devices, such as printers or other computers.

• Make sure the infrared ports of your notebook and the other device lie in as straight a
line as possible. The two ports should be no more than 1 meter apart, with no
obstructions between them. Sunlight, heat from nearby equipment, or other sources of
infrared radiation can also cause transmission errors.
• To check the status of communications, click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other
Hardware, Wireless Link.

from your applications as you would to any other printer.
