Then start the Xchange Agent wizard (click Xchange Agent Wizard on the LapLink SyncTools menu). r From the hierarchy of folders displayed for each computer, choose the pair of foldersone folder on each computeryou want to synchronize. Choose as many pairs as you want. Name your Xchange Agent file and save it. Preview the agent you just created, making sure that you set it up as intended. r r Then run the agent to make the files in each pair of folders identical. Previewing an Xchange Agent To prevent unintended transfers, you can preview an agent before synchronizing. The preview screen shows pairs of folders and files, with arrows to indicate the direction in which files will be copied when the agent is run. In the preview window, you can customize the agent by excluding pairs of files (and entire folders) from the current synchronization, leaving the files as they are on each computer. 22 Transferring files23 Synchronizing files using the Xchange Agent Wizard Create an agent by connecting to another computer and selecting the pairs of folders to be synchronized. Preview the agent, and customize it as necessary. Then run the agent. You can also run an agent from the desktop, or run it automatically by scheduling it. Running an Xchange Agent There are several ways to run an Xchange Agent: r r << Go to topic summary Double-click its shortcut icon on the desktop. Schedule the agent to run unattended. See the online users guide for information on scheduling. Start LapLink and run the agent. Double-click the agent file in Windows Explorer. s Xchange Agent exchanges files between folders. It does not merge the contents of files. To merge databases and other shared files, use the program in which the files were created. r r Other synchronization methods: Clone Folder and SmartXchange LapLink includes two other methods to synchronize files between computers (or on a single computer). Clone Folder Makes one folder identical to another by adding, deleting, and updating files in each folder. ! Use this command with caution; any file or folder not on the source will be deleted from the target. SmartXchange Synchronizes folders in the same way as Xchange Agent, but only operates on one set of folders (and subfolders) at a time. See the online users guide for instructions on using Clone Folder and SmartXchange. 23 LapLink Professional Quick Start Guide Printing over a LapLink connection There are two ways to print over a LapLink connection. While controlling a remote computer, you can print from that computer directly to your local printer. Or you can reverse direction and print directly from your local computer to a remote printer. Either way, you use Print Redirection to send a document over LapLink to be printed at the opposite end of the connection. Go to illustration >> Once you have opened a LapLink connection, you can use Print Redirection to send a document from the computer at one end of the connection to a printer at the other end. There are two ways to use Print Redirection over a LapLink connection: r Print from remote to local While using Remote Control to view and operate another computer, you can send a document from that computer to a printer at your location. For example, you can prepare a document on your office computer from home and print the document on your home printer. Print from local to remote When connected to another LapLink computer, you can print a document from your computer to a printer at the remote location. For example, after working on a report at home or on the road, you can connect to your office computer and print the report to a high-quality laser printer in your office. Without Print Redirection, youd have to transfer the document to the other computer and then use Remote Control to run a program on the remote computer and print the document. r s For instructions on printing over a LapLink connection, see the next section. Printing a document over a LapLink connection is much like printing it on a local printer: In the program in which you have prepared the document, choose the standard Print command. Normally you would then choose a printer close at hand. In Print Redirection, however, you choose a printer at the opposite end of the connection from the document. When printing from remote to local, use Remote Control to choose Print on the remote computer; then choose a printer attached to your local computer. When printing from local to remote, choose Print on your local computer; then choose a printer attached to the computer at the other end of the LapLink connection. 24 Printing over a LapLink connection 25 3ULQWLQJRYHUD/DS/LQNFRQQHFWLRQ 3ULQWLQJIURP :KLOHXVLQJ5HPRWH&RQWURO\RXFDQSUHSDUHD UHPRWHWRORFDO GRFXPHQWRQWKHUHPRWHFRPSXWHUDQGSULQWLWRQ \RXUORFDOSULQWHU 3ULQWLQJIURPORFDO > Printing over a LapLink connection is much like printing to a local printer. You simply choose a different printerone that has been installed especially to print over LapLink. When printing from remote to local, choose a local printer from the remote computer using Remote Control. When printing from local to remote, choose a remote printer from the local computer. To print a document over a LapLink connection: 1 Open a LapLink connection to the remote computer. s s For information about setting up a printer for Print Redirection, see the previous section. To print from remote to local, include Remote Control in the services you open. To print from local to remote, open Print Redirection or any of the other services. s You can use Print Redirection over a LapLink connection even when it is not one of the services currently open. Print Redirection becomes available on demand. s 2 Open a word processor, spreadsheet, or other program and prepare the document for printing. 