Hint
If you set Enable IrDA Communications When Windows Starts, then the
infrared link will always be available when Windows is running, and you will
need only to align the infrared ports to communicate.

To print on an infrared printer

1. To connect to an infrared (IrDA-compatible) printer, install the correct
printer driver and set the OmniBook printer port to be the infrared printer
port, LPT3. See
2. Align the infrared ports as described above.
3. Turn on the Ir Monitor as described above. You can print to an infrared
printer only while Windows and the Infrared Monitor are running.
4. Print from your application as you normally would.

To disable infrared printing

Clear the Enable IrDA box.
Note
Infrared communications work with a printer only. To make an infrared
connection with other devices (such as another OmniBook or other PC), you
need supplementary communications software. To find out which programs
have been currently tested with the OmniBook, call HP First at
(800) 333-1917. You must have a fax machine to receive the information.

Linking Computers

To link the OmniBook to another computer (to share files, drives, or
printers), you need supplementary communications software.

Connecting a CD-ROM Drive and Other SCSI Devices

The Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) port lets you connect CD-
ROM drives, hard disk drives, tape drives, and other SCSI devices to your
OmniBook.
