3. Transferring Data
There are several ways to transfer information, entire entries, or files
between the Organizer and other information processing devices, in-
cluding personal computers and other SHARP Organizers. In this
way, you can backup your information to guard against ‘losing it, or
copy information so that you or someone else can work with it on
another device. A summary of transfer devices, transferable data, and
tasks a transfer device is most. suited to is pe in the table

Transfer between 9000 Series Organizers
Data can transferred directly between two 9000 Series Organizers via
the infrared port. Single entries or all the entries in an application can
be transferred in the Schedule, To Do, Ann, Notebook, Outline,
and Scrapbook applications; and single entries or all the entries in a
file can be transferred in the Tel and User File applications. Using the
Filer, a group of entries from different applications can also be trans-
ferred.
The transfer procedure differs according to whether single entries,
complete files, or folders are to be transferred.
* ‘Press [ON] at any time to cancel a transfer.
* After a transfer, the display returns to the application being used
before the transfer procedure was begun.
* Received data is stored and appended to the existing data of the
selected application. After a transfer with [GET] and. , the
data is also automatically assigned to.the IN folder of the Filer
application so that.you can check it after transfer. If is therefore
recommended that you always keep the IN folder empty.
¢ .lfa RAM card is installed, applications.on it can also be selected to
transfer data to or from.
* Jn the Tel or User File applications, the contents of fields that are
not set up in the receiving file cannot be transferred. Also, if the
type of a field (text or picture) is different in the two Organizers, it
cannot be transferred.
* No peripheral devices. are required-to transfers. are easily affected
by ambient conditions which may interfere with this type of trans-
fer. Connecting the two Organizers with the optional CE-315L
cable will ensure a more reliable transfer.
Initial set-up
There is no special hardware set-up involved in infrared transfers.
And if you only want to transfer single entries or single Filer tolders
using and [SEND], there is no software set-up either: all you
have to do is set up the units properly (step 4 below). For all other
infrared transfers, follow the procedure below.
1. Press [2nd] [PERIPHERALS] on both units to open the
PERIPHERALS menu.
2, Select SET UNIT TO UNIT PATH.
A submenu opens. -
“9 =
OZ~9600 a
1Q-9200 '
3. Select VIA INFRARED PORT.
4. Place the two units so that their infrared psd are in line and
within 80 cm of each other..
* When transferring entire applications or files, or entries marked as
secret, both Organizers must be unlocked.
¢ Although infrared transfer requires no special iaraware; it is easily
affected by ambient conditions and other factors such as external
light, undercharged batteries, large transfer distance, transfer
angle, etc. As.a result, while infrared transfer is in itself, quite easy,
there is considerable scope for errors, failure to transfer data and
incomplete data transfer (missing data). It is therefore recom-
mended that you confirm the received cg after an pHiaied trans-
fer. :
¢ Avoid direct sunlight.
¢ Keep the infrared port clean with a soft, dry cloth. Dust on the port
will make transfer. difficult.
Transferring single entries
Single entries can be transferred in all applications.
1.. Turn-on both Organizers.
2. On the sending unit, select the entry you want to send in the index
mode or display it in the View mode. ~
3. Press on the receiving unit.
4. Press |SEND| on the sending unit.
The selected entry is transferred and SPpeIe! to data in the
appropriate application. :
You can also transfer single entries using UNIT TO UNIT TRANS-
FER in the PERIPHERALS menu. In step 3, after opening the .
same application as on the sending unit, select GET DATA (AP-
PEND) on the. receiving unit. Then; in bstep 4: select SEND
SELECTED ENTRY on the sending unit.
Transferring all entries in.an application
With the exception of the Tel and User File applications; all entries in
all applications can.be transferred. In the Tel and User File, all
entries in individual files ca be transferred.
1. Turn on both Organizers.
2. Open the same application on each.
If you are in the Tel or User File ‘Application, also pclae the file.
3. On the receiving unit,
* Press [2nd] [PERIPHERALS |
