Beneficiile tehnologiei ncode

1 | 3

How does ncode technology work?

There is a fine dot pattern on the edges of the LAMY digital paper notebook. The camera integrated into the LAMY safari ncode – the optoelectronic sensor – uses these dots for orientation and transmits the writing to the app via Bluetooth. If the pen is not connected to the app, it temporarily stores the information so that it can be synchronized later.

LAMY x Neo.LAB

The motivation behind the collaboration between LAMY and NeoLAB is to create a product that combines the benefits of the digital world with those of the analog world. LAMY safari ncode has achieved this. Quick notes or hand-drawn sketches on paper – the LAMY digital paper notebook makes everything quick and easy.

Reading and presentation

Remember the overhead projector? Use the LAMY safari ncode set in your presentations as an interactive and personalized way to share stuff. Open the web app on your presentation screen, smartboard, or projector, and write, sketch, and view the content you want to share with your audience!

If the tip is badly deformed, worn, or blunt on one side, it should be replaced. This, along with other factors that may not be easily visible, can affect the quality of use (writing, precision, latency, etc.). This is the right time to change the tip.

The cap provides maximum protection for the nib against external influences, at least as long as the LAMY safari ncode is not in use.

No, not at the same time. LAMY safari ncode can only be connected to one device at a time during use.

The latest and most compatible application is "NeoStudio2022" from Neolab Convergence.

The Neo Notes app is not compatible with LAMY safari ncode. The latest compatible app is NeoStudio2022 from Neolab Convergence.

The most current and compatible application is the "Neo Studio" application from Neolab Convergence. However, the packaging and user instructions were designed, produced, and assembled before the new application, "Neo Studio 2," was released.

The ncode system consists of the following:

  • "LAMY safari ncode" digital pen

  • "LAMY digital paper Notebook" diary

  • Smartphone or tablet

  • Application: "Neo Studio 2022"

Open the new diary and start writing.

Be sure to use the recommended app ("Neo Studio 2022," updated at the end of 2024) and a compatible Digital Paper diary.

Open the app; in the upper left corner, the pen icon will display a number in a white circle. Tap this icon.

Then select the "Transfer pen data" button.

In order for the LAMY safari ncode to save your notes, make sure it is turned on and that you are using a compatible Digital Paper notebook.

In addition to its function as a bookmark, by touching the tip of the LAMY safari ncode on one of the colors or line thicknesses, you can set how your writing will be transferred to the digital notebook. So, if you touch the red color and the thick line thickness, your writing will be transferred with a thick red line starting from that point. This does not affect analog writing on paper.

Ensure that the camera lens is clean. This can be done occasionally using a microfiber cloth or cotton swab.

The pen tip writes on all suitable documents. However, digital transfer of writing only works on compatible Digital Paper notebooks.

Press and hold the button on the LAMY safari ncode for at least 15 seconds. This will restart the pen.
