AP-701x - Acceptance testing of your newly received pens

All Anoto pens are sold with a standard 1 year manufacturer warranty. If you are experiencing any issues with your pens during the first year, please follow our troubleshooting instructions & get in touch with our Support team who will be able to provide you with further assistance (if required), attaching all relevant documents to support your claim, i.e. STF2-file retrieved from pen & a physical picture of the AP-701 Test Form.

Some customers/partners might only be placing their newly purchased pens into storage initially (as stock), before supplying their customers with it at a later date. However, it is very important to perform 'acceptance testing' of any new electronic product you've purchased, in order to verify that everything is functioning as expected, especially in the latter 'storage' example.

Acceptance Test

Prerequisites

Have a copy of our AP-701 Test Form printed out via a color laser printer (that supports PostScript & 600dpi minimum) - the reason in using this specific form for testing is because it has pattern on it that won't activate the pen's license and is purely used for testing purposes
TIP: It is advised to download and print out the form via Adobe, rather than from the web browser
Download and install our Pen Fleet Manager client for Windows
Download and install our latest Pen Browser application (if you don't have it, please get in touch with our Support-team to request it)
Ensure that...
i) all Anoto applications, using the WCF (.NET) PenAccessFramework (or PAF, for short) service have been uninstalled (the only PAF that should be visible under SERVICES is: 'Anoto Pen Access Framework Cpp windows service') or
ii) keep all your other Anoto applications installed but Stop the WCF (.NET) PAF service and ensure that the Cpp PAF service is Running
