using a radio frequency; Regulated by conven-
tions called "profiles", Bluetooth enables commu-
nication between devices with the same profile.
This printer has the serial port profile built in.
A wireless communication protocol using infrared
transmission; When infrared is used, communica-
tion is wireless; however, a line of sight to the
infrared port is required. Since the various ver-
sions (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4) are regulated by
the transmission distance and speed, compatibil-
ity is often difficult. This printer is equipped with
IrDA Ver. 1.3, but it can communicate with devices
compatible with Ver. 1.2 and Ver. 1.3.
