Transfer Speed Sets the rate at which text is transferred to your computer
when a NEO is connected to the computer with a USB cable.
You may need to change the transfer speed if text is missing or
jumbled when you send files. These settings are available:
• Very Slow: This is the slowest speed. It is compatible with
all computers and programs, and it’s especially
recommended for programs that use graphics heavily.
• Slow: This setting is compatible with all computers and
most programs.
• Fast: This the default speed. It usually works well with most
computers.
• Fastest: This setting provides the quickest transfers, but
some word processing programs may experience some data
loss when files are transferred using this speed. If you decide
to try this speed, experiment to make sure it works for your
programs.
IR Transfer
Speed
Sets the rate at which text is transferred to your computer
when NEO is beaming to the computer. As with the cable
transfer speed, you may need to change this setting if you
notice missing or jumbled characters when you beam files to
your computer. These settings are available:
• Fastest speed: This setting provides the quickest IR
transfers. However, some programs may experience some
data loss when files are transferred using this mode.
• Compatibility speed: This setting is compatible with all
computers and most programs.
Master
Password
Lets you set a new master password for your NEO(s). The
master password is required when you make certain changes
on the NEO itself, such as enabling or disabling SmartApplets,
changing spell check settings, enabling file passwords for
AlphaWord Plus, changing or resetting those file passwords, or
changing teacher options in KeyWords. If you have enabled
filed passwords for AlphaWord Plus, you can also use the
master password as a substitute for any AlphaWord Plus file
password.
Printer
Selection
Doesn’t apply to NEO, but is provided for compatibility with
other AlphaSmart devices.
Two Button On
Mode
Lets you specify that two keys must be pressed at the same
time—enter and on/off—to turn your NEO on. When this
mode is on, pressing on/off alone does not turn the NEO on.
This helps prevent NEO from being turned on accidentally if
the on/off key is bumped.
