Using Graffiti® writing to enter data

This section describes the procedure for creating letters, numbers, punctuation and symbols by Graffiti® writing, and teaches you some Graffiti® tips and tricks.

What is Graffiti® writing?

Most people find that 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.

A B C D E (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.

The dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke

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

Lift the stylus here Begin the stroke from dot

Note

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

The area for writing characters and numbers are different

The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: the left side of the Graffiti writing area is for writing the characters and the right side for writing numbers. The small marks at the top and bottom of the Graffiti writing area separate the two areas.

Writing accented characters and non-English characters

To write accented characters, draw the stroke normally used to write the letter, followed by an accent stroke. Graffiti writing then adds the accent to the letter.

To write "é," for example, draw and then.

àèìòùáéíóúý
âêîôûãõñN
äïöüÿå

Note

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

Notes on entering Graffiti® writing

  • Recognition accuracy improves when you draw your strokes that nearly fill in the Graffiti writing area.
  • Draw your strokes at natural speed. Drawing too slowly may generate recognition errors.
  • Do not draw your strokes on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the vertical lines of the Graffiti writing area.

Using Navigation strokes and shortcuts

You can navigate operations within the fields of your applications, such as moving the cursor or quickly entering frequently-used symbols, by using the navigation strokes and shortcuts of Graffiti writing.

Using Navigation strokes

Notes

  • Although this field can contain multiple lines of text, only two lines appear on the screen.
  • Most dial-in servers do not accept spaces in the user name.

Entering a password

The Password box identifies a password you use to log into your server or ISP. Your entry in this field determines whether your CLIÉ handheld prompts you to enter a password each time you log into your network:

  • If you do not enter a password, your CLIÉ handheld displays the word "Prompt" in this field and asks you to enter a password during the log-in procedure.
  • If you enter a password, your CLIÉ handheld displays the word "Assigned" in this field and does not prompt you to enter a password during the log-in procedure.

Note

If you are concerned about security, select the Prompt option and do not enter a password.

1. On the Network Preferences screen, tap the Password field. 2. Enter a password you use to log into your server. 3. Tap OK. The Password field updates to display the word "Assigned".

Selecting a connection

Adding telephone settings

When you select the Phone field, your CLIÉ handheld opens a screen in which you define the telephone number you use to connect with your ISP or dial-in server. In addition, you can also define a prefix, disable Call Waiting, and give special instructions for using a calling card.

Note

The Phone Setup screen works correctly for AT&T and Sprint long-distance services. However, because MCI works differently, MCI customers need to put the calling card number in the Phone # field and the phone number in the Use calling card field.

1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap the Phone field. The Phone Setup screen is displayed.

2 Enter the phone number for your ISP or dial-in server in the Phone # field.

3 Change the following settings if necessary:

① Enter the telephone number used to access the modem. If necessary, enter a dial prefix (such as “9”) to access an outside line, and select the Dial prefix check box. You can enter a comma in the field to introduce a “pause” in the dialing sequence. Each comma equals a two second pause. ② If the phone line you are using for your CLIÉ handheld has Call Waiting, select the Disable call waiting check box to avoid an interruption during the modem HotSync® operation.

Continued on next page

Note

Each telephone company assigns a code to disable Call Waiting. Contact your local telephone company for the code that you need.

③ If you want to use a calling card to place the call, select the Use calling card check box and enter the calling card number.

Tip

There is usually a delay before you enter your calling card number. Consequently, add at least three commas before your calling card number to compensate for the delay.

4 Tap OK.

Adding detailed information to a service template

When you are using one of the predefined service templates, you probably need to enter your user name and telephone number only. When you are creating a new service template, you may need to provide additional information to your ISP or dial-in server. Use the Details screen to add additional information to a selected service template.

To select a connection type

1 On the Network Preferences screen, tap Details.

The Details screen is displayed.

2 Tap the arrow ▼ next to Connection type and select one of the following connection types.

  • PPP: Point-to-Point Protocol • SLIP: Serial Line Internet Protocol

Creating Log-in Scripts

A log-in script is a series of commands that automates logging in to a network server, such as your corporate network or your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

You can also use non-ASCII characters or literal characters for log-in scripts.

For details, refer to “Non-ASCII Characters for Log-in Scripts” on page 82.

When the command requires additional information, a field appears to the right of it for you to enter the information.

Wait For Tells your CLIÉ handheld to wait for specific characters from the TCP/IP server before executing the next command.

Wait For Prompt Detects a challenge-response prompt coming from the server and displays the dynamically generated challenge value. It then enters the challenge value into your token card, which in turn generates a response value for you to enter on your CLIÉ handheld. This command takes two arguments, separated by a vertical bar (l) on the input line.

Send Transmits specific characters to the TCP/IP server to which you are connecting.

Send CR Transmits a carriage return or LF character to the TCP/IP server to which you are connecting.

Send User ID Transmits the User ID information entered in the User ID field of the Network Preferences screen.

