IrDA-compatible devices, such as another computer or a
printer, without the use of a cable. (See Figure 2-4 on
page 12 for location)
It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out
this form of communication, both devices must be
placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each
other without obstruction. The devices must also be
separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for
maximum performance.

Be careful not to scratch the infrared port lens.
Scratches, dirt, or other surface marks can
degrade operation.
