Using Graffiti
®
writing to enter data
This section describes the procedures for creating letters, numbers, punctuations, and symbols, and teaches you some
Graffiti
®
tips and tricks.
What is Graffiti writing?
Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character you can type on a standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely resemble the upper case letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn.
(Graffiti writing examples
A, B, C, D, E)
Entering characters with a single stroke
Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your CLIÉ handheld recognizes and displays the text character immediately.
To allow you to write an entire character with a single stroke, some Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet equivalents.
The dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke
Certain characters have similar shapes, but different beginning and end points. Always begin the stroke from the dot.
Lift stylus here
Start stroke from dot
Note
You do not need to create the dot; it is only there to show you where to begin the stroke.

5
Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
When you lift the stylus from the screen, your CLIÉ handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the letter at the insertion point on the screen.
As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you want to write.
Note
You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do not make Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your
CLIÉ handheld does not recognize them as text characters.
Notes on writing Graffiti characters
• Recognition accuracy improves when you write large characters. You should draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.
• Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate recognition errors.
• Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the sides of the Graffiti writing area.

Non-ASCII Characters for Log-in Scripts
The following information enables you to create custom log-in scripts that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom log-in script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send
^char, and the ASCII value of character is between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31.
For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return.
If character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If character is any other value, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing. For example, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.
Carriage return and line feed
You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the log-in script, when they are entered in the following format.
• <
cr
> : Sends or receives a carriage return
• <
lf
> : Sends or receives a line feed
For example, the string “waitfor Joe<cr><lf>” waits to receive Joe followed by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer before executing the next command in the script.
Literal characters
The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarily associated with that character.
Examples:
• \^ : Includes a caret as part of the string
• \< : Includes a < as part of the string
• \ \ : Includes a backslash as part of the string

What is “Memory Stick” media?
“Memory Stick” media is a new, compact, and portable Integrated Circuit recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory
Stick” media is specially designed for exchanging and sharing data among
“Memory Stick” media compatible products, such as a digital video camera.
Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” media can also be used for external data storage.
“Memory Stick” media enables you to exchange data between your CLIÉ handheld and computer. To exchange data via “Memory Stick” media, your
CLIÉ handheld uses the supplied CLIE Files application.
Types of “Memory Stick” media
There are two types of “Memory Stick” media:
• “MagicGate Memory Stick” media, which is equipped with “MagicGate” copyright protection technology.
• “Memory Stick” media, which is not equipped with “MagicGate” copyright protection technology.
You can use both types of “Memory Stick” media with your CLIÉ handheld.
However, to play ATRAC3 format files, make sure to use “MagicGate
Memory Stick” media.
What is MagicGate?
MagicGate is the copyright protection technology that is used for “MagicGate
Memory Stick” media or MagicGate compatible devices such as a CLIÉ handheld. MagicGate certifies the device and “MagicGate Memory Stick” media as copyright-protection-compatible devices and encodes data to be played back on devices. The copyrighted data cannot be played back on a device not certificated.
Note on using “MagicGate Memory Stick” media
Do not handle copyright-protected files or directories stored on “MagicGate
Memory Stick” media with the CLIE Files application or Windows
®
Explorer, the file may be disabled. To handle copyright-protected files, use a
“MagicGate” compliant application such as the SonicStage software.

Notes
• You cannot transfer data from another CLIÉ handheld with the Memory Stick Backup application.
• You cannot transfer applications that you installed. You need to reinstall them to your
CLIÉ handheld.
• Some third-party applications may operate only on your old CLIÉ handheld. For details, contact the application manufacturer.
Transferring data using the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software
For data of the basic Palm OS
®
applications such as Address Book, Memo Pad,
To Do List, and Date Book, you can use the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software to transfer data from your old CLIÉ handheld to the new CLIÉ handheld by exporting and importing data.
Before you start transferring data, you need to perform a HotSync
®
operation between your previous CLIÉ handheld and the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software for your new CLIÉ handheld using a new user name you have never used. After performing a HotSync
®

If a HotSync
®
operation between your new CLIÉ handheld and the Palm™
Desktop for CLIÉ software for your old CLIÉ handheld is performed with the user name that has been being used, the setting information that is specific to the old CLIÉ handheld will be transferred with the data and some problems may arise. If you try performing a HotSync
®
operation in the same way with your old CLIÉ handheld, problem may also arise. Do not transfer data by this method.
The screen to select the user name is displayed when performing a HotSync
®
operation in your CLIÉ handheld
Please enter a name that is different from the user name of the CLIÉ handheld that is being used. If the same user name is used, the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software will not recognize your CLIÉ handheld properly and the data of the respective models will be mixed or deleted.
Moreover, if you copy UnsavedPreference from another CLIÉ handheld to your CLIÉ handheld, you will not be able to manage your CLIÉ handheld with another name since the user name is also copied.
