B EAMING F ILES TO AND FROM NEO S
Beamer is a SmartApplet that lets NEO send text wirelessly to and from
another NEO. Beamer uses IrDA technology to transfer information in
seconds, without the use of cables, cords, or networks. The Beamer
SmartApplet is installed on your NEO when you receive it.
You will find the NEO infrared port
A on the back of the NEO:
Beaming Files Between NEOs in AlphaWord Plus
If you have the Beamer SmartApplet, you don’t have to have it open to beam
AlphaWord Plus files from one NEO to another. You can use commands to
send and receive files right within AlphaWord Plus. See “Sending (Beaming)
Files to Other NEOs” on page 61.
Beamer and the NEO Clipboard
Beamer uses the clipboard to receive data before placing it into a SmartApplet
such as AlphaWord Plus. If you already have data in the clipboard, Beamer
will warn you before receiving a beam. This gives you a chance to save the
data on the clipboard in another file before you agree to receive the beam.
For example, text that you have copied from AlphaWord Plus may be in the
clipboard, and you may not have copied it into another file yet. The warning
gives you the chance to do this before overwriting the clipboard with the
beamed information.
If you’re beaming frequently, you might not want to be warned about
clipboard data each time. In this case, you would turn this setting off in the
Beamer settings (see “Changing Beamer Settings” on page 204).
