Routing and Communications
Routing Outgoing Items 7-15
Recipient Pickers 7
The kind of recipient information displayed in the center of a routing slip
envelope depends on the kind of transport involved. For printing, the
recipient is the model or name of the printer to use. For faxing or e-mail, the
recipient is a name and fax number or e-mail address taken from the Names
File. For beaming, the recipient is any device with a compatible infrared port.
Print, fax, and e-mail transports should display the name of the recipient as a
picker label. A user can tap the name to pop up a People picker in which to
select different recipients. The built-in beam transport does not need to
specify a particular recipient; it displays a generic recipient that a user does
not change. For a description of People pickers, see “People Picker” on
page 4-27.
Choosing a Printer 7
When a user taps the printer named in the center of a print routing slip, a list
picker pops up. The picker lists printers that a user has recently chosen, along
with items that allow the user to choose a different printer. The user can
choose to select a network printer or other printer. If a user chooses to select
a network printer and is connected to a network, the system displays a list of
printers it finds on the network. If the user chooses to select a non-network
printer, the system displays a list of printers for which driver software is
installed on the Newton device. Figure 7-10 illustrates the process of choosing
a printer.
