User Manual
• Choose whether to send to Palm OS devices in AlphaWord or Memo Pad
file format
• Choose whether to require a master password to change Beamer settings
on this NEO
If you’re an individual user using Beamer, you probably won’t need to change
your settings very often. If you’re using several NEOs and Palm OS devices in
a group setting such as a classroom, you might want more control over who
can beam data and how.
Follow these steps to change Beamer settings:
1. On your NEO, press applets.
2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor next to Beamer in the list; then,
press enter. The Beamer screen appears.
3. Move the cursor next to Settings and press enter.
4. Move the cursor next to the setting you want to change and press enter.
Since each setting has only two options, pressing enter automatically
chooses the option that isn’t currently selected.
For example, if you move the cursor next to “Permit Send: YES” and
press enter, the setting will change to “Permit Send: NO.”
There are four Beamer settings:
•Permit Send determines whether this NEO is allowed to beam to
other devices. You can choose “Yes” or “No.” If you choose “No,” the
Send option is not available on the Beamer screen. This setting is
useful if you don’t want students to beam files to each other.
• Warn if overwriting clipboard affects what happens when you are
receiving a file beamed from another device and you already have
something in your NEO clipboard. If this is set to “Yes,” NEO will ask if
you want to overwrite the clipboard before receiving the file.
• Send to Palm device as ALPHAWORD file or MEMO file
determines the format in which AlphaWord Plus files are sent to Palm
devices (such as Dana). You can send files in AlphaWord format or
Memo Pad format. Most Palm OS devices have the Memo Pad
program; AlphaWord is included on Dana and Dana Wireless devices.
Select a Beaming function:
- Send
- Receive
- Settings
You can also change
Beamer settings
using AlphaSmart
Manager. Click the Settings
tab and click Beamer in the
list on the left; then, make your
setting changes. Be sure to
send them from the Send List
tab. This is the most efficient
way to change Beamer
settings for several NEOs
connected to your computer in
a SmartOption Mobile Lab.
