Send to a printer

 

Before trying to send pages to a printer, make sure that the printer supports infrared (IR)

 

data transfer either using built-in IR or an add-on IR adapter. Your HP CapShare appliance

 

can send pages to most printers with IR ports. For best results, HP PCL-compatible or

 

JetSend-compatible printers are recommended.

 

 

 

If you send to a printer and your document does not print, check the printer for any errors.

Note

 

 

 

The HP CapShare appliance cannot detect if the printer is out of paper, has a paper jam,

 

 

or has any other error condition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Printer requirements

 

 

The HP CapShare appliance is compatible with most printers that have IR capability. In

 

order to send information to a printer, you must ensure that IR connectivity is available.

 

Use the infrared (IR) port

 

 

To use IR to connect the HP CapShare appliance to a printer, you simply point the

 

appliance toward the IR port on the printer and press

on the HP CapShare

 

appliance.

 

For more information about IR, go to the IrDA website at:

Recover from send errors

If the printer stops receiving a document for any reason, an error message appears on the HP CapShare appliance. For more information, see the “How do I” tab in the HP CapShare PC utility. If you have lost the connection, you must reconnect to the IR port within 20 seconds. When reconnected, the send continues where it left off. If the connection is broken for more than 20 seconds, you must send the page again in order to print it.

Print pages

Pages print as soon as the entire page has been sent. The pages are automatically rotated or scaled, if needed, to fit on the sheet of paper. If a document does not print, an error condition may have occurred in the printer.
