Using Graffiti® writing to enter data

This section describes the procedures for creating letters, numbers, punctuations, and symbols, and teaches you some Graffiti ® tips and tricks.

What is Graffiti writing?

Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character you can type on a standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely resemble the upper case letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn.

(Graffiti writing examples

A, B, C, D, E)

Entering characters with a single stroke

Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your CLIÉ handheld recognizes and displays the text character immediately.

To allow you to write an entire character with a single stroke, some Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet equivalents.

The dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke

Certain characters have similar shapes, but different beginning and end points. Always begin the stroke from the dot.

Start stroke from dot Lift stylus here

Note

You need not create the dot; it is only there to show you where to begin the stroke.

The area for writing letters and numbers are different

The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: one for writing the letters of the alphabet and one for writing numbers. The small marks at the top and bottom of the Graffiti writing area separate the two areas.

Entering characters with Graffiti

1 Tap the Date Book icon on the Application Launcher screen. Date Book starts. Today's schedule is displayed.
2 Tap the time line in the Date Book screen.
3 Use the tables on the previous pages to find the stroke shape for the letter you want to create. There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For those letters, choose the one that is easier for you. You use the same shape to create both the upper case and lower case version of a letter.
4 Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing area. Start your stroke at the dot and draw the stoke shape as it appears in the tables.

Position the stylus a 1

Continued on next page

5 Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.

When you lift the stylus from the screen, your CLIÉ handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the letter at the insertion point on the screen.

As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you want to write.

Note

You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do not make Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your CLIÉ handheld does not recognize them as text characters.

Notes on writing Graffiti characters

  • Recognition accuracy improves when you write large characters. You should draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.
  • Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate recognition errors.
  • Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the sides of the Graffiti writing area.

Using Navigation stroke and shortcuts

You can navigate within the fields of your application and also quickly enter symbols that are frequently used, by entering the navigation strokes and shortcuts with Graffiti.

Using navigation strokes

Move cursor right
Move cursor left
You can copy or delete data(The features you can select vary depending on settings.)
Go to the previous field (Address Book only)
Go to the next field (Address Book only)
Open Address Record (Address Book only)

Using Shortcuts

There are four types of Graffiti Shortcuts.

To use a Shortcut, draw the Shortcut stroke ♡ followed by the Shortcut characters.

When you draw the Shortcut stroke, the Shortcut symbol appears at the insertion point to show that you are in Shortcut mode.

The following are the Graffiti Shortcuts that are registered in your CLIÉ handheld:

Date stamp ds Breakfast br

Time stamp ts Lunch lu

For example, when you enter the dts using the Graffiti Shortcut, you can enter the current date and time.

λ → b → 7 → S

Non-ASCII Characters for Log in Scripts

The following information enables you to create custom log in scripts that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom log in script.

Use of ^char

You may use the caret (^) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^char, and the ASCII value of character is between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31.

For example, M is converted to a carriage return.

If character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If character is any other value, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing. For example, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.

Carriage return and line feed

You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the log in script, when they are entered in the following format.

  • < cr>: Sends or receives a carriage return
  • < If>: Sends or receives a line feed

For example, the string “waitfor Joe” waits to receive Joe followed by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer before executing the next command in the script.

Literal characters

The backslash () character defines that the next character is transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarily associated with that character.

Examples:

  • \^ : Includes a caret as part of the string
  • \< : Includes a < as part of the string
  • \ : Includes a backslash as part of the string

Using "Memory Stick®" media

This chapter explains how to communicate with another Palm OS® PDA device via “Memory Stick” media, how to handle “Memory Stick” media, and how to use the CLIE Files application for managing the data in “Memory Stick” media.

Using "Memory Stick®" media .....119

Exchanging data via "Memory Stick" media .. 128

What is "Memory Stick" media?

“Memory Stick” media is a new, compact, and portable Integrated Circuit recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” media is specially designed for exchanging and sharing data among “Memory Stick” media compatible products, such as a digital video camera. Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” media can also be used for external data storage.

“Memory Stick” media enables you to exchange data between your CLIÉ handheld and computer. To exchange data via “Memory Stick” media, your CLIÉ handheld uses the supplied CLIÉ Files application.

