Connect using a Serial cabl e –
Using any standard Serial cable (the one included is
white), insert the circular end into the back of the QuickPAD and the rectangular 9-pin
connector into the back of your computer.
Connect the cable only after QuickPAD is
turned on.
You do not need to install any drivers or software for the serial cable to work.
Connect using the Infrared receiver –
There are two ways you can connect the IR
receiver: USB cable and keyboard cable. Your desktop does not have to be off to perform
the following steps.
•
Using a keyboard cable –
The IR receiver is used as a
“
pass through
”
device when
connecting to the keyboard port on your computer. In other words, you can use the IR
receiver and your keyboard at the same time without affecting performance. First,
remove the keyboard cable from the back of your computer and plug this end into the
IR receiver. Next, attach the supplied cable to the open port on the IR receiver and the
other end to the keyboard port on the back of your computer. The IR receiver should
now be the intermediary between your keyboard and your computer, and the LED
light on the receiver should be
ON
.
NOTE:
If there is no keyboard attached to your
computer (i.e. laptops), you can directly connect the IR receiver to your computer
using the supplied keyboard cable.
•
Using a USB cable –
You can connect the IR receiver directly to your computer using
a USB cable. Simply attach the square-shaped end of the cable to the IR receiver and
the thin rectangular end to your computer. Your computer should automatically detect
the connection. If it does not, refer to the troubleshooting guide at the end of this
section.
NOTE:
The USB connection will work only with Windows 98 or later (not
compatible with WIN 3.1, DOS, WIN 95 or WIN NT).

You can locate a file

Open a word processor or spreadsheet file on computer –
Open any word
processor or spreadsheet file on your computer and place the cursor where you wish
the QuickPAD data to be inserted. The file can be an already existing file or a new
file.

Send data --
Once you have selected the place for the text to be inserted, press the
