Infrared Parameters
Infrared Parameter allow you to choose the type of infrared link you
want. Click on the arrow next to “Protocol” to display your options.
For example, choose IrDA (the standard established by the Infrared Data
Association) for wireless printing, unless you are using a product that
requires ASK (Amplitude Shift-Keying). Choose “Direct” if you always
connect your hand-held computer to your printer with a cable.
Click on the arrow next to “Nickname” to choose a default name for your
printer. Or type in any name you wish in the blank space.
Note: You must consult the manual that came with your hand-held or
notebook computer to set up IrDA. Setting up IrDA on the microFlash
alone is not sufficient to create wireless communication between your
computer and printer.
A Word on IrDA
IrDA is the standard for wireless communication set by the Infrared Data
Association. The O’Neil microFlash series of printers are the first
ruggedized portable printers in the world to be “IrDA compliant.”
IrDA Settings
The max. IrDA baud is 38.4kbits for microFlash 2/3. The printers will
receive IrDA data and print the data at the same time. If the IrDA session
is broken while printing the printer will print VOID VOID VOID. The
VOIDs can be removed if needed. For Instructions on removing the
VOIDs contact O’Neil Product Development inc.
The max. IrDA baud is 115.2kbits for the microFlash
2t/2tcr/2i/2icr/4t/4tcr. The printers will receive IrDA data and wait for the
IrDA session to end then print the data in the buffer. The IrDA data
buffer is about 48kbytes. The max IrDA baud can be changed to
38.4kbits and the printer will receive and print at the same time. For
receiving and printing at the same time for the microFlash
2t/2tcr/2i/2icr/4t/4tcr contact O’Neil Product development inc. for
instructions on how to change.
