It is important to note that unlike a PC or Mac the Zaurus do list most printers in the ^:pdriver=printer driver^ index. You may have to be a little creative. You can either connect via a cable or a IRDA device. The advantage of a IRDA device is that it does not clutter your desk, and all you have to do when you want to print a document is to point your Zaurus toward the IRDA device and press ^B^2nd+SEND^N^ This works like pressing control+P on a PC. ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:TOP="@back"^ ^eop^ ^Lpdriver^ The Zaurus Printer options can be accessed from almost any application. To set up the driver tap on the documents menu and select the ^B^SEND^N^ button, then select ^B^PRINT....^N^ and use the ^B^PRINTER EMULATION^N^ to select the model of your printer, also choose whether you are using cut pape or continous feed paper. You also need to choose ^B^CABLE^N^ or ^B^WIRELESS^N^ This depends on what hardware you have for your Zaurus Most printers support several printer drivers, you may want to experiment with different printer drivers, remember your printer have to set to the same driver as your Zaurus.^I^ * Some new printers have build in IRDA recievers, in that case, you can naturally use the ^B^Wireless^N^ option.^N^ ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:TOP="@back"^ ^eop^ ^Lpili^ ^B^^1^^R^ T h e P I L I S D K ^N^ The ^B^PILI^N^ runtime which you are using to view this document is part of the ^:pilia=PILI SDK^ which was created by ^B^Patrick Dehlinger^N^ 100014,1025 from ^B^PalmWare^N^ in France it is a completely free software. If you would like to create your own applications for the Zaurus, you can do so using the ^B^PILI^N^ freeware, all you need is a PC or a Mac with SoftDOS. Patrick is behind the PILI freeware, and welcomes any questions about how to create new applications. ^1^^N^^28-17^^B^ShareWare^ ^37-17^ ^:share="@document"^ ^1^^N^^18-17^^B^MORE^ ^22-17^ ^:pilia="@document"^ ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:TOP="@back"^ ^eop^ ^Lpilia^ The PILI freeware is a language interpreter which is installed by the user on the Zaurus platform, software can then be written using a PC based ^B^freeware SDK.^N^ The PILI was written using the official SHARP Zaurus SDK, and the PILI "perform" the instructions written on the PC on the Zaurus. ^B^PILI^N^ is 100% compattible with the Zaurus platform, and is programable with only limited programing experience. If you have any problems creating your application, ask in the Zaurus forum on CompuServe. ^B^(GO ZAURUS)^N^ ^1^^N^^29-17^^B^ShareWare^ ^38-17^ ^:share="@document"^ ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:pili="@back"^ ^eop^ ^Lshare^ If you are interested in developing Share Ware for the Zaurus platform, you can optain a license from Patrick Dehlinger 100014,1025 in France. There will also be comercial permits avaliable. Comercial licenses avaliable, these is ables on a individual user permit and you will also recieve development help from Patrick. Remember that PILI was created to enhance the Zaurus user experience. Share your cool creations with other users, upload them to the Zaurus libray on CompuServe as freeware, ^B^you will be a HERO^N^ to all Zaurus users. ^1^^N^^34-17^^B^MORE^ ^38-17^ ^:pili="@document"^ ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:pilia="@back"^ ^eop^ ^Lmodem^ The Zaurus offers two different modem solutions. ^:CE-FM4=SHARP's CE-FM4^ and ^:PCmodem=PCMCIA card modem^ Each of these Modems offers different advantages Sharp offer the CE-FM4 bundled with the Zaurus The bundled models are called ZR5000FX, ZR5700FX and ZR5800FX, Non FX models do not come with a modem. ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:TOP="@back"^ ^eop^. ^LCE-FM4^ ^R^^B^SHARP's CE-FM4 "sidecar" modem^N^ This cool little modem mounts to the side of your Zaurus, it only transmits data at 2400 bps and FAX at 9600 bps. But there is a few things in it's favor... ^B^A. ^N^The build in CompuServe application does not run much faster when using a PCMCIA modem. ^B^B.