Continued on next page

Send Password Transmits the password entered in the Password field of the Network Preferences screen. If you did not enter a password, this command prompts you to enter one. The Password command is usually followed by a Send CR command.
Delay Tells your CLIÉ handheld to wait a specific number of seconds before executing the next command in the log-in script.
Get IP Reads an IP address and uses it as the IP address for your CLIÉ handheld. This command is used with SLIP connections.
Prompt Opens a dialog box and prompts you to enter text of some kind (for example, a password or a security code).
End Identifies the last line in the log-in script.

The Details screen is displayed.

6 Tap OK.

The Network Preferences screen is displayed.

Non-ASCII Characters for Log-in Scripts

The following information enables you to create a custom log-in script that requires 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 the 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 the character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If the 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
  • <lf>: 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 Memory Stick Gate for managing data on “Memory Stick” media.

Using "Memory Stick®" media .....108

Exchanging data via "Memory Stick" media . . 117

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, etc. 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 your computer. To exchange data via “Memory Stick” media, your CLIÉ handheld uses Memory Stick Gate.

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, make sure to use “MagicGate Memory Stick” media when you want to play ATRAC3 format files.

What is MagicGate?

MagicGate is the copyright protection technology that is used 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 that is not certificated.

Note on using "MagicGate Memory Stick" media

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

Inserting and removing "Memory Stick" media

Insert "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 your CLIÉ handheld is turned on, the applications on "Memory Stick" media will be displayed on the Application Launcher screen automatically if you insert "Memory Stick" media into the slot. (This feature does not work when a certain application is running.)

Notes

  • Insert "Memory Stick" media in the correct direction. If it is forced in the wrong direction, it may be damaged.
  • Do not attempt to insert "Memory Stick" media into any 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 "Memory Stick" media gently into the slot and release it. When "Memory Stick" media has popped out, pick it out from the slot.

Push "Memory Stick" media in. Pull "Memory Stick" media out.

Notes on using "Memory Stick" media

When you use "Memory Stick" media, follow the precautions below.

  • Avoid touching the terminals of "Memory Stick" media or touching them with a metal object.
  • Do not drop, bend, or expose "Memory Stick" media to external shock.
  • Do not disassemble or modify "Memory Stick" media.
  • Avoid getting "Memory Stick" media wet.
  • Avoid using or storing “Memory Stick” media in a location subject to:

– extremely high temperature such as inside of a hot car, the outdoors exposed to direct sunlight, or near a heater – direct sunlight – high humidity – corrosive substances – excessive dust – magnetic fields

  • When storing and carrying “Memory Stick” media, keep it in its original case to ensure protection of important data.
  • Make a backup of important data.
  • Avoid removing “Memory Stick” media from the “Memory Stick” slot while data is still being written or read. • To avoid damaging or erasing data, do not

– pull out “Memory Stick” media or unplug the AC power adapter while formatting, or reading or writing data. – use “Memory Stick” media in a location subject to static electricity or electrical interference.

Transferring data with another Sony CLIÉ™ handheld

This chapter explains how to transfer data from your CLIÉ handheld to another CLIÉ handheld.

Transferring data with another Sony CLIÉ™ handheld 163

Transferring data using the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software 163

Transferring data with another Sony CLIÉ™ handheld

Notes

  • You cannot transfer data from another CLIÉ handheld with Memory Stick Backup.
  • You cannot transfer applications that you installed. You need to reinstall them in your CLIÉ handheld.
  • 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 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 your new CLIÉ handheld by exporting and importing data.

Before you start transferring data, you need to perform the 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 the HotSync® operation following “Exchanging and updating data using the HotSync® operation” on page 45, follow the steps below.

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

2 Click the user name of your previous CLIÉ handheld from the User selector in the upper right corner of the screen.

3 Click the icon of an application you want to copy.

4 Click Export from the File menu.

5 Enter the file name and click Export.

The data on your old CLIÉ handheld is exported.

Change the location to save the application as needed.

Continued on next page

6 Repeat step 3 through 5 to export data of other applications.

7 Click the user name of your new CLIÉ handheld from the User selector in the upper right corner of the screen.

Tip

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

Then select the user name you just entered.

8 Click Import from the File menu.

9 Select the files you have exported in step 3 through 6 and click Import.

10 Perform the HotSync® operation.

The data exported from your old CLIÉ handheld is copied onto your new CLIÉ handheld.

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

If the 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 used, the setting information that is specific to the old CLIÉ handheld will be also transferred with the data and some problems may arise. If you try performing the HotSync® operation in the same way with your old CLIÉ handheld, problems may also arise. Do not transfer data with the same user name.

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

Enter a name that is different from the user name of your old CLIÉ handheld. 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 CLIÉ handhelds will be mixed or deleted.

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

Note on performing the HotSync® operation with another CLIÉ handheld.

When using another CLIÉ handheld, install (overwrite) Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software that is supplied with your new CLIÉ handheld without deleting the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software for your old CLIÉ handheld, from your computer.

The new Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software will be installed after uninstalling the old software except for the necessary features for your new CLIÉ handheld.
