Printing documents

Printing documents

Printing is possible only from the Notes applica- tion, using an IrDA compatible infrared port.

The communicator supports direct printing to the HP LaserJet 5P, a PCL printer, and the HP La- serJet 5MP, a Postscript printer. Other printers may be used if the proper printer drivers are first downloaded onto the communicator. These printer drivers may be installed with the Install/ Remove software function found in the System application.

For more information on the printers supported, read the readme.txt file on the diskette supplied in the communicator sales package, or see the Club.Nokia home page at www.club.nokia.com.

For specific information on the printer you are using, please refer to the manufacturer’s User’s Guide.

To establish an infrared connection:

•Make sure that the communicator’s infrared port faces the infrared port of the printer.

‚Keep the infrared connection clear. In the event the infrared connection is obstructed for too long (for example, something is moved be- tween the infrared sensors or the communica- tor is moved), printing is interrupted.

ƒTo print a document, open the document, press Print/Send and select Print.

After the communicator has checked that you do not already have an active PC connection, it starts to scan for a printer. Because you can only have one active connection, you cannot print while you are transferring files from the commu- nicator to a PC. If the printer cannot be found, a failure note is shown and the editor view re- turns. If the correct printer is found, the printer driver is selected automatically and the printing view shows the name of the document and the selected printer.

„Press Start to start printing.

Printing problems

Though the communicator may detect a con- nected printer, certain complications might still occur.

If the printer found is not recognized:

Select the correct printer driver manually. You can choose another printer after pressing Printers.

If the printer found is not recognized, and the communicator does not have the correct driver for the printer, you can try to print the document using one of the available printer drivers.
