Printing with the Infrared Port (Wireless Printing)
The infrared (IR) port is located on the lower right corner of the printer. This port is compliant with the specifications determined by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). On the right side of the IR port is a status light that indicates when the port is active. The IR port transmits data at speeds of up to 4 MB per second. When the IR connection is established, the IR status light comes on. If the connection is broken, or when the print job is complete, the IR status light goes off.
