PREPARATION
Prepare your workspace
Keep all magnetic objects at least 20 cm (8") away from Repaper (phones, speakers, jewellery, watches, etc.).
Be careful not to leave other iskn drawing tools near Repaper when switching it on and while you are drawing.
Be careful not to use Repaper on a metal surface (metal table or with metal parts).
💡 Front LED 2 flashes red when the magnetic environment is unstable. |
Attach a sheet of paper using the Repaper Clips
Use the markings on your Repaper tablet to place a sheet of A5 paper (half letter size) on the active area of your board.
Make sure that the paper lies flat on your Repaper's surface. Do not change the position of the sheet during use.
Secure your sheet with the Repaper Clips by sliding the clips until you hear them click.
💡 For removing the clips, lift slightly the tab while pulling the clip off. |

USE
Repaper Ring positioning
☑️ Properly slide Repaper Ring
For an optimal drawing experience and an accurate digital rendering, it is important to slide the Repaper Ring magnet properly on your drawing tool:
Slide Repaper Ring to about 3 to 4 cm (1,2”-1,6”) from the tip.
Adjust its positioning so that it is completely perpendicular to your drawing implement.
☑️ Verify the ring's position in the Repaper Studio App:
Connect Repaper to Repaper Studio, then click on "Draw".
Place your drawing tool perpendicular to Repaper, with the tip in contact with the sheet of paper (front LED 2 shines green)
Turn your drawing implement right round in order to draw a small dot on the paper. As you are doing this, be sure to keep the drawing implement perpendicular to the sheet of paper and in contact with it at a single point.
Results & verification on the screen:
If you see a dot on the screen, Repaper Ring is properly positioned. ✔️
If you see a small circle, Repaper Ring is incorrectly positioned.⚠️
This video shows you how to do it! 😉
