the network board settings (“CB Setup”). - Page 23 Using the network board connected to a computer Launch Explorer and open this unit’s removable device. (1) When the device icon for the network board (displayed as a removable disk) is double-clicked, the network board’s internal memory opens. The “CBImage” file is the scanned image file (“.jpg”, “.png” or “.pdf”, according to setting). • The “setup” folder contains the simple network settings file. (2) Copy the “CBImage” file to [My Documents], etc., on the computer (“.jpg”, “.png” or “.pdf”, according to setting). Perform the USB disconnection operation on the computer before disconnecting the USB cable. Note that the image data in the network board’s computer storage memory is deleted if the operation for disconnecting the USB connection between the network board and computer is performed at this time. Note If both USB memory device and computer are connected to the network board, data is saved in memory for PC. Data is not saved in memory for USB. • The “setup” folder will be created in memory for PC. This folder contains the “setting.ini” file recording the firm- ware version, MAC address, network settings. For details, refer to the separate “N-32 Series Network Manual”. E-23...
