Fast Infrared (FIR) Port

The computer’s FIR (fast infrared) port located on the rear panel allows you to transfer data to IR- aware machines without cables. For example, you can transfer data between two IR-capable computers, or send data to an IR-aware printer without using a cable.

The infrared port is IrDA-compliant, and can transfer data at speeds of up to 4 megabits per second (Mbps) at a distance of up to one meter.

To use the infrared port, position two IR-aware devices such that their IR ports are no more than one meter apart and offset no more than 15 degrees.

When the two computers are in position, simply begin the data transfer as you normally would. See your file transfer software for details.
