Ericsson MC 218 - Printing

33 Working with the MC 218
To transfer information:
1. Ask the other user of the other MC 218 to open the program or file where
the information is to be transferred to.
• If the information to be transferred is an entire file, ask the other user to
tap the Desktop icon and move to the folder to which the file is to be
transferred.
• If the information is a Calendar or Data entry, ask the other user to
open the appropriate Calendar or Data file.
• Otherwise, ask the other user to open the file or program to which the
selected information is to be transferred, and move the cursor to the
appropriate point in the file.
2. On the receiving MC 218, tap and select Infrared receive (or select
it on the Tools menu). The Ready to receive screen is displayed.
3. Position the two MC 218s, aligning the infrared windows on the two
machines (ideally, both should be resting on the same flat surface). The
infrared window on each MC 218 is on the outer casing to the left of the
main battery door at the back when the MC 218 is open in front of you.
Note! The machines should be no more than one meter apart.
4. On the sending machine, tap and select Infrared send (or select it on
the Tools menu). If the infrared windows are in range, the transfer begins.
Infrared screens appear on both machines to indicate that the transfer is
taking place, and the progress of the transfer is displayed.
When the transfer is complete
The infrared screens disappear, to be replaced by the original screens. There is
now a copy of the selected information or file on the receiving machine.
Note! If a file is being transferred, and the folder on the receiving machine
already contains a file of that name, then the receiving machine displays a
dialog where you can rename the received file, or move it to another folder or
disk drive.
The information on the sending machine is not affected by the transfer.
Cancelling the transfer
To stop the transfer while it is in progress, press Esc on either machine.
