Comparing Connectors

While the general pattern for Connector use is the same, each Connector requires specific information to accomplish its job.

You specify most of this information during configuration of a Connector. Other information you specify in the shortcut definition or from the Livescribe Connect smartpen app. If the same information type is specified in multiple places, priority goes like this: Shortcut definition overrides Connector configuration, and smartpen overrides them all.
