on white. The Pen cannot scan inverse text (light text on 
dark background). 
Causes of Incorrect Scanning Results 
Sometimes the Pen may have difficulty recognizing the 
scanned words. Here are some examples of when this 
could happen: 

  When the page you are scanning is dark, dirty or 

crumpled. 

  When the printout is of low quality (for example, 

when the page has been photocopied). 

  When holding the Pen at the wrong scanning angle. 

  When scanning the text too fast (this specific 

situation will cause an error message ‘Scanned too 
fast’). 

  When scanning non-English text. Your Pen can only 

scan English! 

Solutions to Incorrect Scanning Results 

  To achieve proper scanning results you must avoid 

the situations listed above (in the Scanning 
Limitations
 and Causes of Incorrect Scanning Results 
sections). 

  When the scanning results are not satisfactory, try 

scanning again. You may get better results the next 
time! 

  When failing to recognize a word, the Pen may 

display a list of similar words in the Word Selection 
Screen
. If the list contains the word you wish to look 
up, simply select it from the list. 

Troubleshooting the Dictionary Lookup 

Even if the scanning results are identical to the text you 
scanned, you may encounter problems in the dictionary
