Print4Pen
Print4Pen is software licensed to run on a desktop or a laptop computer which has access to a postscript laser printer. If you can turn a document to a PDF, and you have a Postscript laser printer handy, then you can use your Destiny digital pen with Print4Pen.
Print4Pen accesses our digital pen server over the web and requests a dot pattern license. It prints the document with a unique layer of Anoto dots for each page, ready to be used with Destiny Wireless Australia digital pen services.
Write on the paper, tick the 'send' box or dock the pen to a PC and within seconds, see the document in the Silhouette web based viewer. One can write as many times as necessary on a document, as the pattern licensed is unique and permanent until archived. The viewer will display all the combined pen strokes, or create a PDF of a page or the entire document (including the pages with not writing on it).
A secure login mechanism on the form utility web site allows each user to see only documents written with a specific group of pens or only documents printed with the licensed Print4Pen application or documents that are shared.

Example of Applications
Print4pen is ideal for sharing and storing legal documentation such as agreements and purchase orders or for sharing progress meeting notes. The full potential of the product is exercised when the paper is used in the field and the hand written notes need to come back to the office quickly. An example hereunder is showing Middle Harbour Yacht Club in Sydney using digital pens to record sailing races from the finish lines. The results are quickly processed by the regatta office on land , giving more time to the boat crews for managing the geometry of the courses.
