155 Postcard
If your camera has a CompactFlash card, you can insert the card into the
MC 218 and then copy an image from the CompactFlash card to your
postcard, provided the image is in JPEG format. In this case you can use
images from cameras that are not IrTran-P compatible.
To insert an image from a ComapctFlash card:
Note! Make sure your MC 218 is switched off when you insert the flash card.
1. Insert the CompactFlash card into drive D on the right-hand side of your
MC 218.
2. Switch on the MC 218 and start the Postcard program.
3. Open the Postcard file where you want to insert the image.
4. Tap Insert on the toolbar on your MC 218 and select From file. The Insert
image dialog box is displayed.
5. Select D in the Disk box and select the image file you want to insert into
your postcard.
6. Tap OK to insert the image.
You can insert text from a text file into the text area of your postcard.
To insert text from a file:
1. With your postcard open, select Text from file on the Insert menu.
2. In the Open file dialog, enter name and location of the file you want to
insert text from.
3. Tap OK.
All text from the selected file is inserted into the text area of your postcard.
Note! Any formatting or images contained in the inserted text will disappear.
To use text from a file (e.g. Word) on your PC, you have to save it as plain text
before inserting it into Postcard.
When saving you can choose to save the whole postcard. Additionally, you
can save an inserted photo or image with any added freehand drawings as a
separate JPEG file. You can also save the text entered in the text area of the
postcard as a separate file. This could be useful if you want the re-use the
same image or text in more than one postcard. Saving a photo in its original
size requires up to 400 kB (at a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels). The
required memory size may also vary depending on what camera you use.
To save the complete postcard:
• With the postcard open, select More Save Postcard on the File menu.
The postcard file is saved according to the file preferences you chose when
the file was created. See the “Creating a new postcard” section.
Note! A postcard is automatically saved when the postcard is closed, when a
new postcard is created, or when you open another postcard.
