Printing with the FIR port

	The optional FIR port enables wireless printing to the product from any portable device
	(such as a laptop computer) that is compliant with IrDA (Infrared Data Association)
	standards.
	The printing connection is maintained by positioning the sending FIR port within
	operating range. Note that the connection can be blocked by objects such as a hand,
	media, direct sunlight, or any bright light shining into the sending or receiving FIR port.

Note	For more information, see the user guide that came with the FIR port. If you do not have
	infrared software installed, contact your computer manufacturer for drivers and installation
	instructions.
