Troubleshooting
I can’t see the floating C-Pen window
You may have to activate the input menu. This is normally done automatically, but you can do it
manually like this:
-
Go to “System Preferences” + “International” + “Input Menu” (OS X 10.5)
(On OS X 10.6. go to “System Preferences“ + “Language & Text”, “Input Sources”)
- Select the C-Pen check box.
- A national flag should now appear in the toolbar at the top of the screen.
- Select C-Pen as input device from there.
The scanned text does not appear in the text editor.

How do I uninstall the MAC Beta?
To manually remove the MAC Beta, you should erase the following files:
/Library/Frameworks/CPen20.framework
/Library/Input Methods/CPen20.app
/Library/PreferencePanes/C-Pen 20.prefPane
/Library/Components/C-Pen 20 Input Method.component
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cpen.CPen20Startup.plist
Some of these files may be in use and will therefore not be erased. But drag them to the Recycle Bin
and restart the computer before emptying the Recycle Bin.
(You need to have administrative privilegies to be allowed to erase most of these files.)
