Psion Teklogix 32M/64M, netBook manual Selecting data to transfer, Transferring the information

Selecting data to transfer

On the machine from which information is to be transferred (the ‘sending machine’), select the information you want to transfer:

∙If the information is a file, ensure that the file is closed and highlight the filename on the System screen. Hold down the Shift key and tap additional filenames if you want to transfer more than one file.

∙If the information is an object already inserted from another program, e.g. a graph displayed in Word, just select the object. If the inserted object is displayed as an icon, you can just select the icon.

∙If the information is an Agenda or Data entry, open the appropriate file and move the cursor to the required entry.

∙If you wish to transfer a graph, highlight the cell contents in Sheet view. Graphs cannot be transferred direct from one Sheet file to another, only the cell contents. Relative and absolute cell references are preserved.

∙Otherwise, open the file from which the selected information is to be transferred, and select the required information (e.g. the piece of text, range of spreadsheet cells, sketch area).

Note: Objects can be transferred like other information. They appear as objects on the receiving machine.

Transferring the information

1.Ask the other user of the other netBook or Series 5/7 to open the program or file where the information is to be transferred to.

∙If the information to be transferred is an entire file, ask the other user to tap the System icon and move to the folder to which the file is to be transferred.

∙If the information is an Agenda or Data entry, ask the other user to open the appropriate Agenda or Data file.

∙Otherwise, ask the other user to open the file or program to which the selected information is to be transferred, and move the cursor to the appropriate point in the file.

2.On the receiving machine, tap the command icon and select the Infrared receive command (or select it from the Tools menu). The “Ready to receive” screen will be displayed.

3.Position the two machines, aligning the Infrared windows (ideally, both should be resting on the same flat surface). The Infrared window on the netBook is on the back of the machine on the right-hand side when the netBook is open in front of you. The machines should be no more than one metre apart.
