About Beamer
The Beamer SmartApplet uses infrared (IR) technology to send data from one
NEO or NEO 2 to another without using a cable. (You can also send data
between a NEO 2 and an AlphaSmart 3000 running System 3 software, a
Palm OS device, or a Dana.)
Follow these steps to beam files from one NEO2 to another or to a NEO:
1.
Move the NEOs to within three feet of each other and aim their infrared
ports
A
at each other as shown below.
2.
The sender should open the file he or she wants to send and press
ctrl-
send
.
The receiver should open the file space that he or she wants to receive
the text into and press
ctrl-B
.
3.
If the file that the receiver chose was not empty, a message will ask if you
want to overwrite it or append to it (that is, add the beamed text to the end
of the file). Move your cursor next to an option and press
enter
.
See the
NEO and NEO 2 SmartApplet User Manual
to find out how to beam
to and from other devices, how to beam files within the Beamer SmartApplet,
how to send password-protected files, and how to change Beamer settings.
You can also beam
files to your
computer
using the
AlphaBeam software. For
more information, see the
NEO and NEO 2 User
Manual.

clipboard to be overwritten,
