Q: How do I exchange information with my
personal computer? For example, can I
take telephone numbers I already have in
another software program and load them
into my ZR-5700/ZR-5800? Can I take
letters I have written on my ZR-5700/ZR-
5800 and send them to my favorite word
processing program?
A: Sharp offers both MS Windows and Macintosh
transfer utility software that allows you to easily
exchange information with your personal
computer. This software can convert your ZR-
5700/ZR-5800 information into computer formats
that many popular software programs can read. In
addition, you can save information from your
favorite software programs using one of these
formats and then transfer the information to the
ZR-5700/ZR-5800 using this utility software.
Formats supported include:
.RTF (Rich Text Format), which many word
processors support (e.g. MS Word).
.TXT (text), which almost all text-oriented pro-
grams support.
.CSV (Comma Separated Values), which many
databases, PIMs, etc. support.
Note: CSV is for multi-field/multi-record informa-
Q: How do I backup my important
information?
A: It is important to always have a back-up of your
important electronic information. Here are some
ways to do this:
• You can print out a hard copy using the Sharp
CE-IR1 infrared adaptor for printing. You will also
need a PC-compatible printer (see page 192 for
details).
• You can backup your entire unit using either a PC
SRAM Memory card or a PC Flash Memory card.
Flash Memory cards (space permitting) can hold
multiple back-ups and require no battery backup
system. In both cases, be sure the capacity of
the card can handle the roughly 650 KB of user
storage on ZR-5700 and 1700 KB on ZR-5800
(i.e. use 1 MB cards or higher).
• You can use an MS Windows or Macintosh data
transfer utility program to back-up your data onto
either a hard drive or a floppy disk. See the
enclosed registration card for details about the
free ($6.95 S&H) software offer from Sharp as
well as details about a transfer cable offer.
