You can transfer files between your desktop computer and your
Velo 500 by dragging files to and from the Velo 500 icon in the
Mobile Devices folder or by using Cut, Copy, and Paste on the
Edit menu.
When you drag or copy and paste a file between your Velo 500
and your desktop computer, a version of the file exists in both
locations. If you convert or transfer a file, make changes to the
file, and then convert or transfer the file back to its original
location, Windows CE Services assigns the file a new file name
to preserve the integrity of your original file.
In addition to transferring files, you may need to convert certain
file types, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel files, before
you can use them on your Velo 500. Files originating on the
Velo 500 that you want to transfer to or print from your desktop
computer may also have to be converted. You can set Windows
CE Services to convert selected file types automatically while they
are transferred, using conversions you specify or the defaults
provided for the most common types of files.
Caution When a file is transferred, it may be converted into a
different file type, and some formatting may be changed or removed
for efficiency. For more information about file conversions, see
Windows CE Services Help on your desktop computer.
When creating files on the desktop computer, it is best to accept
the default file name extension. If you change the extension so
that it does not match the file type, file conversion may not work.

Your Velo 500 provides several options for printing. You can
connect your Velo 500 directly to a serial or parallel printer,
use the infrared port to send files to an IrDA-compatible printer,
or use Windows CE Services to print a file that resides on your
Velo 500 from a desktop computer.
To connect directly to a serial printer, you will need an optional
serial cable. For information about optional cables and other
accessories, check the Philips Web site at
