Importing Music.

I had a similar problem. I did not get a USB cord with my phone. I found that if you insert the microSD card into your computer a folder opens that says Secure Digital Storage Device (E:). I have iTunes. I don't purchase music from the store (which is an option) but I download my cds to the program. If you highlight a song from the iTunes and then right click and select copy then open up the tab for the Secure Digital Storage Device (E:) then paste the item.
Remove the card from your computer and put the smaller card into your phone. Hit the menu button. Then hit the folder button located on the right side of the screen. Then select the more button. Then select the memory card. This will allow you to access the item you have on the card.
If you wish to download the item to the phone memory (meaning you can remove the card and the item will remain on the phone) you select the option button and hit copy - it will then give a prompt asking if you want to copy it to the handset memory or the memory card - select the handset memory. After this is complete you will be able to remove the microSD and still be able to access the item you downloaded.

The Memory TX is for fax transmission only, not for your print queue. Push the printer button and highlight the go button and select it. This will take your printer online (or if already online it will take it offline). If the copier was offline, it should start printing when you select go. All of this assuming that the IP address is correct and the print driver is installed on your PC.
