Connecting an IR Device

Your computer has an IR (infrared) port for connecting an
infrared-equipped device wirelessly such as another computer, printer, or
PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

Follow this procedure to connect an IR device:

1. Under Windows, make sure that the IrDA Fast Infrared Port is set to

HP HSDL-2300/3600.

2. Make sure that the “COM Ports” and its “COM2 (FIR) setting ” items

are set properly in the SCU program. (See “Advanced Menu” in
Chapter 5 for information.)

3. When using the IR port:

Place the transmitting device where its IR port faces the IR port of
your computer within the effective range

− within ±20-degrees

vertical angle and within

±20-degrees horizontal angle at no greater

than 0.8~1.0 meter distance.
Place the receiving device where the IR port of your computer faces
its IR port within the effective range

− within ±15-degrees vertical

angle and within

±15-degrees horizontal angle at no greater than

0.8~1.0 meter distance.
