Customizing the MC 218 202
this folder or create new files in this folder, or you may have problems using
the MC 218 programs.
A variety of important settings for your MC 218 are set in the Control Panel.
To display the Control panel:
• In Desktop, tap Control panel on the toolbar, or select Control panel on
the Tools menu.
Initially, you should set up the Time & date, Screen, Switch on/off, and Printer
if you intend to use one. You might also like to set up owner information and a
password. You may wish to change other settings later.
Time & date is for setting the current time and date for the MC 218.
Note: Use the International settings to change the format in which times and
dates appear.
Screen is for changing the screen contrast and backlight automatic switch off,
and re-calibrating the touch sensitive screen if the MC 218 stops responding to
your pen taps.
Note! The backlight is initially set to switch off if you have not pressed a key
or tapped the screen for 1 minute. Increasing this time setting reduces the life
of the batteries.
Switch on/off is for controlling how and when the MC 218 switches on and
off. For example, you might like it to switch on when you tap the screen, and
off when you close the case.
As standard, the MC 218 switches off automatically if you do not tap the
screen or press a key for 3 minutes. This is to save battery power. You can
change this with the Automatic switch off and Switch off after settings.
Printer is for selecting the printer to print to, the page size to use and the
standard settings for Print preview in all the programs. See the “Printing”
section in the “Working with the MC 218” chapter for more details.
