Infrared Port (IrDA) (on selected models)

The infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication
with infrared-equipped devices or computers. This allows easy wireless synchronization
with PDAs or mobile phones and even wireless printing to printers. If your office supports
IrDA networking, you can have wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there
is a direct line of sight to an IrDA node. Small offices can use IrDA technology to share a printer between
several closely placed Notebook PCs and even send files to each other without a network.
