To print with the infrared port
1.
Make sure that the printer's READY indicator is lit, which means
that the printer is ready to print.
2.
Align the laptop computer within two or three feet (one meter),
and 30 degrees of the printer's infrared port.
This example will be described using a laptop computer, but any
device equipped with an IrDA-compliant infrared port can be used.
3.
Perform the necessary procedure on the laptop computer to start
sending data through its infrared port and printing.
Note
• Once you start printing, the status light above the printer's infrared port
will turn on to indicate that data is being received. Printing a very
complex document or using a software spooler on the laptop may delay
the time it takes for the status light to turn on.
• If the status light fails to come on, try realigning the laptop's port with
the printer's port and try printing again.
• If you have to move the printer (to add paper, etc.) or the laptop, make
sure you keep the two pieces of equipment close enough to maintain the
connection.
• The printer's infrared port status light turns off if the connection is
broken before the print job is complete. If this happens, you have
anywhere from three to 40 seconds to re-establish the connection
(indicated when the status light comes back on) and continue the job.
• Separating the printer and laptop too far or allowing the path between
the two pieces of equipment to be broken (by paper, objects, or even
direct sunlight) for too long can cause the connection to be broken
completely. If this happens, restart the print job.
• When you use this printer with the second paper cassette unit attached,
place the laptop computer horizontally across from the printer's infrared
port.
• If infrared port printing fails completely, check to make sure that the
device you are printing from is IrDA-compliant, that it is installed with
proper software, and that its proper port is selected for printing.