^N^ It last for as much as 2 hours online on a set of AA batteries. This is a great feature anythime you are not next to a battery outlet or a power adaptor. ^B^C^N^ This modem is 100% compattible with all applications in the Zaurus, and you do not have to worry about any init strings. Just plug it in and play... ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:modem="@back"^ ^eop^. ^LPCmodem^ The ZR5700 and the ZR5700 both can power a ^B^PCMCIA^N^ modem from the internal batteries, but you only get about 20 minutes of online time from a set. However if you are planing to use terminal often, need the more compact size of the Zaurus with a internal modem, or want to connect via a ^B^CELL phone^N^ a PCcard modem may be the hot ticket.. ** Using the ^:emul=terminal^ emulation you can^B^ enjoy^N^ of the higher speed offered by a PCMCIA modem. Most 28.8 modems draw more power than 14.4 modems, because of this the Zaurus will generally not power a 28.8 card. Also the Zaurus software don't support speeds higher than 14.4 Take advantage of this, and buy a cheap 14.4 modem rather than an much more expencive 28.8 card. ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:modem="@back"^ ^eop^. ^Lemul^ Terminal Emulation..... This scarry term have been around for a long time, and it gives you a clean and very fast interface to ^B^CompuServe^N^, the ^B^internet^N^, and ^B^ BBS^N^'s. The cool thing is that it is fast and that almost any computer can besccesed this way.... ^B^However^N^ there is a pretty steep learning curve. Still that being said, ^B^GO FOR IT....^N^ it is very ^B^satisfying^N^ to master the terminal interface. ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:PCmodem="@back"^ ^eop^. ^LCIS^ ^R^ The Zaurus CompuServe software ^N^ There is a great CompuServe software for the Zaurus it is called the CCZ (CompuServe Companion for the Zaurus), it is build into the ZR3000, ZR5700, and the ZR5800, if you have a ZR5000 it can be purchased seperately from a mail order company. ^1^^N^^34-17^^B^MORE^ ^38-17^ ^:AutoPilot="@document"^ ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:TOP="@back"^ ^eop^ ^Linet^ You can use the Zaurus on the internet in several ways, at this point you have to use the terminal emulation and either PINE or LYNX from your ISP. There is several files in the Sharp Zaurus library on CompuServe, ^B^GO ZAURUS^N^ documenting how to connect to and surf the internet using your Zaurus. ^B^RUPP tecnology^N^ offers ^B^Z-m@il^N^ for the Zaurus, this is a add-on software which allows you to send and recieve internet e-mail and binary files using the mime encoding. The software is a POP3 client. You can get Z-m@il from RUPP @ 800-844-7775. ^1^^N^^31-17^^B^E-mail^ ^38-17^ ^:email="@document"^ ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:TOP="@back"^ ^eop^ ^LFAQ^ Thank you for checking this FAQ out. Like you probably have noticed it is far from perfect, there is lots of subjects not covered at all, or only mentioned. If you feel like writing text about any subject. (Or if you think that some information need to be addet to any screen) Please do so, e-mail it to me (Bo Lorentzen 75300,2517) I will include it in the next update. It is my hope that this FAQ soon will cover most details about the Zaurus. By sending this document to your documents section of the Zaurus you can also see how it was put together. Please feel free to copy and use the hex art from this document. Sincerely Bo Lorentzen ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:TOP="@smile"^ ^eop^ ^Lemail^ You can send email using the Zaurus CompuServe software. simplt tap on the OUT basket, select MAIL, and press the "NEW ENTRY" button on you keyboard then enter a topic and press TO to enter the addressyou want to send the e-mail to. If you want to send to a internet address enter it like this: internet:jcool@dude.com This will make CompuServe send the message via the internet. ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:TOP="@back"^ ^eop^ ^Lconfa^ ^4^ This is a guide for how to use the Zaurus to partcipate in online conferences. You can use any Zaurus to participate in a online conference on CompuServe, follow these steps to succeed. ^B^ 1. TERMINAL. ^N^^4^ You have to have a terminal setup for CompuServe, this is a requirement for connectiong to CompuServe. If you have not created a terminal setting for CompuServe yet, you will need to open the SETUP menu for any terminal in the terminal index. Enter CompuServe as the name, and your local access number in the number box, then select databits=7 parity=even stopbits=1 also tap on the modem screen and select the modem port and speed you want to use. do not change any thing else. ^B^ 2. CONNECT. ^N^^4^ Tap twice on the terminal you have prepared, this will cause it to log on. after the modem handshake you will see a blank screen, wait 3 sec. then press ENTER once, CompuServe will now ask you for a host name? Type CIS and press ENTER, now you will get prompted for your user id, enter your user id and predd ENTER, next prompt is for your password, enter that and press ENTER. ^1^^N^^34-17^^B^MORE^ ^38-17^ ^:confb="@document"^ ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:TOP="@back"^ ^eop^ ^Lconfb^ ^4^ ^B^ 3. CompuServe.^N^^4^ After a short pause you will see the top menu of CompuServe, when you see the OK prompt, enter GO ZAURUS and press ENTER, this will bring you to the forum. ^B^ 4. FORUM.^N^^4^ After you enter the forum press ENTER once, this will bring up the forum menu, select "conferencing" by entering 4 and pressing ENTER, then select the room you want to be in, enter the number and press ENTER again. CompuServe will ask you "What's your name" at this point enter your first and last name and press ENTER. The forum rules do not permit "screen handles" and the SYSOP in the conference will ask you to change from a "screen handle" to your name. ^B^ 5. CONFERENCE.^N^^4^ When you are inside the conference room you can send a message by typing it into the screen, the message will not be send until you press ENTER. There is a few commands which can help you, one is to type /use this will show you are in the forum, when you want to leave the forum you have to type /exit. ^1^^N^^34-17^^B^MORE^ ^38-17^ ^:confc="@document"^ ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:confa="@back"^ ^eop^ ^Lconfc^ ^4^ One important thing to remember is to select SETUP from the Zaurus menu and set the screen to "line-wrap". if you already have done this you don't have to do it now. ^B^ 6. PROTOCOL.^N^^4^ Generally unless other-whise have been announced we try to use a somewhat controlled conference protocol. The reason is that by makeing life easyer for the speaker we can all get more answers, which really is why we are there. When you want to ask a question, type a "?" and press ENTER this will make the SYSOP put you on the list, then start typing your question, make sure that you make it short and clear, do not press ENTER until the SYSOP ask you to post your question. This will leave the question in your Zaurus or computer until it is time to ask it. Even though you will see your text line being broken up by the messages from other people, don't worry, when you press ENTER *all* of your question will be send. At the end of the conference you will see the format becomming somewhat looser, that means kick back and chat as you please. ;-) ^1^^N^^34-17^^B^MORE^ ^38-17^ ^:confd="@document"^ ^1^^N^^44-17^^B^BACK^ ^48-17^ ^:confb="@back"^ ^eop^ ^Lconfd^ ^4^ ^B^ 7. TRANSCRIPT.^N^^4^ As you enter the forum it is a good idea to tap on the UP/DN menu on your Zaurus screen, select "download file ASCII" this will capture what goes on durring the conference, so that you can read it later while relaxing. This is a simple way to capture a transcript, and makes it less important to carefully read every line of text which flashes over the screen, because you can read it all later. If the file size grows larger than 16k your Zaurus will ask you for a file name, call it transcript. otherwise it will not ask you until you press the LOG OFF button, an that point you have to name the file, if you press cancle it will be deleted. ^1^^N^^38-17^^B^Main index^ ^48-17^ ^:TOP="@back"^ ^eop^ ^LAutoPilot^ ^2^^B^ Well It had to happen, Sorry to disapoint you but this page is...
