Compact Flash User's Guide Storage Memory Software for the Type Lite Freedom Scientific BLV Group, LLC October 2002 Table of Contents Introduction Compact Flash Commands Rearranging files Refreshing the view Copying Files 1 Creating a new folder Incremental Search Getting information Introduction In the Type Lite, you can store files in three memory areas: RAM (Random Access Memory), Flash, and Compact Flash(tm). RAM and Flash memory are internal and serve as the primary working areas. The Type Lite possess two MB of RAM and twelve MB of internal Flash memory. Additionally, M20/40 notetakers have a software program that stores files on Compact Flash (CF) cards. These cards slide in and out of the Compact Flash port on the rear of the notetaker. A single card can store as little as four MB of data and as much as 256 MB of data. Compact Flash cards can be purchased from most computer or office supply stores. Although, we still recommend the SanDisk cards, your notetaker is also compatible with Kingston, Memorex, Viking, Simple Technology, and eFILM by Delkin Devices. At this time, we do not recommend PNY brands. Files stored on CF cards can be copied to either RAM or Flash memory. The Compact Flash utility provides the necessary tools for copying files to the CF card, for creating a folder on the CF card, and for navigating among the folders. To insert a compact flash card correctly, hold the compact flash card so that the "ridge" is facing down and is between your thumb and index finger. Insert the card gently into the Compact Flash slot until you feel a slight click. To remove the card, grasp and pull the ridge of the card with your index finger and thumb. Compact Flash Commands To run the Compact Flash utility, press F1 to get into the Files Menu or press F8 from within any file. Then navigate to the CF.bns file using the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW. When you arrive at the file, press ENTER to open or run the Compact Flash utility. When the Compact Flash utility is started, the files/folders on the Compact Flash utility are displayed. The following commands work in the Compact Flash utility: Next File DOWN ARROW Previous File UP ARROW Top of List FN+LEFT ARROW Bottom of List FN+RIGHT ARROW View Notetaker Files CTRL+RIGHT ARROW View CF Files CTRL+LEFT ARROW Toggle between Notetaker and CF TAB Backup Notetaker Files to CF ALT+B Restore Notetaker Files from CF ALT+T Copy File(s) C-CHORD Delete File(s) DELETE Open Folder ENTER Note: When you are in list of subfolders, the first item of each list is a period. Pressing ENTER when you are pointing at the period takes you to the previous folder level. Create Folder F7 File Information F1 Rename file or folder F6 Up One Folder Level FN+UP ARROW Mark/Unmark File SPACEBAR Mark Masked Files ALT+M Unmark Masked Files ALT+Y Format CF card ALT+W Available CF space ALT+S Refresh directory ALT+F Skip a file S Overwrite an existing file O Overwrite all files A Rearranging files You can rearrange the file listed using the ALT+8. After entering this command the Type Lite prompts with, "The mask is *.* enter new mask." Type in the new mask using DOS wildcard characters, then press ENTER. The new list is displayed. Tip: Using ENTER to edit a file mask offers two options: Begin typing and erase old text; or navigate to a character or word and use standard editing commands to edit the existing file mask. Refreshing the view Occasionally, it may be necessary to refresh the files list view. This is especially helpful when copying files to a folder. To do this, type an F3. You can issue this command at any time. Copying Files When you copy from the notetaker to Compact Flash, files are copied to the folder last open in the Compact Flash module. When you copy from Compact Flash to the notetaker, files are copied to the folder last open in RAM or Flash memory. When you move to the notetaker side, all RAM or Flash files are displayed. Copying a file to a CF card involves three steps: choosing the target folder; marking the files to be copied; issuing the copy command. Choosing the target folder You first select the folder where the file is to be sent. To do this, press CTRL+LEFT ARROW. Next, navigate to the folder and press ENTER. Marking the files to be copied Next, mark the files to be copied. Press CTRL+RIGHT ARROW to change to the Type Lite side. Next, navigate to the folder containing the desired files. Once there, files must be marked for copying. This can be done in one of two ways. The first way to mark a file is to find it in the list and press the SPACEBAR. The second way to mark files is to use the ALT+M to mark groups of files. After pressing this command, type in a file mask using DOS wildcards such as *.txt, and press ENTER. All files matching the mask will be marked. To mark all files, type ALT+M, *.*, ENTER. Press ALT+Y to unmark files by mask. DELETE deletes folders, but the folders must be empty. Issuing the copy command Last, type ALT+C to copy the files. If there are duplicate files or files with the same name being copied, the notetaker will prompt you to either skip (S) the file, overwrite each existing file one at a time (O), or overwrite all existing files (A) without pausing. After, the unit will report the number of files copied. If a file is too big to transfer or copy into RAM or Flash, you will be prompted to press S to skip the file or ESC to abort the transfer. If the full prompt cannot fit on your display, use your Advance Bars to read forward. Creating a new folder To create a new folder one level below the current level, type F7. Type in the new folder name and press ENTER. Incremental Search The Compact Flash program also supports a powerful incremental name search. Type the desired file name one letter at a time until the full name is spoken or displayed. If you mistype a letter, simply retype it. The program remembers where you are in the search string and the letter is only added to the string if it is found in a file name. To clear the search string, perform any navigational command such as UP or DOWN ARROW. Getting information To receive information about a file, two keystrokes are available: ALT+I and F1. Pressing one of these keystrokes will give the file name, byte size, and the time and date the file was archived. Part# 440080-001 Rev.
