28 Transferring Text to a Computer
key. You must have an application that accepts text (such as a word
processing or multimedia application) already open on the
computer, and have the cursor placed in the file where you wish to
insert the text before pressing the send key. Be sure to be within the
application and not the Finder or Desktop when you press the send
key, or you may rename your files to the text in your AlphaSmart
3000.
When connected and sending files to the computer, the
AlphaSmart 3000 screen will display a progress bar, and the
show the percent of the file that has been sent.
2. When the transfer is complete, disconnect the AlphaSmart
3000. (You may also leave the AlphaSmart 3000 connected to
the computer for use as a normal keyboard.)
You may continue to download several files while still attached to the
computer. To switch between files while the AlphaSmart 3000 is still
attached to your computer:
1. For Macs:
Press option-
x-file 1 to go to File 1, option-x-file 2 to go to File 2,
and so forth.
2. For PCs:
Press x-file 1 to go to File 1, x-file 2 to go to File 2, and so
forth. Do not press the alt/option key. Pressing the alt key on
PCs puts some word processing programs into command mode
and the file won’t transfer correctly.
3. To finish the transfer process, save the word processing file on
the computer. Once the text is saved on your computer, you can
style, format and print the file as you would with any other file
in your word processing application.
4. To erase the transferred file from the AlphaSmart 3000, press
the clear file key on the AlphaSmart 3000. The currently
displayed file will be deleted.
