| If the connection is interrupted before your print job is complete, the |
| HP Fast InfraRed Receiver status indicator turns off. You have up to |
| 40 seconds to correct the interruption and continue the job. If the |
| connection is resumed within this time, the status indicator lights up |
| again. |
|
|
Note | The connection is permanently broken if the sending port is moved out |
| of operating range or if anything passing between the ports blocks |
| transmission for more than 40 seconds. (This block could be a hand, |
| paper, or even direct sunlight.) Depending on the size of the job, printing |
| with the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver may be slower than printing with a |
| cable connected directly to the parallel port. |

Interrupting and resuming printing
The job interrupt and resume feature lets a user temporarily stop a job that may be currently printing in order to print another job using the FIR port. When the new job is finished printing, the interrupted job resumes printing.
A user can only interrupt jobs that are printing and collating multiple copies by connecting to the infrared (FIR) port on the printer and sending a job to the printer. The printer stops printing the current job when it reaches the end of the copy it is printing. The printer then prints the job sent over the FIR connection. When the printer is done printing that job, it resumes printing the original job with multiple copies where it left off.
