Q: What does PC card mean?
Can I use any PC card I find on the market
on my ZR-5700/ZR-5800?
A:
PC card (formally "PCMCIA") is an industry
standard card format. Many popular PC cards
available on the market are compatible with your
ZR-5700/ZR-5800. Check with your Sharp dealer
for more information, or call our automated fax-on-
demand service (612-397-8601) to obtain a
complete and up-to-date list of
ZR-5700/ZR-5800 compatible PC cards.
Warning
Use only recommended PC cards. Attempt to use cards
that are not recommended may result in damage to the
main unit and/or data loss.
Memory cards:
In general, you will find that you can use most
SRAM memory cards and Flash Memory cards.
You can use SRAM cards for additional memory
storage (for the built-in application's data) or for
making a single complete backup of that data. In
addition, you can load add-on software programs
onto a memory card. Flash Memory cards can be
used to store multiple archives of the built-in
application data (for backup purposes) as well as
for loading add-on software programs. Flash

Memory cards are good for backups because you
can make multiple backups (space permitting) and
they are more reliable than SRAM cards (they
require no backup battery).
Communication cards, etc.:
Sharp has provided a number of drivers for many
of the input/output cards. Note that certain high
power cards require that you use the EA-23E AC
adaptor in conjunction with these cards in order to
prevent excessive battery consumption. Other
cards require an add-on software program to be
loaded onto the ZR-5700/ZR-5800.
Q: I am using the CE-FM4 attachable Fax/
modem for my ZR-5700/ZR-5800. Exactly
where can I fax from?
A:
You can use virtually any standard phone line. This
includes a jack on:
• The wall of your home or office
• New public pay phones found at hotels, airports,
convention centers, etc.
• Many hotel room phones (commonly labeled
"Data jack")
• GTE and AT&T air phones found on many
commercial jets.
