Basics 15
Installing AlphaSmart Manager
Neo can print to many USB printers and can also print by beaming
text to an IR-capable printer. To find out about using IR technology to
print, see “If you want to use IR” on page 16.
To print from your Neo to a USB printer:
1. Plug the thin, rectangular end of the printer’s USB cable into
Neo’s USB printer port, located along Neo’s top edge on the left.
2. Make sure the other end of the USB cable is plugged into the
printer.
3. Make sure the printer is turned on.
4. Press
a -P
or
print
on Neo to print the current file.
Note:
Neo doesn’t control print settings such as font, print
quality, margins, and so on. These settings are determined by the
printer’s default settings.
To beam text to a printer:
1. Make sure your Neo is turned on and that you’re in the file you
want to print.
2. Point your Neo at the printer’s IR transceiver and press
print

Installing AlphaSmart Manager
AlphaSmart Manager is a software application you install on your
computer to help manage files, SmartApplets, and settings on your
Neo. Neo can be used alone with your computer and a USB cable or
IR pod, but AlphaSmart Manager offers a convenient way to view,
collect, and transfer files back and forth between your Neo and your
computer.