3 Use the standard Print command for your program and choose the printer you set up just for Print Redirection. (It is typically a printer with [LapLink] at the end of its name.) The Print Redirection icon on the LapLink status bar animates as the document is sent over a LapLink connection to the destination printer. When the animation stops, the document has been sent to the other computer. You can then close LapLink if you want. You can monitor the status of the printing document after its been sent over a LapLink connection. On the computer to which the printer is attached, click the Windows Start menu, point to Control Panel, and click Printers. Then double-click the printer icon. Choosing among several printers Normally, Print Redirection sends documents to the printer that has been set up as the default printer on the connected computer. If you send a print job from home to the office, for example, the printer designated as the default on the office computer automatically gets the job. (If there is only one printer set up on a computer, that printer is always used.) 26 Printing over a LapLink connection 27 3ULQWLQJRYHUD/DS/LQNFRQQHFWLRQ Print from a Windows program as you normally would using the Print command. Then choose the printer you set up for Print Redirection. The Print Redirection icon on the status bar animates while the document is being sent to the other computer. The document is then printed. << Go to topic summary If you want to use a printer other than the default printer, you need to set up LapLink to prompt you with a list of available printers whenever you print. Change this setting on the computer the printers are attached to, not the computer youll print from. If youre not in front of that computer, you can still change this setting by remote controlling the computer. To set up LapLink to prompt with a list of printers: 1 On the computer the printers are attached to, click Print Redirection Options on the Options menu. 2 Click Prompt with a List of Available Printers. Whenever you send a document to that computer to be printed, youll be prompted with a list of all the printers set up on that computer. 27 LapLink Professional Quick Start Guide Sending messages using Text Chat Text Chat lets you exchange typed messages with a person sitting at a remote computer. Once you have a Text Chat window open, type your message and click ENTER, or paste text into your Text Chat window. You can also copy text from the Text Chat window for use in other programs. Go to illustration >> Use Text Chat to converse with a person at the other end of your LapLink connection. Used with a LapLink service (such as File Transfer or Remote Control) or by itself, Text Chat is useful for exchanging brief messages and sending instructions. Text Chat is especially useful when you are connecting over a modem and have only one phone line. s Start Text Chat by clicking the Text Chat button on the LinkBar; for more information on starting LapLink services, see page 14. Sending messages A Text Chat window consists of two parts: r The upper part displays the messages you have sent to the remote user as well as those the remote user has sent to you. Each message is identified by the name of the computer from which it was sent. The lower part serves as a notepad on which you write your messages. It clears each time you send a message. r s A Text Chat window pops to the foreground on your screen whenever the remote user sends a message. To keep the Text Chat window from activating automatically, click Text Chat Options on the Options menu. Then clear Restore Text Chat Window Automatically. To send a message to the remote user: 1 Click the Text Chat window. 2 Type your message. Avoid pressing ENTER until your message is complete. To start a new paragraph, press CTRL+ENTER. 3 Press ENTER to send the message. Pasting text into your Text Chat window Instead of typing messages while connected, you can prepare them ahead of time and paste them into the Text Chat window as necessary. To paste text into a Text Chat window: 1 In Notepad or another Windows text editor, select the text and copy it, using the copy command in that program. 2 In LapLink, click the lower part of the Text Chat window. 3 Click Paste on the Edit menu. 28 Sending messages using Text Chat 29 Using Text Chat Read the messages from the remote computeras well as your ownin the upper part of the Text Chat window. Type your messages in the lower part. Press ENTER to send. Copying text from your Text Chat window You can copy part or all of a Text Chat conversation and paste it into another Windows program. To copy your Text Chat conversation: 1 In the upper part of the Text Chat window, highlight part of the text, or select the entire conversation by clicking Select All on the Edit menu. 2 Click Copy on the Edit menu. 3 Switch to another Windows program, and paste the text into that program. As a guest during Remote Control, you can carry on a Text Chat conversation with the host only by viewing the host screen in a window. (In full-screen view, you cannot see your own Text Chat window.) To arrange the Text Chat window beside the Remote Control window, click Tile Side by Side on the Window menu. << Go to topic summary s To reverse your latest editing action in the lower part of a Text Chat window, click Undo on the Edit menu. 29 LapLink Professional Quick Start Guide Viewing the online users guide and Help There are several resources available to help you find out more about LapLink Professional.

Go to illustration >> LapLink configures the ports it uses to connect to other computers automatically, during the installation. However, you might need to change port information if you have trouble connecting, if you change the hardware or software on your computer, or if you want to configure the speed of a connection or other connection properties. To change port information: 1 Click Port Setup on the Options menu. 2 Scroll through the list to verify that the ports you want to use are listed as Enabled. Enable a port if you want to use it to connect in LapLink. Disable a port if you do not plan to use it and want to stop getting warnings that the port is unavailable when you start LapLink. 3 To configure a port, click the Configure button with the port selected. See below for help on configuring different types of devices using this dialog box. s For more information on configuring ports, see the online help.
