Managing
Faxes
Using check
boxes,
you
can
store
your
faxes
either
on
the
system memory
of
Simon
or
on an
optional
memory
card. After
you
read

with
your
faxes,
erase
them
as soon
as
possible
or
copy them
to
an optional
memory
card
(see
the
"Filei'on
page
48).
Most faxes
use
a
large
amount
of
memory,
so the more
faxes
you
keep
in
your
Simon,
the
less
memory
you
have
for
other
applications,
such
as Address

lf

card,
recelve
your

with a factory
setting
of
Standard.
This
setting is
for
your
information
-
you
cannot
change
it. lf
someone sends
you
a fine-quality
fax,
Simon
will
receive it
as
standard.
All
faxes
that
Simon
sends
are
standard
quality.
(Standard-quality
faxes look
good,
and use
only
half the
system
memory that
fine-quality
faxes
would
require.)
The
fourth
button
is for
fax
speed,
which
has
a
factory
setting
of 4800
bps.
lf
you
select
a higher
number
your
faxes
may
go
faster,
but it
may take
more
time to
make
the
connection
to the
sending
or

machine.
As
your
Simon
tries to
connect to
a fax
machine,
it
tries
the
selected
fax
speed first,
then
tries
lower
speeds
until it
connects.
This means
that
selecting
higher
fax
speeds
may
slow down
your
fax.
Normally, you
get your
best
performance
by
using the
factory
setting.
Busy Retries
sets
up the
number
of times
that
Simon
will try
to
call
a busy
fax machine.
The
factory
setting
is
three
times,
but
you
can
change it
to
one or five
times.
Retry
Delay
is
the
amount of
time Simon
will
wait
to try
to
call the
busy fax
machine
between
tries.
The
factory
setting
is one
minute,
but
you
can
change
it to
five
or 10
minutes.
lf
you
want
to
send
a cover
page
with
the
laxes
you
send, touch
the
Cover
Page
box to
put
a check in
it.
After
you
have
completed
the
settings,
touch the
OK
key.
See
"Setting
Up Fax"
on
page
47.
Receiving
Faxes
First,
make
sure
your
memory
selection
(System
or
Card)
is
correct.
lf
possible,
receive
faxes
to an
optional
memory
card.
Othenvise,
you
can receive
them
to
Simon if
you
have
enough
memory.
When
you
touch
the
Receive
Fax
button
on the
main
Fax
screen,
a
Receiving
Fax
status
window
44
User's
Guide
appears.
Keep
in mind
that
touching
the
Receive
Fax
button
turns
Simon
into
a
small
wireless
fax
machine.
While
you
wait
for
a fax,
you
can't
do
anything
else with
Simon
except
cancel
by touching
the
Back
Arrow.
(The
Back
Arrow
might
not
work
for
the
first
few
seconds.
lf
this
happens,
just
try
again.)
While
you
receive
the fax,
look
at the
status
window
occasionally.
The
messages
in the
status
window
will
keep
you
informed
about
whether
you
are
receiving
or have
received
the
fax.
Note:
lf
the
Phone
rings
while
you're
working
with
Simon,
touch
the
phone
icon
to answer.
lf
it's
a fax
call,
you'll
hear
nothing.
Touch
the
Mobile
Office
icon,
the
Fax
icon,
then
Receive
Fax.
You
have
about
30
seconds
to
do
this
before
the
calling
fax
machine
hangs
up.
Viewing
and
Working
with
Faxes
To look
at a fax,
touch
the
View
Fax
button
on the
main
Fax
screen.
The
list
of faxes
appears.
To
view
a
fax
from
this
list,
just
touch
its
button.
The
next
screen
shows
a
set
of
page
buttons,
one for
each
page
in
the fax.
When
you
touch
one
of these
buttons,
the fax
page
appears
in
the
display,
with
a
set
of tools
and
buttons
below
it.
Note:
To
make
it easier
to view
faxes,
they
appear
rotated
(landscape
orientation)
in
the
viewing
area.
The
upper
left
paft
of
the fax
appears
first.
You
can return
to
this
point
of
the fax
at
any time
by touching
the
Home
button.
The
Pencil
tool
is
active,
indicated
by
a box
around
it.
When
the Pencil
is
active,
you
can
draw
or write
on
the fax
with
your
stylus.
To
erase
lines
with
the
stylus,
touch
the Eraser
tool.
Keep
in
mind
that
the
Eraser
tool
will
erase
both
new
lines
and the
lines
that
were
in
the fax
when
you
received
it. lf
the
fax
is too
small
to read,
touch
the
Zoom
tool
(magnifying
glass).
The
current
zoom
level
appears
in
the
upper
left
corner
of
the
screen.
At
Most
Detailed,
lines
drawn
on
Simon
will
be
smaller
on
paper,
and
at Reduced
or Most
Reduced,
they
will
be larger.
You
are looking
at a fax
through
a small
display.
lf
you
need
to move
the
fax,
touch
the
pan
tool
(the
symbol with
four
arrow
heads).
When
the
Pan
tool is
active,
touch
the
screen,
and
a small
box
will
appear.
Slide
your
stylus
across
the
screen
in
Simon
Features
45
Page 27
the direction
you
want to
drag the fax.
After
you
lift
your
stylus from
the
screen, the fax
will move the
same distance
that
you
slid
your
stylus,
and
in the
same direction.
lf
you
want
to save
your
work with
the fax, touch the
Save button.
Otherwise, touch
the Menu
button.
The
choices
you
have from
the menu
are
(1)
Erase
the fax,
(2)
Quit
without
saving
any changes
or
annotations,
(3)
Save the fax
as is, with
changes
and annotations,
or
(4)
Rename
the fax.
(When
you
Rename
a
fax,
you
also
save
it
as is.) When
you
receive a
fax,
it
automatically
receives
a name
based on how
many
other faxes
are stored on
Simon.
If
you
plan
to keep
a
fax
for a while, it
may
be
handy
to rename
it.
Creating a New
Fax
To create a fax,
touch
the
Create New Fax
button.
A
pop-up
will
appear
that
offers
you
three
choices.
To
start
the
Sketch Pad, touch
the ln
Sketch Pad
button. To
start the Note
Pad touch
the ln Note
Pad button.
(You
can easily
fax any
sketches or
notes that
you
create.)
To
create a full-page
fax,
touch its
button.
Creating a full-page
fax
is very
similar to working
with an existing
fax,
except
you
start with a blank
screen.
The
tools
and
buttons
are the same,
but
the zoom
level
stafts
at Most Detailed
to make
it
easier to draw
details
and to
provide
the best
system
performance.
You
can
change the zoom
level,
but
it
will
take longer
to
pan
across the
page
as
you
create the
fax.
Because
you
are working
on
a full-size
page
with
a
small display
(with
landscape
orientation), it
can be
tricky to create
a new full-page
fax. lf
you
do not
need a full-size
page,
keep in
mind that
it is easier
to
fax
sketches
using
the
Sketch Pad feature
or to
fax typed notes
using the
Note Pad feature.
Sending Faxes
To send a fax,
touch
the
Send Fax
button on the
main Fax
screen.
The list
of faxes
available to
send
will
appear. Touch
the
one
you
want to
send. lf the
fax
has more
than
one
page,
you
have
the option to
send all
pages
or
selected
pages.
lf
you
choose to
send selected
pages,
then
a list of
buttons will
46 User's Guide
appear,
one for
each
page
of the
selected fax.
Touch
the
pages
that
you
want
to
send, and
they
will
be highlighted.
lf
you
change
your
mind
about
a
page,
just
touch
it again.
After
you've
selected
the
pages
you
want
to
send, touch
the
OK
key.
The
screen
will
change
to an
on-screen
keyboard
and
a
form
with
two fields.
For
"To:,"
type
the name
of
the
person
that
you're
sending
the
fax
to. For
"Fax
#:,',
type
the
phone
number
of the recipient's
fax
machine.
Then touch
the
Done
key
at the
bottom
of
the
screen. A
Sending Fax
status
window
will
appear.
You
can keep
track
of
your
fax's

