Livescribe
When using a Livescribe Dot Paper product, follow these guidelines.
Do not start a new notebook without checking whether you are already using one with the same dot pattern (same type and number) . If you use two notebooks with the same dot pattern, the smartpen cannot tell the two notebooks apart and will combine the notes and audio. The results will be very confusing.
If you need to use a new notebook with the same dot pattern as an existing one, first archive the one you have already used. Be aware that archiving cannot be undone. Please read about archiving first.
When purchasing Livescribe notebooks, buy notebooks that have different numbers than the ones you are currently using.
