QuickLink Desktop Functions

By default, the Desktop is online. To toggle Pen communi-

cations off, select Turn Pen Communications Off from the

Pen Communications menu or the toolbar, or from the

Desktop icon menu. The option toggles to Turn Pen

Communications On.

When the Desktop is offline, select Turn Pen Communica-

tions On to toggle Pen communications back on.

Note: When Pen communications are enabled, the serial

port you specified in the communications settings on the

Desktop is busy; you cannot use the port for any other

purpose.

Communications Settings

The communications settings define the type of communica-

tions you are using (serial port or infrared), the serial port

on the computer to which the QuickLink communications

cable or infrared device is connected, and the baud rate (the

speed at which the data is transmitted) or the type of

infrared (IR) driver.

Communications settings must be defined on both the

QuickLink Pen and the Desktop, and they must be the same

on both. If you change the communications type (serial port

or infrared), the IR driver, or the baud rate, you must redefine

the communications settings on both the Desktop and Pen.

The Communications Wizard

If you have successfully run the Communications Wizard,

the communications settings should be defined correctly.

The wizard is normally run by the Customization Wizard

after installation (see p. 23), but you can run it at any time
