Windows CE 2.11 Systems

Along with the Microsoft Windows CE applications, FPC has included the ParaGraphTM CalliGrapher application. CalliGrapher is a full-featured technology that recognizes all handwriting styles: cursive, print, or mixed. The following list lists some of the features of the CalliGrapher program: Optimized to work with color Windows CE-based device. Reliably recognizes cursive, printed, and mixed handwriting from a wide range of handwriting styles Integrates with all Windows CE applications Includes vocabulary checker and spell-checker with a user dictionary On-screen pop-up keyboard Microsoft H/PC 2000 Systems 1
The H/PC 2000 systems include two handwriting recognizers from Communication Intelligence Corporation: Jot and Handwriter for HPC 2000. Jot offers single character recognition, providing immediate user feedback. Handwriter provides full context natural character recognition with complete macro and gesture support. The following list describes some of the features of the program: Data input is more natural. No special symbols or characters to memorize. Jot allows users to input text by using standard upper and lower case printed letters that offer ready-to-go recognition of printed characters without requiring any training. Full-Screen Support. Jot enables users to input text on the full screen or in the input panel area. Jot supports writing in place so that you can write one letter on top of another and never run out of screen space.
Simple User-Interface. Jot uses mode marks to divide the input area into different regions so where you write determines if the character will be read as upper case, lower case, numeric or a symbol. Jot enables you to use the center area of the screen to get capital letters. See Your Writing in Ink. Jot helps users improve their recognition accuracy by enabling characters to be viewed in ink as they are written. International Character Support. Jot supports recognition of Roman-based Western European languages and accent marks. Tutorial. Jot provides an extensive tutorial demonstrating how to write letters and symbols. Macro Editor: You can define frequently used phrases (such as name and E-mail address) or actions (such as copy or paste) for quicker text entry and editing.

Chapter 3 Using Microsoft CE Applications
The wide variety of programs delivered with the PenCentra 200 can be divided into three general categories: Windows CE applications, Windows CE Services, and Productivity Package applications. The Windows CE applications and CE Services are covered in this chapter; the handwriting recognition applications are covered in Chapter 4. Note: Some of the applications covered in this chapter may not be applicable, depending upon the customization performed by your reseller or IS department.

Microsoft Pocket Office

The Microsoft Office companion programs consist of Microsoft Pocket Word, Microsoft Pocket Excel, Microsoft Pocket Access, and Microsoft Pocket PowerPoint. These programs work with the Windows versions of the same programs on your desktop computer to give you easy access to up-to-date copies of your documents. You can create or edit Excel and Word files, PowerPoint presentation notes, and Access databases and tables on your PenCentra 200. Word and Excel templates are available to help you quickly create documents. Once you have created or edited a document on your PenCentra 200, synchronize it with your desktop computer to copy the new document to your desktop computer. For more information on synchronization, see the section of this chapter entitled Sychronizing Files and File Conversion. To access the Office companion programs, select Start, Programs, Office, and then the program you want to open. Note:
More information on the procedures described in this chapter, as well as information on additional procedures, can be found in on-line Help on your PenCentra 200.

Microsoft Pocket Outlook

The Microsoft Pocket Outlook program includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Inbox. Using Windows CE Services, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop computer with your PenCentra 200. Each time you synchronize, Windows CE Services compares the changes you made on your PenCentra 200 and desktop computer and updates both computers. For more information, see the section of this chapter entitled Microsoft Windows CE Services.

To disconnect Inbox from your mail server, select the Connect button again. You also need to disconnect your dial-up connection by double-tapping or double-clicking the icon in the status bar and selecting Disconnect. Managing messages and folders 3
By default, messages are displayed in one of four folders in the service you created: Inbox, Deleted (local), Outbox, and Sent. The Deleted (local) folder contains messages that have been deleted on the PenCentra 200. If you are using IMAP4, you may see a Deleted Items folder. This folder is for deleted messages on the server. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent folders depends on the Inbox options you have chosen. If you want to organize messages into additional folders, select File, Folder, and then New Folder. Then, drag messages into the folder you created. The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using POP3 or IMAP4.

Show Attachments Button

Select the Get Full Copy button to download the rest of the message the next time you connect.
Double-tap or double-click an attachment to mark it for downloading the next time you connect. If it has already been downloaded, double-tap or doubleclick it to open it.

