. . . . .
If you increase the maximum file size, keep in mind that the total amount of
space available on a NEO remains the same, and SmartApplets such as
AlphaQuiz and their data files also take up space on the NEO. The space
required for SmartApplets affects the amount of space left for AlphaWord
Plus files. When working with large files, you might notice some performance
issues, depending on the number of SmartApplets on each NEO, the number
of files, and the size of files and data on the NEO.
Spell Check Settings
Spell Check also has its own settings that you can control through
AlphaSmart Manager:
Beamer Settings
Beamer has these settings in AlphaSmart Manager:
Setting What It Does
Disable this
SmartApplet
Prevents users from performing spell checks.
Allow Adding Words
to Dictionary
Allows users to add words to the custom user dictionary so
they are not flagged by a spell check again in the future.
Delete User
Dictionary
Deletes the custom user dictionary on all connected NEOs.
Setting What It Does
Disable this
SmartApplet
Prevents users from using the Beamer SmartApplet.
Permit Send Determines whether users are allowed to beam files to another NEO.
Warn if
Overwriting
Clipboard
When a NEO receives a beamed file, this setting determines whether
the NEO will warn the user if the incoming file is about to overwrite
what is currently in the NEO’s clipboard.
Send to Palm
Device as
AlphaWord
When a NEO beams a file to a Palm device (including Dana laptops),
this setting determines the format of the sent file. If this setting is on,
the file will be sent as an AlphaWord file. If it is off, the file will be sent
in Memo Pad format.
Require Master
Password
Determines whether the master password is required to change
Beamer settings on the NEO itself in the Control Panel. This is helpful
if you want to prevent students from changing Beamer settings,
especially if you’ve decided to turn off the Permit Send setting.
