Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of the state of the art
scanning Pen from WizCom Technologies. WizCom makes
personal, portable scanning Pens that assist with reading,
understanding and utilizing text.
Use the Pen to scan full lines of text, receive word-by-word
translations, and hear scanned words pronounced aloud.
Use the CD provided with the Pen to install one or more of a
wide range of dictionaries.
The Pen can also scan and store printed material anytime
and anywhere. Use the Pen to store over 500 pages of
printed text, in a wide range of fonts and sizes, for easy
transfer to a PC, PDA or Smartphone. Text can also be
scanned directly into any Windows-based application for
ultimate productivity!

the Pen, including explanations of all the Pen menu
options, applications and different ways of scanning,

Scanning Guidelines
Scanning Mode
The Pen is in scanning mode when the red light at the tip of
the Pen is blinking. Scanning mode is disabled when
accessing menus.
Scanning Direction
Text can be scanned from right to left or from left to right.
Both will produce the same results.
Scanning Restrictions
The Pen scans and recognizes printed text in a wide range
of languages, font types and point sizes (6-22 points, up to
8mm) and in a variety of colors on contrasting backgrounds
(except red on white, white on red, blue on black and black
on blue).
It does not recognize handwriting, cursive fonts,
mathematical symbols or other profession-specific signs.
Tips for Good Scanning
To ensure optimum scanning results:
 Hold the Pen at the correct scanning angle.
 Place the scanning material on a flat surface.
 Ensure scanning material is good quality and pages are
not creased. Poorly photocopied materials may provide
bad results.
 Do not scan too fast.
Correct scanning angle of 90°
Poor Character Recognition
Poor character recognition may occur for the following
reasons:
 Low quality scanning material.
 The scanning settings are not set correctly (e.g.
Inverse).
 Holding the Pen at the wrong scanning angle.
 Scanning too fast.

should be maintained even when scanning without the
trainer.
Use the following practice sentence:
This sentence will help me practice scanning.
7. Glide the Pen from right to left in a straight line over the
text. Start scanning 1cm from the end of the text and
finish 1cm after the beginning of the text.

The correct settings (when using the USB cable) should be
as follows:
1. The Port should correspond to the COM port being
used by the Pen. To find out whether the port is correct
do the following:
a. Connect the USB cable to a USB port on your PC.
b. On your computer go to Start/Settings/Control
Panel and select System.
c. Click on the Hardware tab and then click on the
Device Manager.
d. Scroll down to Ports (COM & LPT) and open the
drop-down list of ports.
e. Find the "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port" and
note the corresponding COM port number.
f. Go back to the Communications Settings dialog
box and modify the Port option accordingly.
2. The Baud Rate should be set to 115,200.
3. Click OK.
Note: If the "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port" is not listed
under Ports (COM & LPT) it means that the USB driver has
not been installed correctly. Go back to the CD and rerun the
driver installation. If at any stage you are requested to restart
your computer, please do so.
Once this is complete, run the Communications Wizard to
establish communications between your Pen and the PC.
Make sure you are an administrator on your PC and that the
cable jack is pushed firmly into the Pen (until you hear the
last little “click”).
The Communications Wizard can be accessed from the
Help menu on the Menu Bar of the WizCom Desktop.
If you are experiencing trouble installing the PC software and
establishing communications, see Troubleshooting on page
69.
