  • Page 117: Appendix A Jot Character Recognizer

    Appendix A | Jot Character Recognizer | Appendix A Jot Character Recognizer The character recognition software, CIC Jot, gives you a fast and easy-to-use method for entering information in any program on your device: just write in the input panel. Each character you write is translated into typed text and displayed on the screen.
  • Page 118 Hewlett-Packard Jornada 420 Palm-size PC Areas of the Input Panel You can write letters in either uppercase or lowercase. How the letter is interpreted and displayed depends on where you write it in the input panel. For example, you can write a letter in lowercase or uppercase, and it will appear in lowercase if you write it in the lowercase letter area (abc) of the input panel.
  • Page 119 Appendix A | Jot Character Recognizer | You can also write punctuation and editing marks, and add or delete space in the letter areas (abc and ABC) of the input panel. For example, draw a horizontal line from left to right to add space, and from right to left to backspace.

  • Page 137: Appendix B Migrating Data From Non-Windows Ce P/Pcs

    Windows CE P/PCs If your data is stored on an HP 100/200LX Palmtop PC or an HP OmniGo Organizer, you must first transfer the data to your desktop PC. Use the Hewlett-Packard PIM Translation Utility (for HP devices only) to import the data into Microsoft Outlook or Schedule+ 7.0a on your desktop PC.
  • Page 138 Appointment Book applications on the HP 100LX/200LX palm-size PCs and HP OmniGo 100/120 organizers and in the Calendar application on the HP Jornada, the Schedule+ application supports only daily and yearly repeated events. Because all translation goes through Schedule+, no direct mapping is available from the older device to Schedule+ for repeating weekly and monthly events.
  • Page 139 You can add or modify the suggested mappings before translating the data. For example, if you have customized the name of a Phone Book field so that the HP PIM Translation Utility does not know how to map it, you can define a mapping for it yourself.
  • Page 140 Status screen. Click the Status button on the Welcome screen to see the history of any translations begun during the current execution of the HP PIM Translation Utility.
