Q & A

Q:Can I make entries on my TM-20 and send them to my PC and then edit them using the Address Utility?

A: No. You can only send data from your PC to your TM-20.

Q:If I turn off my PC with data remaining in the Waiting field, will the data be kept?

A:Yes. Data remaining in the Waiting field will not be lost if you turn off your PC. When you restart your PC, you will see the data remaining in the Waiting field, and you can continue data entry or data transfer.

Any entries in the Address Entry fields will, however, be lost if you turn off your PC.

Q:Even when I select [Auto Detect] on the COM Port setting window, an error message appears and no COM Port is selected. What should I do?

A:If you are using a notebook PC, check BIOS and set the port to the serial port.There are cases when a port cannot be selected automatically even if BIOS is set correctly. In such a case, you must select an available port manually.
