  • 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 network settings are made with a network connected to the network board, the image can be saved on the network board or a FTP server, or can be printed out to the network printer on the network.

  • Page 13: Setting The Time

    Setting the Time The date and time are stamped on the printing paper and recorded in the file information when files are stored on the network board and FTP server, so set the network board’s time correctly. The time can also be set from a computer via a network (when connected to a LAN).

  • 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-32). 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-31W), 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-26).

  • 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. Storing with the Save or Network button is not possible. Press the Thumbnail button and select the page layout.

  • 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”.) 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. A (5 second) flashing “FL” display indicates that there is insufficient free capacity to permit storage in USB memory. Replace with a USB memory device having sufficient capacity. See “Meaning of Error Messages” on Page E-29 for other error displays. Note • Depending on the USB memory, it may take time for recognition or it may take time for saving. • When the ON/Standby button is pressed during the reading operation, the reading operation will be discontin- ued and the partially read image data will be stored in the USB memory.

  • Page 22: Saving Image Files On A Computer/Deleting Image Files

    Using USB Memory Saving Image Files on a Computer/Deleting Image Files Examples of operations follow for saving the image files in the USB memory device to the hard disk of the per- sonal computer, and for deleting the folder when the USB memory capacity is full. (There are various methods that can be used for saving and deleting including the use of Explorer.) See the instruction manual of your per- sonal computer or the software that you are using for information about using a personal computer.
  • Page 23 Using USB Memory Deleting USB memory image files with the com- puter Before deleting important image files, be sure to save them on the computer (as a data backup). Open “My Computer (or “Computer”)” and then open the drive icon which shows USB memory. The folder named “CB_Image” contains the memory stor- age data of the network board. Place the “CB_Image” folder in the “Recy- cle Bin”, right click on the icon and select “Empty Recycle Bin” from the pull-down menu. All of the data contained in “CB_Image” will be deleted. Even when the entire folder is deleted, a new CB_Image folder will be created automatically when USB memory is Drag to the Recycle Bin used again with the network board.

  • Page 24: 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 25 Using the network board connected to a computer On the computer, open “My Computer”, and from there open the network board identified as a removable device. (1) Double-click the “My Computer” (or “Computer”) icon to open (2) When the device icon for the network board (displayed as a removable disk) is double-clicked, the network board’s inter- nal 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. (3) Copy the “CBImage” file to [My Documents], etc., on the computer (“.jpg”, “.png” or “.pdf”, according to setting).

  • Page 26: Cb Setup (Operating The Network Board's Buttons
