→Saving Your Records
To save your data on a mass storage device connected to the computer via the TI RS232 Interface, refer to the directions in the appropriate owner's manual for the proper procedure.
====Loading Your Records====
To load records which you have previously saved on a mass storage device, select option 4, ''Load'', ''Save'', or ''Print Records'', from the WEIGHT CONTROL & NUTRITION selection list. Then select option 1, Load Records, from the next display.
Next, select the mass storage device you are using, ''Tape (CSl)'' or ''Other Device''. When you are prompted by the computer, enter the file name as specified in the appropriate owner's manual. The computer then gives you instructions for loading the file into the computer's memory.
After the file is properly loaded. press '''SHIFT W''' (BEGIN) to return to the WEIGHT CONTROL & NUTRITION selection list. You are now ready to use the module with your records.
''Note:'' If you have already entered information into the computer during this session, the computer warns you to save the information currently in the computer's memory ''before'' you load the old records. Once you load the records, all previous information you have entered for this session is erased.
===Obtaining Printed Copies===
To obtain printed copies. a printer must be attached to the Home Computer. The TI Solid State Thermal Printer can produce an exact copy of the displayed information. including special graphics characters. (Refer to the owner's manual for further instructions.)
When you begin a new session with the module. the display asks if you wish to use a printer during this session. If a printer is attached and turned on, press '''Y'''.
The display then prompts you to enter the name of the printing device. If the TI Solid State Thermal Printer is attached, the device name is TP.U. (''Note:'' If you want the printer to eject a minimal amount of blank paper between entries, enter TP.U.S.E as the device name instead of TP.U.)
To obtain a printed copy of a single display, just press '''SHIFT P''' while the display is shown on the screen. The printer then prints the information on that display.
You also have the option of printing out all the menus or all the personal information stored in the computer's memory. To do so, press '''4''' while the WEIGHT CONTROL & NUTRITION selection list is displayed to select ''Load'', ''Save'', or ''Print Records''. Then select option 3, Print Records, from the next display.
If you have not already entered the name of your printing device, the module now asks you to do so. The module then displays two options. You may either press '''1''' to print the personal information of all the participants or press '''2''' to print all the menus. (''Note:'' You may stop the printing process at any time by pressing '''SHIFT Z''' (BACK).) When you are finished, press '''SHIFT W''' (BEGIN) to return to the WEIGHT CONTROL & NUTRITION selection list.
