Managing and Archiving Paper Products
Livescribe prints notebooks, journals, and other Livescribe dot paper products for
your Pulse smartpen. There is nothing special about the composition of the paper
used for Livescribe dot paper products. However, each page of Livescribe dot paper
is printed with thousands of nearly-invisible microdots arranged in a special pattern.
Your Pulse smartpen reads these dots to determine which page you are using and
where on that page you are tapping or writing. With this information, your Pulse
smartpen can capture your notes, link audio to them, and perform other paper-based
operations.
Livescribe dot paper products sometimes re-use dot pattern. As a general rule, do
not use Livescribe dot paper products with the same dot pattern at the same time.
This prevents a potential problem that can happen when viewing your notebooks in
Livescribe Desktop: when you write in two notebooks with the same pattern, your
notes from the second notebook will be superimposed on your notes from the first
notebook when you view them in Livescribe Desktop.
Because Livescribe dot paper Products are important to working with your Pulse
smartpen, you should learn to manage and archive them.
In this section, you will learn how to:
learn the three simple steps to managing paper products
