Performing Communication

There are a variety of host communication options available with the PDT 7200 terminal.

IrDA Communication

The PDT 7200 has an IrDA port on the base of the terminal's handle which enables
communication with another IrDA-compliant device.
To perform IrDA communications, align the terminal with the other device via the IR
communications port:
1. Power on the terminal and the host.
2. Align the IR port on base of the terminal's handle directly with the IR port on host
IrDA device.
3. Initiate communication according to your application's requirements.
Communicating with Printers
The PDT 7200 communicates with IrDA-compliant peripherals (e.g., Comtec and O'Neil
printers) through the IrDA interface in the base of the terminal. To print, point the base of
the PDT 7200 handle at the IrDA-compliant printer from a maximum distance of 39 inches
[1 meter] and run the application's print function.

Cradle Communication

The cradle enables communications between the PDT 7200 and a computer, printer,
modem, or other peripheral device. See
instructions on connecting the cradle to the host device and performing host
communication with the cradle.
