Print a form or document on demand, then convert handwritten entries, notes, drawings and the form itself into a digital file for secure processing and distribution. It’s as easy as writing with a pen.

Our LED printing technology meets the exacting requirements, and offers a critical advantage for digital pen applications: it provides an extremely accurate distribution of dot patterns—which is essential for best results.

The process: digital technology made simple The "digital paper" part of the solution involves the on-demand printing—on plain office paper— of a business form template that also contains small pre-defined dot patterns. As a user writes with a digital pen over these patterns, the handwritten information is captured (or "lifted") from the paper via a tiny embedded digital camera.

  • Handwritten elements can include signatures, notes, filled-in data fields and check boxes
  • Handwritten data is "read" electronically, encrypted and stored within the digital pen’s memory, and transferred to a host PC; electronic files created by the pen can be distributed to any number of back-end, serverbased information systems
  • For real-time processing, a Bluetooth®-enabled pen sends data securely to a mobile phone or PDA which, in turn, transmits files to an electronic workflow system, saving substantial data entry and manual processing time for typical handwritten forms
  • Forms can be saved in various file formats including PDF or TIFF format, or the handwriting can be converted into electronic data, corrected for accuracy or missing information, and then integrated into a database

The Digital Pen & Paper Solution brings together superior, leading-edge technologies to increase cost savings, and preserve data accuracy and security, in a convenient way.
