Sharp IQ-8920, IQ-8900 manual

Q : What is the Outline application ? Why would I want to use it instead of Notebook?

A:The Outline application allows you to group and categorize information using a hierarchical structure. Everyone has a lot of small but important pieces of information that have to be memorized or kept track of in a written record, for example, important personal information: Social Security number, credit card numbers, various ID numbers, account numbers, clothing sizes, etc. Using the unit, you could make a number of Notebook entries for each piece of information, but a better way to manage the information would be to make a single Outline file called “Personal Information.” This file could then contain a number of headings (such as Car info., Travel info., Health info., Financial info., etc.), under which relevant pieces of information could be stored. This makes it easier to access information and prevents your unit from becoming cluttered with hundreds of individual entries.

Additional Outline files could also be made, including: favorite movie list, project management file, To Do lists, price lists, product line-up and specification file, business plans, product proposals, and meeting notes. Many types of information can be more easily and efficiently managed in an Outline structure.

Another use of the Outline application is document preparation. Many times you might want to write a memo, letter, proposal, marketing plan, etc., but find it difficult to write an entire document from scratch. The Outline application allows you to capture your thoughts and ideas, then rearrange and categorize them at any time. You can also copy an Outline file and paste it into the Notebook application to finish the document there, adding text to the major topics.

Q:I want to send faxes from my IQ-8900 series unit, but what do I need besides the unit itself?

A:The IQ-8900 series unit has fax software built in, but you will also need the PC fax/modem and the CE-137T level converter.

Not all PC fax/modems can be used with the IQ-8900 series unit. Contact your nearest SHARP dealer for information about compatibility and availability of the PC fax/modems. (If the CE-FM1 Fax/Modem is not available for use in your country because of the specifications of the telephone lines, ignore references to it in this manual.)
