User manual
Why is the notebook called a “Paper Tablet”?
The distinctive rounded pages of the notebook extend beyond the cover to reflect the shape
and look of a digital tablet.
Who makes the Pen+?
Pen is designed and manufactured by NeoLAB Convergence in Korea
What is the technology that enables the function of the Pen+?
Paper Tablet paper is printed with coded dots that are readable by the optical lens on the Pen+.
Called “nCode”, this technology was developed by NeoLAB with dots that are not recognizable
to the naked eye, but only by a specific optical machine enabled with nCode technology. These
dots enable the App to recognize where the Pen+ is within the notebook and on the pages. The
Moleskine Pen+ is designed to work ONLY with the nCode Technology.

What is the App to run the program?
Pen+ works in tandem with Moleskine Notes App. Available for free from the Apple App Store
or from Google Play for Android devices. Please search for “Moleskine Notes App”, “Moleskine
Pen+”
oApp works on tablets and smartphones only. App does not work on desk top/laptop
computers.
How does the Pen connect to the App?

Charging the pen
oMake sure to charge the product after purchase as it may have low battery.
oThe LED light will turn red while the battery is being charged. Once charging is complete,
it will change back to green. (if the battery is being charged with PC, PC will recognize
the pen as a removable disk and the LED will turn violet)
Power ON/OFF
oIf you press the power button or put the pen tip on the paper, the pen will be activated
with LED light on, within a second. (the auto power function is enabled when the pen is
first connected to the App. You can change the setting in the App).
oWhen the pen is on, press the power button for 2 seconds, the LED light will start
flashing and the power will turn off.
oIf there is no action taken for more than 20 minutes, the pen will turn off automatically.
o(you can change the auto-power-off time in the setting. The longer auto-power-off time
is set, the shorter pen usage time will be available)
oIf you do not use the pen for more than 10 seconds, it will automatically change to
standby mode to reduce battery power consumption
How to grip the Pen+:
oThe recognition rate is heavily affected by the direction of the optical sensor’s angle.
Sensor (oval shaped cavity under the pen tip) should face downwards. Deviating from
the appropriate degree, or holding the pen in the wrong direction could cause
difficulties with capturing your writing or drawing.
What type of battery does it have?
Rechargeable lithium polymer battery 3.7V/300mAh

Please note that the app is continually updated and new languages may be available in future.
Can multiple notebooks be used at the same time?
Yes, the Pen+ recognizes which notebook it is writing in, so it can be used in two different
labeled notebooks at the same time- Paper Tablet I, a Paper Tablet II or a Red Paper Tablet.
Two notebooks of the same label- ie, two Paper Tablet I or two Paper Tablet II- cannot be used
at the same time as the App will not be able to distinguish. Notebooks of the same label can be
used sequentially once the first notebook has been archived in the App.
What is the recommended paperband placement for decorated notebooks?
We are only recommending to put the paperband in the center of the notebook. Do this so that
the set matches the retail product. Also, please consider that the paperband has a special shape
on the back that would look strange if it were not centered on the notebook.
