Top Row Buttons - Alphasmart 3000 Quick Start Manual

Top Row Buttons

File 1-8 Buttons
Your AlphaSmart 3000 supports 8 files, each of which will hold
12½ pages of single spaced text or about 25 KB. This provides
a total storage capacity of 100 pages or 200,000 characters.
This file structure is intended to support multiple users or to
enable a single user to organise his or her work into chapters or
sections.
Print Button
This button is used when you wish to print the contents of a file
directly to a printer via serial or parallel printer cables. Connect
an AlphaSmart Serial or Parallel print cable to your printer,
make sure the printer is turned on and then attach the cable to
the AlphaSmart's printer socket. Then press print.
Spell Check Button
Pressing spell check will check the spelling of the contents of
the active file and offer suggestions for correction or allow the
user to edit, ignore or see the word in context. Spell check can
be disabled/enabled by pressing cmd-option-spell check and
entering the master password. You can only receive the master
password by calling Technical Support on 0870 120 0718, but
please make sure you have your registration details to hand.
Find Button
The find feature allows you to enter any character, word or
phrase (up to 16 characters long) and search for that entry in
the active file or in all 8 files simultaneously. After the text is
found continue the search by pressing cmd-G.
Clear File Button
Push this button when you wish to clear the contents of the
active file. Pressing shift-ctrl-option-cmd-clear file
simultaneously will clear all 8 files at once. If a file is
accidentally cleared, there are several options for data recovery.
