TROUBLESHOOTING

The HP Infrared Adapter’s light is off or blinking

• Make sure that the printer is within 1 m (3 ft) of the

PC/notebook, with the swivel head of the HP Infrared
Adapter pointing directly at the infrared port of the
PC/notebook.

• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the

infrared ports on the printer and the PC/notebook.

• Make sure that the infrared port of the PC/notebook

is IrDA-compliant. Look for the IrDA logo in the
documentation for the PC.

• Make sure that the settings for COM, IRQ, and I/O

address are correct.

• Make sure that there are no other infrared devices

operating in the immediate area. It is also possible
that sunlight or bright artificial light can interfere
with infrared communication.

• Clean the lenses on the HP Infrared Adapter and the

PC’s infrared port.

The printer is on and the HP Infrared Adapter’s light

If none of the procedures described above or in the

HP DeskJet 340 Printer User’s Guide

or in the on-line

help that comes with the printer driver solves the
problem, or if the printer

does

work with a cable, try

resetting the printer to default settings.
