IrDA | A wireless communication protocol using infrared | ||
| transmission; When infrared is used, communica- | ||
| tion is wireless; however, a line of sight to the | ||
| infrared port is required. Since the various ver- | ||
| sions (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4) are regulated by | ||
| the transmission distance and speed, compatibil- | ||
| ity is often difficult. This printer is equipped with | ||
| IrDA Ver. 1.3, but it can communicate with devices | ||
| compatible with Ver. 1.2 and Ver. 1.3. |
