Narrative:
I was with an IOE student who came over to the da-2Easy from [another aircraft] as a PIC. When you get [the] pre departure clearance on the [other aircraft]; the entire clearance is displayed on the screen. In the easy; because of the different screen; you have to scroll down to see the entire clearance. He copied the clearance on to the master document but didn't scroll past the squawk. So; when we briefed from what he wrote down; it read 'climb via SID'. The top altitude is 16;000 ft. So; that is what I set in the altitude alerter. To complicate matters; the passengers showed up 40 minutes early. After takeoff; climbing through 5;300 ft; ATC asked what altitude we were assigned. The pilot responded '16;000 ft.' ATC said we were supposed to 'climb via SID; except maintain 5;000 ft'. ATC then told us to continue climb to 16;000 ft. Once we got above 10;000 ft; I brought up the afis page with the pre departure clearance. I scrolled through to the bottom where it reads 'end of clearance'. It did read 'climb via SID; except maintain 5;000 ft.' when getting a clearance via pre departure clearance; make sure to scroll through until you see 'end of clearance'. Another option to enhance safety would be to install a printer; so we can print important information from the afis.
