io - General Discussion

[pcim]

Hi,

Quick question.... I recently got the IO2 Digitial Writing System. The box cover shows a user created drawing and the image of the converted image shows a few different colors.

Is there a way to do this? Does it require a special type of form? There don't seem to be any IO tags to change colors.

Or is the box just marketing hype?

Thanks.

Hi pcim

I think there are two ways to change the colours. Firstly, once you have downloaded your writing to the PC you can use the Logitech software to edit the writing - you can select any strokes & change the colour, etc.

Secondly, some notebooks/pads have pidgets (this is the name for icons that perform functions on Anoto paper - like the "new notebook" pidget) for changing the colour.

I don't have any such notebooks. However, I'm interested in getting the cheap Logitech notebooks to be more useful, like some of the other expensive notebooks out there. So I have made myself a Word document containing pidgets for changing colour (limited to black, red & blue only) and line thickness. If you post your email address, I can send it to you, if you like. I believe you have to print it on a laser printer with a physical resolution of 600dpi (or a multiple of that) otherwise the Anoto pattern won't work. I print them onto labels & stick the labels in the back of my notebooks. It works for me but I can't give you any technical support.

Kind regards,

Nigel

Nigel,

That would be extremely helpful. Thanks.
