Printing Basics: Infrared (Ir) Printing
Using Infrared with a PowerBook
If your PowerBook is equipped with infrared technology that uses
the IrDA protocol, you can establish wireless TCP/IP or AppleTalk
connection.
For instructions, refer to one of the following:
• Reference guide or instructions that came with the PowerBook
• Manufacturer’s web site or support telephone number
• Infrared Data Association (IrDA) web site at: http://www.irda.org
Printing from a PowerBook
1 Make sure the printer is turned on.
2 Locate the infrared lens on the PowerBook.
3 Align the PowerBook’s infrared lens with the printer’s infrared
lens. Position the PowerBook up to 3 feet (1 meter) from the
printer and within a 30–degree total angle from the printer’s
infrared lens.
• The path between the two infrared devices must be clear of
obstacles.
• When the two infrared devices are lined up correctly, the
infrared light on the printer will begin to blink. This indicates
that a connection has been established between the two
devices.
4 Select your printer using the Chooser . See “Choosing Your
Printer” on page 5 for instructions.
Note: If the PowerBook is moved out of range of the printer’s
infrared lens at any time during the printing process, the infrared
light may turn off and the printer may stop printing. If you realign
the devices within approximately 3–30 seconds, the print job will
resume.
