Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop Software
Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop software extends many of the functions of your SPT 1700
Series terminal to your computer. Although using Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop software
is optional, when you use it with your SPT 1700 Series terminal and the built-in HotSync
technology, you can fully synchronize the information on your SPT 1700 Series terminal
with the information on your computer. Changes you make on your SPT 1700 Series
terminal or Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop display in both places after you synchronize.
With Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop software you can:
• Work with your SPT 1700 terminal applications on your computer. The Symbol
Palm Terminal Desktop software duplicates the Date Book, Address Book, To Do
List and Memo Pad applications on your SPT 1700 terminal, so you can view, enter
and modify any data stored on your SPT 1700 terminal.
• Back up the data stored on your SPT 1700 terminal with HotSync technology and
synchronize the data with the Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop software.
Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures your data is always safe and
up-to-date. Refer to
Chapter 9, Applications: HotSync® for information about using
this feature.
• Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from other Windows
applications into Address Book or Memo Pad.
• Print your Date Book, Address Book, To Do List and Memo Pad information on any
Windows-compatible printer.
