About IrSimple™

■What is IrSimple™?

IrSimple™ is a high-speed infrared communication protocol that permits high-speed data transfer. It was adopted in August 2005 as an international standard by the IrDA® (Infrared Data Association®), which is the standardization body for infrared technology.

IrSimple uses the same physical interfaces (SIR/FIR) as the existing IrDA standard and has the following 2 communication modes:

zUnidirectional

In this mode, data is only sent in one direction: from the sending device (primary node). Problems that arise during communication cannot be corrected.

zBidirectional

This is a bidirectional mode in which the receiving device (secondary node) responds to data sent from the sending device (primary node) by sending the outcome of the data reception or requesting a resend, etc. This allows problems that arise during communication to be corrected.

■What is IrSimpleShot™ (IrSS™)?

This is a generic name given to unidirectional IrSimple™ communication.

■IrSimple™ compatibility on the MP-300

The MP-300 supports both IrSimpleShot communication mode and bidirectional communication mode.

■Restrictions on IrSimple™ on the MP-300

zThe MP-300 can only operate as a receiving device (secondary node). zThe MP-300 will only receive IrSimpleShot communication from a sending

device equipped with a high-speed infrared communication function (FIR). (The MP-300 does not support IrSimpleShot communication using SIR.)

zWhen a sending device equipped with a high-speed infrared communication function (FIR) uses FIR to make an IrSimpleShot transmission to the MP-300, the MP-300 can only receive data up to 1 MB in size. (It cannot receive files larger than 1 MB.)

Note also that, depending on the transmission conditions (transmitted packet size, etc.), the MP-300 may be unable to receive data from a sending device even if it meets the above requirements.
