EC-339 Rolodex 64K Pocket Data Directory
(650-0939) Data Transfer Faxback Doc. # 8880
ROLODEX EC-339, EC-340, EC-348 (65-939, 65-940, 65-840) Data Transfer
The catalog and manuals discuss data transfer between these three units.
However, it does not mention that the file formats are different.
On the EC-339 and the EC-340 the phone number and FAX number fields are on
the same line. On the EC-348 the fields are on separate lines.
When you transfer data between them, the Fax number will not be moved to
the next line on the EC-348. Deleting the Fax number will allow the EC-348
to transfer data with no problems.
The 650-0840 Organizer and Rolodex's comparable model will not communicate
effectively. This is because the software in Rolodex's model has been
up-dated and now inserts a comma in between two telephone numbers in an
entry. This comma does not exist in the 650-0840 organizer. The Rolodex
model will take data from the 650-0840 and if an entry has two phone
numbers, it will automatically add a comma between them. However, if the
65-0840 receives data (a two number entry from the Rolodex model with
this comma), it will lock up during data transfer and must then be reset.
The EC-348 can have only a 12-digit entry in the number field. An entry of
more than 12 digits will cause a lock up of this unit.