Figure 3-14

Downloading E-mail Messages
If you are using POP3, when you drag messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the PenCentra 200 Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to the messages you move to the folders you create from anywhere except your PenCentra 200. If you are using IMAP4, the folders you create and the messages you move are mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder called Family, the server will create a copy of the Family folder and copy the messages into that folder. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your PenCentra 200, laptop
Microsoft Pocket Outlook 47
computer, or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs when you create a new folder, move messages into a folder, exit the Inbox program, or select Synchronize Folders on the Services menu. If you want to view the messages in a folder while disconnected from your mail server, select the folder and then Off-line Folder on the Services menu.
ActiveSync: Synchronizing E-mail
Another way to access your e-mail is by synchronizing your PenCentra 200 and desktop computer. Using Windows CE Services on your desktop computer, you can send and receive e-mail messages by exchanging information between Inbox on your PenCentra 200 and Inbox in either Outlook or Exchange on your desktop computer. When you synchronize, any changes made on either computer are transferred to the other. If you have received new messages in Inbox on your desktop computer, the messages are copied to your PenCentra 200. If you delete a message on the PenCentra 200, it is deleted from the desktop the next time you synchronize. If you compose and send new e-mail messages on your PenCentra 200, the messages are moved to the desktop computer and sent the next time you synchronize. In addition, changes youve made to Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks are updated. If you are receiving e-mail by synchronizing with your desktop computer, the PenCentra 200 Inbox is set up by default. However, because e-mail messages are not synchronized by default, you will need to set up Windows CE Services on your desktop computer to include e-mail messages when synchronizing. To do so, select your PenCentra 200 icon in the Mobile Devices folder on the desktop and then click ActiveSync Options on the Tools menu. Click the Options button to set options such as how much of a message to download and whether you want attachments included. You will not be able to change these settings from your PenCentra 200. For specific instructions on setting up and using synchronization, see Chapter 7: Microsoft Windows CE Services. Downloading messages 3

Connecting to Your Desktop to Synchronize Remotely
To synchronize remotely, the following conditions must be met: You must first establish a partnership between your PenCentra 200 and desktop computer while at your desktop computer.
The desktop computer must be turned on and you must be logged in. Schedule+, Exchange, or Outlook must be running with your user profile. In the lower-right corner of the Mobile Devices window, the connection status must show Waiting for mobile device to connect. In the ActiveSync Options dialog box in Windows CE Services, synchronization must be enabled. (Or you can select Automatically synchronize if data is out-of-date.)
If you are communicating through a modem connected to the desktop computer, the modem must be turned on. Also, the Auto Connect should be set to At all times in Windows CE Services. Otherwise, a Mobile Devices window must be open. If you are communicating with the desktop computer through a dial-up or network connection, you must be logged on to the network on the desktop computer. Before you leave, select Enable a network connection in the Windows CE Services Properties dialog box. If your computer must be turned off while you are away from your office, you cannot synchronize remotely. However, you can dial in directly to your network to receive your e-mail. For more information, see Connecting to Your Network. If the above conditions are met, you can synchronize with your desktop computer while away from the office in one of three ways: Create a dial-up connection using a RAS account. Before you can create this dial-up connection, your network administrator will need to set up a RAS account for you. Once connected to the network, your PenCentra 200 will find your desktop computer and initiate synchronization. If this is the method you want to use, see To create a dial-up connection to a network. Once the connection has been created and you are connected, select Start, Programs, Communications, and then ActiveSync on your PenCentra 200. In the ActiveSync dialog box, select the dial-up connection you created as the method to connect and the name of the computer you want to connect to. Use an Ethernet card to connect to the network. Once connected to the network, your PenCentra 200 will find your desktop computer and initiate synchronization. If this is the method you want to use, see To create a network (Ethernet) connection. Once the connection has been created and you are connected, select Start, Programs, Communications, and then ActiveSync on your PenCentra 200. In the ActiveSync dialog box, select Network Connection as the method to connect and the name of the computer you want to connect to. Create a dial-up connection to a modem connected directly to your computer. The modem must be set up to answer incoming calls. If this is the method you want to use, see To create a dial-up connection to a modem attached to your desktop computer. Once the connection has been created and you are connected, select Start, Programs, Communications, and then ActiveSync on your PenCentra 200. In the ActiveSync dialog box, select the dial-up connection you created as the method to connect and the name of the computer from the Connect to list.

