Setting up the Output Menu in EssencePRO.

You will use this menu if you purchased the integrated EssencePRO which has an internal computer. You will also use it if you connect to an external computer or printer.

OUTPUT MENU Options

Output

When you are using the internal computer or when you are connected to an external device that can receive information from the device, you must have the Output option turned ON.

Output Method

This option allows you to select how you are connected to an external device: IrDA is a wireless connection to an IrDA printer; Bluetooth indicates you are using the PRC Bluetooth adapter to connect to a computer; USB indicates you are using a USB cable to connect to a computer; IRR indicates that you are using the PRC infrared receiver to send signals to your computer.

Output Destination

Select INTERNAL if you are using the EssencePRO's internal computer.

This shows the Output turned on and set to Internal.

Select EXTERNAL if you are connecting to an external computer for computer emulation.

This shows the Output turned on and set to USB.

Host Computer Type

If you are sending information to an external computer, select the kind of computer that will receive the information, MAC or IBM.

If you are using the internal computer, this option doesn't matter.

 

Output Mode

IMMEDIATE sends information from your communication aid to the computer or printer as soon as you enter it.

DELAYED means you must select CLEAR DISPLAY to send text from your device to a computer.

 

Auto Line Feed

If your printer does not automatically add lines at carriage returns when it prints, turn this option ON. This tells the printer to start a new line when it sees a carriage return.

 

Character Pacing

When this is ON, the rate at which individual characters are sent from your device to a computer is slowed down. You may need to turn this on if you are sending large groups of text at one time (e.g., complete sentences).

 

Keyboard Layout

Select the appropriate keyboard layout for the country you are in.

 

Calibrate Mouse

If your mouse is not going where you want it to go on the screen, this option allows you to calibrate it to fit your screen. Follow the directions on the screen.
