- WHAT'S IN YOUR SERIAL INTERFACE KIT
- -----------------------------------
-
- This Serial Interface Kit contains the cable and software that enables you to
- transfer files between your HP 48 calculator and your computer. In addition,
- we've provided several useful applications.
-
- The on-line documentation uses [ ] to represent an HP 48 keyboard key and { }
- to represent a menu key.
-
- Here is a list and description of the programs in this product:
-
- KERMIT.EXE The protocol for transferring files between an MS-DOS(R)
- computer and an HP 48. (Kermit must be running on the
- computer before you can transfer files.)
-
- GROB2TIF.EXE An MS-DOS program to convert an HP 48 graphics
- object into TIFF (Tag Image File Format) format.
-
- APPT An appointment calender program for the calculator.
-
- USAG A calculator program that enables you to see the
- usage for any HP 48 command.
-
- CLK A calculator program that adjusts the calculator's
- system clock to keep it accurate.
-
- INPRT A calculator program that enables the HP 48 to receive
- infrared output from other HP calculators.
-
- STPWATCH.LIB An HP 48 library containing a stopwatch application
- for the calculator.
-
- PCLPRINT.LIB An HP 48 library that enables you to print a graphics
- object on a PCL printer, such as the HP DeskJet printer.
-
- EPSPRINT.LIB An HP 48 library that enables you to print a graphics
- object on an Epson printer, such as the FX-85 printer.
-
-
- HOW TO USE THESE APPLICATIONS
- -----------------------------
-
- Each program has an associated documentation file with a .TXT filename
- extension (for example, EPSPRINT.TXT, INPRT.TXT, and KERMIT.TXT). To learn
- how to use a program, read its .TXT file and follow the instructions there.
- You may want to print these files to get the documentation on paper.
-
- The instructions in the .TXT files assume that you're familiar with HP 48
- terminology and procedures, so you may need to refer to your "HP 48 Owner's
- Manual" at times.
-
- Since you need to be running Kermit on your computer to transfer files
- between the computer and the HP 48, the KERMIT.TXT file is a good file to
- read first.
-
-
- CABLE WIRING INFORMATION
- ------------------------
- The cable included in your package is wired to work with MS-DOS computers. If
- you wish to use the cable with another type of computer or with a printer, you
- may need an adapter. The following table shows how the 9-pin connecter and the
- 25-pin adapter included are wired.

- HP CALCULATOR BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM

- of software and information among HP calculator users, developers, and
- distributors. The bulletin board operates at 300/1200/2400 baud, full
- duplex, no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit. The telephone number is (503)
- 750-4448. The bulletin board is a free service--you pay only for the

- York, 1981, 1988) is available on the HP Calculator Bulletin Board System.
-
-
- SUGGESTIONS
- -----------
-
- For additional information on Kermit protocol, a book by Frank da Cruz,
- "KERMIT, A File Transfer Protocol" (1987. Bedford, MA: Digital Press), is
- available in many bookstores or can be ordered.
-
- You may want to print this file--it makes a good "table of contents" for
- the product.
-
- ALSO, DON'T FORGET TO SEND IN YOUR REGISTRATION CARD FOR THIS PRODUCT.
- THAT WAY YOU'LL BE SURE TO GET THE SOFTWARE UPDATES THAT COME OUT.
-
- Enjoy the power of your HP 48!
