Writing Notes Only (Without Recording Audio)

  1. Press the power button to start your smartpen.
  2. If needed, remove the smartpen cap. If you are using a new ink cartridge, you may need to remove possibly the small protective plastic coating from your ink cartridge tip. All new ink cartridges have this coating to prevent the ink from drying up.
  3. Begin writing on any Livescribe Dot Paper product, such as a Livescribe notebook, journal, or flip notepad. As long as the smartpen is on, it captures your handwritten notes and drawings. When you dock your smartpen to your computer, your notes transfer to Livescribe Desktop.
