Infrared Problems

If you have problems with infrared communications
• Make sure the infrared light path is not blocked.
• Check settings in the Setup utility—from the System Devices menu, check that
Serial Port B (the infrared port) is enabled.
• For infrared communications, an infrared driver must be installed and the Setup
utility setting must be enabled. For details, refer to the drivers' Readme files
located in \OmniBook\drivers\Win95.
• Check that only one application is using the infrared port (Serial Port B).
• If you have a Standard IR and Fast IR machine communicating with each other,
make sure that they are set to the highest common speed (115200 BPS).
• Remove any PC Cards. An IRQ conflict is possible if PC Cards are plugged in.
If an infrared printer doesn't print
• In Windows Help, use the Print Troubleshooter.
