Printing a job

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

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

 

If the status indicator does not light up, realign the optional 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, make sure that all devices remain within the

 

range of operation to maintain the connection.

 

If the connection is interrupted before your print job is complete, the optional 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.

 

The connection is permanently broken if the sending port is moved out of operation range or

Note

 

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 optional 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 you temporarily stop the job that is currently printing in order to print another job through an FIR connection. When the FIR job is finished printing, the interrupted job resumes printing.

To interrupt the job at the printer, connect to the FIR port on the printer and send 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.