To create a dial-up connection to a desktop modem Note: If you are a Windows 95 user, you will need to install the Dial-Up Networking Upgrade 1.2 and create a user account if User Level Access is enabled in Dial-Up Networking. If you are a Windows 98 user, you will need to add a second dial-up adapter. For more information, see Windows CE Services Help.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Follow the modem manufacturers directions to install a modem on your desktop computer. Note the telephone number for your desktop computer modem. On your desktop computer, open the Mobile Device folder. Click File and then Communications. Under Device Connections via Serial Port, click your modem in the Ports list. Click Enable mobile device connection. Click Enabled in both Device Connections via Serial Port and Device Connections via Network. Follow the steps in To create a dial-up connection to an ISP to create the connection. Substitute the phone number you noted in step 2 for the ISP dial-in number.
Getting Help on Connecting Remotely
More information on the procedures described here, as well as information on additional procedures, can be found in the following locations: Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages in this chapter. Microsoft Windows CE Services in this chapter.
On-line Help on your PenCentra 200. Select Start, Help, and then Inbox, Remote Connections, or Synchronization. Windows CE Services online Help on the desktop computer. Open the Mobile Devices folder and then click Windows CE Services Help Topics on the Help menu. Troubleshooting information is also contained here.
Microsoft Windows CE Services
Microsoft Windows CE Services with ActiveSync enables you to synchronize the information on your desktop computer with the information on your PenCentra 200. Synchronization is the process of comparing the data on your PenCentra 200 with your desktop computer and updating both computers with the most recent information. For example: Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your PenCentra 200 with your choice of Microsoft Outlook (Inbox synchronization with Outlook Express is not currently supported), Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop computer. Synchronize Word and Excel documents, Access and other ODBC databases and tables, and InkWriter documents between your PenCentra 200 and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format. With Windows CE Services, you can also: Back up and restore your PenCentra 200 data. Add and remove programs on your PenCentra 200. Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your PenCentra 200 and your desktop computer.

Installing Windows CE Services and Setting up a Partnership
1. 2. 3. 4. If you want to upgrade to Microsoft Outlook 98, install it first. Use a standard serial cable to connect your PenCentra 200 to your desktop computer. Insert the Desktop Software for Microsoft Windows CE CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
The Windows CE Services Setup Wizard should start automatically. If it doesnt, click the Start button, then select Run. In the Open box, type d:\setup, where d is your CD-ROM drive. Click the OK button. Follow the directions on your screen.
Once installation is complete, a wizard will instruct you to connect your PenCentra 200 and desktop computer and guide you through setting up a partnership and performing your first synchronization. Some items, such as messages, are not synchronized by default. To change the type of items that get synchronized after
56 Using Microsoft CE Applications
youve completed the wizard, select your device icon in the Mobile Devices folder and then click ActiveSync Options on the Tools menu. If you are synchronizing with a computer running Windows 95/98, you can also use an infrared connection to synchronize. For more information, see Windows CE Services Help. Note: Regularly back up your PenCentra 200 data on your desktop computer using Windows CE Services in case information on your PenCentra 200 is ever corrupted or lost. Connect your PenCentra 200 and then click Backup/Restore on the Tools menu in the Mobile Devices folder on your desktop computer. Your first back up may take some time, depending on how much information you have on your PenCentra 200. Subsequent backups will be faster if you select Incremental.
Synchronizing Files and File Conversion
One way to move documents to your PenCentra 200 is to simply connect your device and desktop computer, open your device icon in the Mobile Devices folder, and drag the files. Copies of the files will be placed on your PenCentra 200, and files will be automatically converted to a format that the PenCentra 200 can read. However, if you have documents that you update frequently on both your PenCentra 200 and desktop computer, you may want to synchronize the copy on your desktop computer with the one on your PenCentra 200 so that you always have an up-to-date copy on both computers. To do so, store the files you want to synchronize in the Synchronized Files folder on the PenCentra 200 and desktop computer. During synchronization, files are updated in both locations. Note: On the PenCentra 200, the Synchronized Files folder is in the My Documents folder. On the desktop computer, the Synchronized Files folder is called device Synchronized Files, where device is the name of your PenCentra 200. If you are using Windows 95/98, the folder is located in the My Documents folder (c:\My Documents\device Synchronized Files). If you are using Windows NT, the folder is located in the Personal folder (c:\Winnt\Profiles\your username\Personal\device Synchronized Files).

Getting started

Do you see a pen image on the taskbar? It would look like one of these pictures:
The pen image indicates that CalliGrapher is already running. Note that switching your system on and off does not close CalliGrapher. CalliGrapher will produce an error message indicating that it cannot load a DLL if you didnt reset the system when you were asked to do so by the installation program. Start CalliGrapher (if it is not already running). To do this, find the CalliGrapher icon on your PenCentra 200 desktop. It looks like this:
Double-tap on it (or tap once and then press "Enter"). After CalliGrapher starts, youll see the pen and the marker images in the taskbar tray (in the bottom right corner of the screen). Press your pen tip on either of those images and keep it pressed for a while (until you hear a "click") to activate the CalliGrapher menu. Note: In CalliGrapher, the operations done by tapping on something and by pressing the pen and waiting for a "click" are often different.
Using the Handwriting Recognition Utilities
A check mark appears next to the "Pen" menu item. This confirms that now you can write on the screen:
If you tap on "Pen", the ability to use the pen will be turned off, and your stylus will operate as if CalliGrapher is not running. When the pen is turned off, the pen image in the taskbar tray looks like this:
To turn the pen back on, just tap on the pen image.

