Oh great. Thanks so much. I will try that. That will be so easy if it does.

Hello Sharon,
You can move the email folders.cdb, address list.cdb and connection
configurations.cdb files from the KeyList folder on the flashdisk on the
BrailleNote to the same location on the PK, only if your BrailleNote is
running KeySoft 6.11 or later. If you wish to also transfer your Planner,
just copy your Planner files from the KeyPlan folder on the BrailleNote,
to
the same location on the BrailleNote PK.
The reason for this is that Microsoft changed the format of the databases
in
Windows CE 4.2 which wasn't used prior to KeySoft 6.1.

Hi, Sharon:
I don't believe you can do what you'd like to do. The platform
on the pk is different, and if I recall, even though you back up
your address list, you can't put them in the pk. Those
particular files, such as on KeyList won't work in the mPower, or
the pk. If you are transplanting, I believe Humanware moves
those addresses into the mPower.
Kind Regards,
Rhonda Clark

Hello. I need to know how I can move my address book, connection
settings,
email information and whatever else I need from my bn to my pk.
My bn is
going
in for the transplant and just got the pk.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hello Terri,
The Edgeport converter that is mentioned in the manual and was
mentioned
on
the list a day or two ago, works because it supports the Windows
CE
operating system and we have put the drivers for this device, in
the
BrailleNote mPower image.
There is another solution which some Humanware staff in the US
have found
to
work. It is a Bluetooth parallel adapter and is cheaper than
the Edgeport
converter. This adapter is made by Bluetake Technology:
www.bluetake.com
However, not having seen or tested this device, I am not able to
provide a
lot more information on it, apart from saying that it appears as
a printer
in the list of Bluetooth services.

Well, my printer won't work with the Mp because it uses Windows
software
as
well as the USB cable.
As for embossers, I use an Index Everest-D. It has a serial and
a
parallel
connection. S, I can buy a USB to parallel converter, connect
to the
serial
port, use my BN classic to emboss from, or use my PC for
embossing.
I'm a cheapskate, so I'm using my PC for embossing.
I remember Jonathan said in his demo of the BN Mp that USB to
parallel
converters would work with the MP, but if they require software,
how could
they?
As far as freezes go, I hate to lose data, too. That's why I
wish Keysoft
had a timed backup, like the programs on my PC's do. Until
then, the
work-around is to save the document every 5 minutes. That's
what I have
my
timed backup set for on my PC.
I hope Jonathan or Dean can shed some light on these parallel to
USB
converters or is it USB to parallel adapters?

Rhonda, Kathy and list,
I'm facing this same situation only as it applies to embossing
documents.
I may need to read that section.
I was editing a newsletter for embossing. While working on it
last
night,
the "freeze bug" decided to visit me. Perhaps it had to find a
new place
since a number of you have run the patch. I was stuck in the
page column
and line information and couldn't get out no matter what I tried
to do.
My only option was to hit the reset button. Needless to say, I
lost two
hours of work. Luckily, most of my efforts dealt with
formatting. I
would really have been mad had I written the document from
scratch. I
recovered much of my work last night and finished everything up
tonight.
I will probably transfer the document over to my BN classic
which has the
parallel port and I'll be able to emboss from there I hope!
What a pain!
I hope to have the necessary interface by the time I do this
newsletter
again.
Keep us posted!

Kathy, first of all, in looking at the manual, it says that this
discussion is outside the scope of the user guide, for what
that's worth.
USB is now the universal standard for connecting to printers.
Plug the
USB printer into one of your BrailleNote BT USB host ports, and
select
USB
as your printer port.
Though the BrailleNote mPower no longer has a parallel port, it
is
possible to use a printer or embosser that only has a parallel
connecter.
Using an Inside Out Networks -- Edgeport/421 multi-interface
converter,
you can print to a parallel printer or embosser by plugging in
the USB
cable of the converter to the BN BT, and the parallel cable of
the
printer
into the converter hub.
This requires a special driver to work on the BN. No software is
required
to be downloaded for this. There is more information on this in
section
6.8.6. Good luck.

Subject: [Braillenote] Printers and the mPower
Hi, List and Humanware staff,
What printers have you mPower users used successfully with your
mPower? If they were not a USB printer, have you had success with
the USB
to parallel converter cables?
I will need such a cable to use with my Epson printer, and
wondered if they're workable.
I could connect the mPower to the Canon printer my husband uses,
via the USB port, but unfortunately it was not supported by the
mPower
even in the standard setting, hence the need to try my Epson. We
have a
third printer but it's also a Canon.
Thanks for your help.
Kathy (still enjoying using my mPower)
