InkNote Manager by Seiko Instruments 9
Introduction
InkLink™ Handwriting System and SmartPad ™, the Connected Notepad,
are two technologies from Seiko Instruments that link plain paper to your
computer.
Using our InkNote Manager software and an ordinary paper writing pad, the
InkLink Handwriting System and SmartPad automatically link to your
Pocket PC, Palm personal digital assistant, notebook, or desktop computer
and store anything that you write. Whether you scribble quick notes, draw
diagrams or maps, or take extensive notes at meetings, your handwritten
information is transferred and stored on your handheld or desktop.
This User’s Guide provides information about three products; InkLink,
SmartPad, and InkNote Manager. You probably have two of these three;
InkLink and InkNote Manager, or SmartPad and InkNote Manager. We
have identified sections that only pertain to InkLink or SmartPad so you can
skip information that you don’t need.

Introduction

Introducing the InkLink Handwriting
System
The InkLink Data Clip attaches to any standard notepad. A special pen is
provided, and it automatically transmits whatever you write through the
IrDA transceiver to your handheld or through the USB cable to your desk-
top computer. For convenience, the opposite end of the pen contains a stylus
point for use with the handheld.
How InkLink Works
The InkLink Data Clip continuously listens for communications from the
InkLink pen. As you write with the InkLink pen on the paper pad, the
InkLink Data Clip reads the location of the pen tip and communicates its
exact location to your handheld or desktop.
InkLink Features
The following diagram points out the InkLink features:
