Beamer Smartapplet; Adding Ir Technology To Your Computer - Alphasmart NEO User Manual

If you want to use IR

Beamer SmartApplet

Beamer SmartApplet is a SmartApplet installed on your Neo. It uses
IR technology to beam data between two AlphaSmart devices (such
as two Neos or a Neo and an AlphaSmart 3000) or between an
AlphaSmart device and a Palm OS device (such as Dana by
AlphaSmart).
Beamer doesn't let you beam between your computer and your Neo,
but it's a convenient and quick way to share AlphaWord Plus files
between two Neos. With Beamer, you can press in
ctrl-send
AlphaWord Plus to beam an AlphaWord Plus file (and to
ctrl-B
receive) from one Neo to another, provided both Neos have Beamer
installed.
For more information about Beamer, consult the Beamer User's Guide
on the AlphaSmart Manager CD.

Adding IR technology to your computer

If you want to send text using IR technology, but your computer
doesn't have built-in IR capabilities, you can purchase an IR pod from
the AlphaSmart web site.
If your printer doesn't have infrared capability, you can add this type
of functionality to it. Visit the AlphaSmart web site or contact your
printer manufacturer for information about IR printer pods.
