To make an infrared connection

The infrared port provides a type of serial connection that doesn’t require cables— you just have to line up the device’s infrared port with the right rear of your OmniBook.

Keep the distance within about 3 feet (1 meter) for optimum performance. For example, you can establish a connection to an infrared printer by simply aiming the back of the OmniBook at the printer.

To print on an infrared printer

To connect to an infrared (IrDA-compatible) printer, set the OmniBook printer port to be the infrared printer port, LPT3. The Infrared Monitor provides visual status for infrared communications and helps you resolve infrared communication problems.

In Windows 95

You can disable infrared printing by unchecking the Enable infrared communication box in the Options tab.

3.Select the options you want:
