Printing a job using FIR
Depending on the size of the job, printing with the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver might be slower than printing with a cable connected directly to the parallel port.
To print a job
1Align your laptop computer (or other portable device equipped with an
degrees relative to the product to ensure an effective connection for printing.
Note
To prevent a broken connection while printing, make sure the sending port remains within operating range and that there is nothing between the ports, such as a hand, paper, or even direct sunlight, to block transmission.
2 Print the job. The status indicator on the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver lights up, and, after a short delay, the product status bar 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.
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.
