Hello KissBankers,

Good news! The team is going to China tomorrow, supervising a batch for the 120 first backers. And next week, these first units will be shipped!

For the concerned people, we will send you a dedicated email to explain the next steps. Your feedback will be important for the community and for us to perfect the features. For the others, your turn is close!

We also have news from other departments:

SOFTWARE

Firmware update

Update DONE! You will now be able to update your PUP from your localization.

We have 2 possibilities to update your PUP:

1 - From the PUP Just go on the UPDATE Icon from the carrousel and launch it. Your PUP will update himself. (see the UX-UI section bellow to see how)

2 - From your computer If the first solution is not working for any reasons, you will be able to update it directly from your computer You will be able to download the update file from the internet. Once you've connected your PUP with USB, you just have to drag and drop this file on the PUP folder who just appear.

Camera

Auto exposure DONE!

Calibration: each PUP is unique and needs to be calibrated in factory. Now the calibration is driven directly from inside the Pup which makes it a lot easier and faster. It opens the door for a lot of improvements such as "continuous auto calibration" so your device would improve each time you take a picture.

PRODUCTION/SHIPPING

The production line has been installed and will start this week in our factory in Shenzhen to produce the first Pups in series. Our logistician based in Hong Kong has, meanwhile, received the list of addresses and already printed the labels to put the pups in packages as soon as they arrive at the warehouse and then forward them to their final destinations.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPPEMENT

We are implementing a new machine learning algorithm who is analyzing thousands of documents with different physical parameters (light environment, size and background material), to provide a very effective auto cropping solution.

UX/UI

--- WIFI ---

To send your document in the fastest way to your destination, you just have to connect your PUP to a Wi-Fi network. But some questions around this subject pop up on the support section.

How do I connect Wi-Fi to my PUP?

When screen is front of you, click on the top hat right button. You will access to the Wi-Fi list. On the top you'll find add icon (symbolized by a “+”)

Rqyicxcbw7bugqpvgiix-1531317780

Just click on the "+". The setting process is made fast and easy through the system of QR code reading that we implemented on the PUP.

--> For those who missed the last update here is a DEMO to see how it works (video)

Can I delete an implemented Wi-Fi connection?

If you put the wrong password or missed a letter on your Wi-Fi name when setup PUP, just swipe left or long press on the Wi-Fi name and click on the red cross to delete.

Can I put as many Wi-Fi as I want?

Yes, a hundred if you like!

No Wi-Fi?

It can happen. Don't worry the scans are saved on the PUP for all scenarios waiting a normal connection to be send.

You can still use your PUP with native PDF and JPEG scenarios. Just connect your PUP to your computer with the USB cable and discharge the files like any usb key.

--- UPDATE ---

The Update feature is ready! Let's see how to use it.

That's it! Your PUP has the last version of the OS, with new features and fixed bug. Enjoy.

Of course, you need to have a wifi network available or enough battery on your PUP to update it. If not, the PUP will show you these screens.
