[nabs-l] print documents and Braille Note

[Patrick Molloy]

Ashley,
You also have another option open to you. From the file manager menu,
press the letter t. This brings up the translation menu. From there,
press the letter i. This activates the import file function. Importing
a file allows you to translate it to keyword type. Importing also
means that you can access files without plugging in your thumb drive.
Once a file is imported onto the braillenote, you don't have to plug
in your thumb drive to access it.
Patrick
