You can change these system settings for NEOs using AlphaSmart Manager:
Setting
Startup Lets you designate which SmartApplet starts automatically
SmartApplet when you turn on your NEO. If you don't set a startup
SmartApplet, NEO will go to the SmartApplets list instead.
Auto Repeat Sets whether keys repeat when held down. The delay before
keys repeat is affected by the Slow Keys setting. If the Slow
Keys setting is greater than one second, then that delay also
determines how long NEO waits before repeating a key that is
held down.
Sticky Keys Sets whether you must hold keys down together for keyboard
commands or whether you can press them sequentially. For
example, to copy text, you would normally select it and then
press ctrl and C at the same time. However, if the sticky keys
setting is on, you could select the text, press ctrl and let go,
and then press C. This is useful for those who have difficulty
pressing more than one key at the same time. The sticky keys
setting affects key combinations that include the shift, option,
z, or ctrl keys.
Keyboard Lets you select alternate keyboard layouts (such as Dvorak).
Layout For more about the keyboard layouts available, see page 50.
Idle Time Sets the length of time that a NEO can be idle before turning
off automatically (4–59 minutes). Choose a number between 4
and 59 minutes.
Slow Keys and Sets a time delay for holding down a key before the character
Slow Key Delay appears on the screen. This is useful for those who have
difficulty typing to ensure that brief accidental key presses
aren't recorded.
Reset System Sets your NEO to the four-line fixed-width system font instead
Font to Default of another font size you've chosen. The font sizes that are
available are:
• System (a fixed-width font, 4 lines per screen)
• Small (6 lines per screen)
• Medium (5 lines per screen)
• Large (4 lines per screen, but the font is proportional instead
of fixed-width like the System font)
• Very Large (3 lines per screen)
• Extra Large (2 lines per screen)
