HP 4600hdn 4600n manual Printing a job, Interrupting and resuming printing

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.