Types of "Memory Stick" media

There are two types of “Memory Stick” media:

  • “MagicGate Memory Stick” media, which is equipped with “MagicGate” copyright protection technology.
  • “Memory Stick” media, which is not equipped with “MagicGate” copyright protection technology.

You can use both types of “Memory Stick” media with your CLIÉ handheld. However, to play ATRAC3 format files, make sure to use “MagicGate Memory Stick” media.

What is MagicGate?

MagicGate is the copyright protection technology that is utilized for “MagicGate Memory Stick” media or MagicGate compatible devices such as a CLIÉ handheld. MagicGate certifies the device and “MagicGate Memory Stick” media as copyright-protection-compatible devices and encodes data to be played back on devices. The copyrighted data cannot be played back on a device not certificated.

Note on using "MagicGate Memory Stick" media

Do not handle copyright-protected files or directories stored in “MagicGate Memory Stick” media with the CLIE Files application or Windows® Explorer, the file may be disabled. To handle copyright-protected files, use a “MagicGate” compliant application such as the SonicStage software.

Inserting and removing a “Memory Stick” media

Insert a "Memory Stick" media into the "Memory Stick" slot.

The "Memory Stick" LED blinks in orange while your CLIÉ handheld is accessing "Memory Stick" media

While the power of your CLIÉ handheld is on, the applications in the “Memory Stick” media will be displayed on the Application Launcher screen automatically if you insert the “Memory Stick” media into the slot. (The feature does not work when certain application is running.)

Notes

  • Insert a “Memory Stick” media in the right direction. If “Memory Stick” media is forced in the wrong direction, it may be damaged.
  • Do not insert a “Memory Stick” media into the place other than the “Memory Stick” slot.

To remove "Memory Stick" media

Make sure that your CLIÉ handheld is not writing to or reading data from “Memory Stick” media. Push the “Memory Stick” media gently into the slot to release it. When the “Memory Stick” media has popped out, pick it out from the slot.

Using data with another Sony CLIÉ™ Handheld

Notes

  • You cannot transfer data from another CLIÉ handheld with the Memory Stick Backup application.
  • Some third-party applications may operate only on your old CLIÉ handheld. For details, contact the application manufacturer.

Transferring data using the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software

For the data of the basic Palm OS ® applications such as Address Book, Memo Pad, To Do List, and Date Book, you can use the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software to transfer data from your old CLIÉ handheld to new CLIÉ handheld by exporting and importing data.

Before you start transferring data, you need to perform a HotSync ® operation between your previous CLIÉ handheld and the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software for your new CLIÉ handheld using a new user name you have never used. After performing a HotSync ® operation following “Exchanging and updating data using a HotSync ® operation” on page 58, follow the steps below.

1 Double click the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ icon on your Windows desktop.
You can also click Start, Programs (All Programs for Windows XP), Sony Handheld, and Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ in Windows.
The Palm TM Desktop for CLIÉ software starts.

2 Click the user name of your previous CLIÉ handheld from the User name list at the upper right of the screen.

Tip

If you have never performed a HotSync ® operation with your new CLIÉ handheld, select Users from the Tools menu. Click New in the Users screen and enter a new user name.

Then select the user name you just entered.

8 Click Import, from the File menu.

Do not perform a HotSync® operation with the same user name in other CLIÉ handhelds

If a HotSync ® operation between your new CLIÉ handheld and the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software for your old CLIÉ handheld is performed with the user name that has been being used, the setting information that are specific to the old CLIÉ handheld will be transferred with the data and some problems may arise. If you try performing a HotSync ® operation in the same way with your old CLIÉ handheld, problem may also arise. Do not transfer data by this method.

The screen to select the user name is displayed when performing a HotSync® operation in your CLIÉ handheld

Please enter a name that is different from the user name of the CLIÉ handheld that is being used. If the same user name is used, the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software will not recognize your CLIÉ handheld properly and the data of the respective models will be mixed or deleted.

Moreover, if you copy UnsavedPreference from another CLIÉ handheld to your CLIÉ handheld, you will not be able to manage your CLIÉ handheld with another name since the user name is also copied.

Note on performing a HotSync ® operation in another CLIÉ handheld

When using another CLIÉ handheld, install (Over write) Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software that is supplied with the newly purchased CLIÉ handheld without deleting the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software that is being used, from your computer.
