PrintBoy changes
A new version of the PrintBoy application is included with this release of Dana. The
newer version contains additional printer drivers and lets you print a greater variety of
items from within the PrintBoy application.
Before you can print anything from your Dana, you need to step through the Printer
Setup screens. Once you've done so, you can print from within an application, such as
AlphaWord, or you can print various types of documents from within PrintBoy.
A printer driver for your printer might already be installed on your Dana, however, if
not, additional printer drivers for PrintBoy were installed to your computer when you
installed the Dana Desktop software. (The drivers are also on the Dana Desktop CD.)

Description (Continued)
This new command lets you set a default font and font size for
AlphaWord files. This is a handy feature for those who are
visually impaired, because users can choose a large, legible font
as the standard font for AlphaWord files.
To use, press menu and choose Options >Default Font, then
select the font and size you want to use. When you open a new
file, text will appear in the font and size you chose.
Tip! You can install additional TrueType fonts from your
Windows computer to use in AlphaWord on your Dana. Use the
FineType Converter application on your computer (installed with
Dana Desktop software) to select and manipulate fonts, which
you then HotSync onto your Dana.
These new commands give you wireless access to files you store
on a network. The Get Text File command retrieves a text file
from a network and brings it into AlphaWord, and the Save Text
File command saves your AlphaWord file as a text file on a
network. These commands are used in conjunction with network
connections you set up in the WiFile application. See page 20 for
additional information.
