Printing with the optional HP Fast InfraRed Receiver

The HP Fast InfraRed Receiver enables wireless printing from any IrDA-compliant portable device (such as a laptop computer) to the HP Color LaserJet 4550, 4550N, 4550DN, or 4550HDN printer.

The printing connection is maintained by positioning the sending infrared (FIR) port within operating range. Note that the connection can be blocked by objects such as a hand, paper, direct sunlight, or any bright light shining into either FIR port.

Note	For more information, see the user guide that came with the HP Fast
	InfraRed Receiver.

Setting up to print with Windows 9x/NT

Before launching the InfraRed Driver, complete the following steps:

1From the Printers folder, select the HP Color LaserJet 4550, 4550N, 4550DN, or 4550HDN as your default printer.

2Choose Properties/Details for the HP Color LaserJet 4550, 4550N, 4550DN, or 4550HDN printer, and make sure that Virtual Infrared LPT Port is selected.

3Select the file to print.

Printing a job

1Align your laptop computer (or other portable device equipped with an IrDA-compliant FIR window) within 2 to 3 feet (1 meter) maximum of the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver. The FIR window angle must be within +/- 15 degrees to ensure an effective connection for printing.

2Print the job. The status indicator on the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver lights up, and, after a short delay, the printer status panel displays PROCESSING JOB.

If the status indicator does not light up, realign the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver with the FIR port on the sending device, resend the print job, and maintain the alignment of all devices. If you have to move the equipment (for example, to add paper), make sure that all devices remain within the range of operation to maintain the connection.
