Printing a job
1. Align your laptop computer (or other portable device equipped
with an IRDA-compliant FIR window) within 1 meter (3 feet)
maximum of the optional HP Fast InfraRed Receiver. The FIR
window must be at an angle of within +/- 15 degress relative to
the printer to ensure an effective connection for printing.
2. Print the job. The status indicator on the optional HP Fast
InfraRed Receiver lights up, and, after a short delay, the printer
control panel displays
PROCESSING JOB .
If the status indicator does not light up, realign the optional 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, make sure that all devices remain within the
range of operation to maintain the connection.
If the connection is interrupted before your print job is complete, the
optional HP Fast InfraRed Receiver status indicator turns off. You
have up to 40 seconds to correct the interruption and continue the job.
If the connection is resumed within this time, the status indicator lights
up again.
Note The connection is permanently broken if the sending port is moved out
of operation range or if anything passing between the ports blocks
transmission for more than 40 seconds. (This block could be a hand,
paper, or even direct sunlight). Depending on the size of the job, printing
with the optional HP Fast Infrared Receiver may be slower than printing
with a cable connected directly to the parallel port.
Interrupting and resuming printing
The job interrupt and resume feature lets you temporarily stop the job
that is currently printing in order to print another job through an FIR
connection. When the FIR job is finished printing, the interrupted job
resumes printing.
To interrupt the job at the printer, connect to the FIR port on the
printer and send a job to the printer. The printer stops printing the
current job when it reaches the end of the copy it is printing. The
printer then prints the job sent over the FIR connection. When the
printer is done printing that job, it resumes printing the original job
with multiple copies where it left off.
