Sharp IQ-8900 - Manual (Page 29)

What is the Outline application ? Why would I want to use it instead of
Notebook?
A: The Outline application allows you to group and categorize information using
a hierarchical structure. Everyone has a lot of small but important pieces of
information that have to be memorized or kept track of in a written record, for
example, important personal information: Social Security number, credit card
numbers, various ID numbers, account numbers, clothing sizes, etc. Using
the unit, you could make a number of Notebook entries for each piece of
information, but a better way to manage the information would be to make a
single Outline file called “Personal Information.” This file could then contain
a number of headings (such as Car info., Travel info., Health info., Financial
info., etc.), under which relevant pieces of information could be stored. This
makes it easier to access information and prevents your unit from becoming
cluttered with hundreds of individual entries.
Additional Outline files could also be made, including: favorite movie list,
project management file, To Do lists, price lists, product line-up and
specification file, business plans, product proposals, and meeting notes.
Many types of information can be more easily and efficiently managed in an
Outline structure.
Another use of the Outline application is document preparation. Many times
you might want to write a memo, letter, proposal, marketing plan, etc., but
find it difficult to write an entire document from scratch. The Outline
application allows you to capture your thoughts and ideas, then rearrange
and categorize them at any time. You can also copy an Outline file and
paste it into the Notebook application to finish the document there, adding
text to the major topics.
Q: I want to send faxes from my IQ-8900 series unit, but what do I need
besides the unit itself?
A: The IQ-8900 series unit has fax software built in, but you will also need the
PC fax/modem and the CE-137T level converter.
Not all PC fax/modems can be used with the IQ-8900 series unit. Contact
your nearest SHARP dealer for information about compatibility and
availability of the PC fax/modems. (If the CE-FM1 Fax/Modem is not
available for use in your country because of the specifications of the
telephone lines, ignore references to it in this manual.)
