Printing with the Optional HP Fast
InfraRed Receiver
The HP Fast InfraRed Receiver enables wireless printing from any
IRDA-compliant portable device (such as a laptop computer) to the
HP LaserJet 4050, 4050 N, 4050 T, or 4050 TN printer.
The printing connection is maintained by positioning the sending
infrared (FIR) port within operating range. Note that the connection
can be blocked by objects such as a hand, paper, direct sunlight, or
any bright light shining into either FIR port.
Note For more information, see the user guide that came with the HP Fast
InfraRed Receiver.
Setting Up to Print with Windows 9x
Before launching the InfraRed Driver, complete the following steps:
1 From the Printers folder, select the HP LaserJet 4050, 4050 N,
4050 T, or 4050 DN as your default printer.
2 While in the same Printers folder, choose Properties/Details,
and make sure that Virtual Infrared LPT Port is selected.

Printing a Job
1 Align your laptop computer (or other portable device equipped
with an IRDA-compliant FIR window) within 2 to 3 feet (1 meter)
maximum of the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver. The FIR window
must be at an angle of +/- 15 degrees to ensure an effective
connection for printing.
2 Print the job. The status indicator on the HP Fast InfraRed
Receiver lights up, and, after a short delay, the printer status
panel displays
PROCESSING JOB .
If the status indicator does not light up, realign the HP Fast InfraRed
Receiver with the FIR port on the sending device, resend the print
job, and maintain the alignment of all devices. If you have to move
the equipment (for example, to add paper), make sure that all
devices remain within the range of operation to maintain the
connection.
