Printing with the Infrared Port (Wireless Printing)

The infrared (IR) port is located on the lower right corner of the
printer. This port is compliant with the specifications determined by
the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). On the right side of the IR port is
a status light that indicates when the port is active. The IR port
transmits data at speeds of up to 4 MB per second. When the IR
connection is established, the IR status light comes on. If the
connection is broken, or when the print job is complete, the IR status
light goes off.

To use the IR port, you need the following:

A computer or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) equipped with an
IrDA-compliant IR port.

An infrared port driver that allows printing from the computer to
the printer using the IR port and the IrDA communication
protocol.

A printer driver to generate data that the printer can print.

Note

Check with your hardware or operating system manufacturer for the
correct port driver.
