CARD FILE TRANSFER
You can transfer card file records between two 65-877s or between a 65-877
and a Cat.No. 65-939, Cat.No. 65-840, Cat.No. 65-873, or Cat.No. 65-842.
NOTES: You can transfer file records from a 65-840 or a 65-939 to your 65-
877, but you cannot transfer file records from your 65-877 to a 65-
840 or a 65-939.
For file transfer between a 65-877 and a 65-840 or a 65-939, the
spacing of the transferred information might change because the
corresponding record field lengths are not the same.
For file transfer from a 65-877 to a 65-842 only the first 55 lines
of each record can be transferred.
Your organizer's display might dim during the transfer, but it
returns to normal after you complete the transfer.
If all the characters of a record in the sending unit match those
of one in the receiving unit, the record is stored as a copy.
The following instructions refer to keys and displays on this 65-
877 organizer. The keys and displays for other organizers differ
slightly. See the owner's manuals for those organizers.
All of the file records might not transfer completely if the
receiving unit's available memory is not enough to store all of the
files from the sending unit.
If the receiving units available memory is less than 1K, NOT ENOUGH
MEMORY FOR INFRARED OPERATION appears on the display.
TRANSFERRING ALL OR NEW RECORDS
You can transfer all card file records, or just those you have added since
the last transfer.
1. Place the sending unit on the right and the receiving unit on the
left.
2. On the receiving unit, press CARD FILE, then RECEIVE.
3. On the sending unit, press CARD FILE, then SEND. The display shows:
1. A ROLODEX PRODUCT
FROM LIST "A"
2. A ROLODEX PRODUCT
FROM LIST "B"
TO CHOOSE, TYPE 1-2
NOTES: List "A" represents products that include symbol characters in
addition to the basic alphanumeric characters, and therefore
have full file transfer capability. The 65-873, 65-842, and
65-877 belong to this list.
List "B" represents products in which symbol characters are not
completely compatible with infrared transfer. When symbol
characters are transferred from a List "A" product to a List
"B" product, they appear as blank spaces on the display.
4. Press 1 to transfer to another 65-877, a 65-873, or a 65-842. Press 2
to transfer to another compatible organizer. The display shows:
TYPE "A" TO TRANSFER
ALL OF YOUR FILES
OR
TYPE "N" TO TRANSFER
YOUR NEW FILES ONLY
NOTE: To abort the transfer process, press CLOCK on the sending or
receiving unit. After the record transfer begins, pressing CLOCK
has no effect.
5. Press A to send all records or N to send only the records you have
added since the last transfer.
The records begin to transfer. FILES ARE BEING RECEIVED NOW PLEASE WAIT
A MOMENT appears on the receiving unit's display. FILE IS BEING COPIED
AND TRANSFERRED appears on the sending unit's display.
When the transfer is complete, TRANSFER SUCCESSFUL? Y/N appears on the
sending unit's display.
If FILES ARE BEING SORTED PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT appears on the receiv-
ing unit's display, press Y on the sending unit.
If FILES DID NOT TRANSFER SUCCESSFULLY PLEASE TRY AGAIN appears on the
receiving unit's display, press N on the sending unit. Be sure the
transmit and receive windows on the units are aligned, then try again.
When the sending unit display prompts to transfer all the files or new
files only, type N. This prevents duplicate files from being trans-
ferred and stored.
NOTES: If you transfer card file records that use more than 96K memory
units, SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVED UP TO: (the person's name on the
record) PRESS "R" TO CONTINUE RECEIVING REMAIN FILES OR PRESS "S"
TO SKIP appears on the receiving unit's display.
To continue, press R on the receiving unit, then repeat Steps 3-5.
(You might need to repeat this procedure several times.) To skip
the remaining files, press S.
Since up to 1K of overhead memory is required for the file transfer,
only 127K memory units of information can be transferred. So, some
card file records (up to 1K) might not transfer even after repeating
this procedure several times. NOT ENOUGH MEMORY, SOME OF THE FILES
HAVE NOT BEEN STORED appears on the receiving unit's display.
See "Entering Card File Records" above to enter the records that did
not transfer.