The Two Icons Explained

By default, CalliGrapher displays only one icon on the taskbar - the pen icon. If you ever select the drawing mode, the second one - the marker icon - will be added. You can do it by selecting "ScreenDraw" in the CalliGrapher menu. Any of those may be highlighted, or none at all, like this:
Pen highlighted (Recognition mode)
Marker highlighted (ScreenDraw mode)
No highlight (CalliGrapher off)
In the Recognition mode, CalliGrapher translates your handwriting into text and pastes in into the active window. This is the mode well be discussing here.
In the ScreenDraw mode, you can just draw sketches on top of the screen. This mode will be explained later. In any mode you still can use the pen for its regular tasks. For example, double-tapping on the desktop icons or tapping on the dialog box buttons will work as usual. You can switch between modes either by tapping on the appropriate taskbar icon or by selecting the corresponding menu item from the CalliGrapher menu. Tapping on the icon of the currently selected mode turns CalliGrapher off. Tap on any CalliGrapher taskbar icon to turn it back to the desired mode. You can select "Options." from menu to set what icons are shown on a taskbar (tap on the "Icons" tab in the "Options" dialog box). In all of the following examples we assume that the pen is turned on. Now start an application such as Pocket Word. Your screen should look like this:

On the Appearance tab window, you can change the size and orientation of the mode mark, and determine whether you want it to be visible. Note that when Handwriter is selected, the mode mark options are not available. This is because Handwriter recognizes all characters as written. For example, if a lowercase e is written, a lower-case e will appear. If an upper-case E is written, an upper-case E will appear. To train Handwriter to recognize your writing style, click on the HRS Advanced tab, and select the Trainer.

Time-Outs tab

When one of the Jot buttons is selected, the Time-outs tab allows you to determine two speeds:
How long you must hold down the pen to switch from inking to text selection or drag-and-drop. How long you have to write the next stroke of a multi-stroke character. If Handwriter is selected, the following two choices are available: How long you wish to allow before recognition occurs after you finish writing. How long before the pen switches from ink to text selection or drag-and-drop.

Advanced tab

The Advanced tab provides you with three buttons:
Macro Editor: The Macro Editor lets you create shortcuts for phrases and actions. Trainer: If Jot - Character set that uses natural character shapes is selected in the General window, the Trainer allows you to customize the Natural Character Set by enabling or disabling character shapes. If Jot - Simplified uppercase characters is selected, the Trainer is disabled. If Handwriter is selected, the Trainer allows you to customize the full character set. Reset: The Rest button returns the settings of the Appearance and Time-out tabs to their default settings. The Advanced tab for Handwriter additionally allows you to enable or disable the Recognition Dictionary, and to automatically insert a space after a pause when writing complete words.

If you need troubleshooting information for Windows CE Services, click Windows CE Services Help Topics on the Help menu in the Mobile Devices folder.
System Will Not Resume Operation
If the system will not resume operation after system operation has been suspended, the battery pack may either be discharged to a critically low level or there is the much less likely possibility that the battery pack is defective. To correct this problem, either connect an external power supply (such as the AC adapter), or install a charged battery pack in the pen tablet.
Display Screen Is Blank or Difficult to Read
If the display screen on your PenCentra 200 pen tablet appears blank or is unreadable, check the following:
The backlight time-out may have expired. Tap on the display screen to reactivate the display. Note that this is a normal, power-saving feature. The system brightness may be set too low, causing the screen to appear too dark. Use the backlight brightness hotpad to adjust the screen brightness. The display contrast settings may be set to extreme high or low level causing the screen to appear blank. Try adjusting the contrast setting using the hotpads. Note that the ambient temperature will affect the display contrast. You may need to adjust the contrast periodically to compensate for changes in temperature. If the device doesnt respond when you briefly press the suspend/resume button, try holding the button down for a full second. Make sure your battery cover is locked.

4. When the charged battery pack is needed, remove the battery pack from the charger. When the battery charger is not in use, disconnect the DC power source. Operational Considerations Issues to consider when you use the FMW51BC1 battery charger are discussed as follows: You can insert up to two battery packs at a time in the battery charger. When charging two battery packs, you can insert or remove either battery pack independently. The battery charger only charges one battery pack at a time. When two battery packs are inserted in the charger, the battery pack installed first is charged first. The battery charger will indicate a full charge level and will not begin charging the battery pack if the battery pack charge level is 90% or higher when the battery pack is initially inserted in the charger. This prevents the battery pack from being overcharged. When you remove the battery pack from your pen tablet, always insert a charged battery pack in the pen tablet to replace the one that you removed, or apply DC power. The FMW51BP1, FMW29BP1, FMW29BP2, and FMW43BP2 battery packs use lithium ion battery cells which have no memory effect.You do not need to discharge or condition the battery pack before charging.
