Routing and Communications

7-24 Routing Incoming Items

Sending Out Box Items 7

Items a user chooses to send later (as described in “Send Button and Close

Box” on page 7-18) wait in the Out Box until the user is ready to have the

transports transfer the items out of the Newton device. At that time the user

connects the Newton to an output device and chooses a matching output

service from the Send picker that pops up when the user taps the Send button

in the Out Box. For example, to send faxes waiting in the Out Box, a user

connects a fax modem and chooses Fax from the Out Box’s Send picker. The

Send picker lists all Newton transports capable of transferring items from the

Out Box to an output device. Figure 7-17 shows a sample Send button and

picker in the Out Box.

Figure 7-17 The Out Box’s Send picker lets users send items to output devices

Before choosing an output service from the Out Box’s Send picker, a user can

select speciﬁc queued items to be sent. If the user does not select items ﬁrst,

the chosen service sends all items waiting for it.

Routing Incoming Items 7

As mentioned earlier, users receive incoming data items through the In Box

part of the built-in In/Out Box application. The items come from Newton

transports that connect to sources of incoming items, retrieve items, and

transfer the items to the In Box. For example, the built-in fax transport can

connect to a calling fax machine, retrieve a fax, and transfer it to the Newton

In Box.