by watching
the messages
in the
status
window.

Filer
Use
the Filer
feature
to manage
your
Simon files
and to
back up
your personal
data.
Memory
Management
Simon
works
with two
kinds
of memory:
system
and card.
System memory
comes
as
part
of Simon.
Card
memory
is
available on optional
memory
cards.
As
you
save data to
either
system
memory
or a
memory
card,
you
have
less room
to store
additional data.
You can
buy more memory
cards,
but
you
may
also want
to use Filer
to manage
your
memory.
The
main Filer
screen has
two memory
check
boxes, with the
System
Memory
box checked to
start
with.
To
switch to
card memory,
touch its
check box.
The main Filer
screen
also has
a memory-used
indicator,
which
shows
you
how much
of the
currently
selected memory
you
have
used.
lt
also
tells
you
how
much
memory
you
have left
in bytes.
"Byte"
is
a computer
term for
memory
units. A
good
way to think
of memory
is
that
you
have
a memory
budget to spend
on
data. lf
you
start to run out
of
room,
you
either need
to
get
more memory
cards, or
you
need
to
erase data that
you
no longer
need.
For
example, faxes
require
a lot
of memory to
store,
so
you probably
want
to erase
them
or copy them to
memory
cards
as soon
as
possible
after
you
receive
them.
Working
with Files
When
you
touch
Filer from
the
Mobile
Office,
you
see
a set of folders
for the
different
Simon features,
such as Address
Book,
Calendar,
and Fax. To look
in a folder,
just
touch it.
All available
files in the
folder
appear
as buttons.
The
button label
shows
the name
of the file
and how
much memory
it uses.
To work
with a file,
touch its
button.
To return to
the main Filer
screen,
touch the lndex
button in the
upper right
corner
of the screen.
See
"Using
the
Filer" on
page
50.
After
you
touch
a file's
button,
a menu will
appear.
From this menu
you
can choose
to copy
the
file,
rename the file,
or
erase the file.
lf
you
are working
48 User's
Guide
with
a file in
Simon's system memory,
you
can copy
it
to
an optional memory
card. lf
you
are
working
with
a file on a memory
card,
you
can copy it to
Simon's
system
memory.
Prepare,
Back
Up, and Restore
When
you
check card memory,
three
additional
buttons
appear at
the
bottom of the
main Filer
screen: Prepare,
Backup,
and Restore. lf
you
want
to
back up
(copy) your personal
data,
you
need to
insert
an optional memory
card in the
PCMCIA slot.
lf
you
have never
used the card in
Simon before,
you
must
prepare
it
by touching
the Prepare
button.
(Another
common name for
prepare
is
formaf.) This
will
take a while,
and
if
the card
has any data
on
it,
preparing
the
card
will
erase it.
After
you've
prepared
the
card,
just
touch
the Backup
key to
copy all of
your personal
data to
the card. Then,
if
anything happens to
Simon's memory,
you
can use
the
Restore
button to copy
your personal
data back
to
Simon. lt is a
good
idea
to back
up
your
personal
data frequently, and to keep
the memory
card in
a safe
place
separate
from where
you
keep
your
Simon.
