Usage

Usage of the Psion Print button

The PSI Utilities do not have a print function (to print a Psion file via the PC). The PM PSI Utilities facilitates this by copying a file from the Psion to the PC and directly send the copied file to the printer (assuming that a printer is connected to the PC). If you want to use this function for printing Psion Word files, do the following (this information applies to the Psion Series 5mx).

Known restrictions

Special note for notebook users

When the PSI Utilities are used on a notebook computer, the serial port could be disabled when the computer leaves the standby or hibernation mode. Communication with the Psion will not work then. You can try the following workaround (this works fine for a IBM Thinkpad 600E).
Open a OS/2 window and enter the following command:
mode com1:115200
(Assuming that you use com1 for communication with the Psion and your serial port supports this speed.)
