Hello, I am using the Alphasmart Dana itself. So i can use the Serial Manager API right?
I would definitely take a look at PalmPrint and IRPrint today. But i was thinking that if i could use the Serial Manager API, it would be great. Please tell me if any sample code is available for the Serial Manager API or the IRPrint library or the PalmPrint library.
