Printing with the optional HP Fast InfraRed (FIR) Receiver
Printing a job using FIR
Depending on the size of the job, printing with the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver may be slower than printing with
a cable connected directly to the parallel por t.
To print a job
1 Align your laptop computer (or other por table device
equipped with an IrDA-compliant FIR window) within one
meter (three feet) maximum of the HP FIR Connect. The
FIR window must be at an angle of +/- 15 degrees
relative to the printer to ensure an effective connection
for printing.
Note
To prevent a broken connection while printing, make sure the
sending por t remains within operating range and that there is
nothing between the por ts, such as a hand, paper, or even
direct sunlight, to block transmission.
2 Print the job. The status indicator on the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver lights up, and, after a shor t 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.
If the connection is interrupted before your print job is complete, the 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.
