HP 309971-001 manual Setting Up an Infrared Transmission

Communication Devices

Infrared signals are sent through an invisible beam of infrared light and require an unobstructed line of sight path.

Linking to an infrared device

The infrared port supports both low-speed connections of up to

115kilobits per second (Kbps) and high-speed connections of up to 4 Mbps. Infrared performance may vary depending on the performance of infrared peripherals, distance between infrared devices, and applications used.

Setting Up an Infrared Transmission

For information about using infrared software, refer to your operating system Help file.

To set up infrared devices for optimal transmission:

Prepare the infrared ports on both devices for transmission.

Position the devices so that their infrared ports face one another at a distance no greater than 1 meter (3.3 feet).

Position the ports so that they face one another directly. Because the maximum capture angle is 30 degrees, the ports must be aligned no more than 15 degrees off-center.
