Data Transfer - Sharp Zaurus ZR-5700 Operation Manual

Data transfer

Your unit can upload (send) Documents entries in either
ASCII (text) format or using XMODEM file transfer
protocol. It can also upload Filer folders and PC Files
using XMODEM, and upload and download text and
files using either ASCII or XMODEM.
• For a Documents entry, the number of downloaded
pages is displayed as ** in Index View. Once down-
loaded, open the entry in Detail View and store it again
to display the number correctly.
• ASCII (American Standard Code for Information
Interchange) is a character set for transferring text
between different kinds of computers, so that text
entered on one computer appears in the same form on
a remote computer. ASCII has no error correction.
• XMODEM is a file transfer protocol with error correc-
tion.
When MNP is on, XMODEM cannot be used. (To
check, touch SETUP and select "Modem Setting".)
To upload or download data in Terminal mode:
1. Touch TOOLS, select Terminal and LOG ON
to the desired system.
2.
Once connected, select UP/DN.
3. Select the desired data transfer function from
the menu.
• For Upload Text (XMODEM or ASCII), a display
similar to Index View appears, showing all your
Documents entries. Select the entry to be
uploaded, and then touch Upload.
• For Upload Folder, a display similar to Filer
Drawer opens, select the folder to be uploaded,
and then touch Upload.
• Select between Main Unit or PC Card to set
download destination, then for Download, edit a
name (of up to 20 characters), enter a descrip-
tion (only in PC Files) and touch OK.
• Select Stop Download when download text
(ASCII) is completed.
4. The selected entry or folder is transferred.
Press ON at any time to cancel the upload or
download.
