Infrared Parameters

Infrared Parameter allow you to choose the type of infrared link you want. Click on the arrow next to “Protocol” to display your options.

For example, choose IrDA (the standard established by the Infrared Data Association) for wireless printing, unless you are using a product that requires ASK (Amplitude Shift-Keying). Choose “Direct” if you always connect your hand-held computer to your printer with a cable.

Click on the arrow next to “Nickname” to choose a default name for your printer. Or type in any name you wish in the blank space.

Note: You must consult the manual that came with your hand-held or

￿notebook computer to set up IrDA. Setting up IrDA on the microFlash alone is not sufficient to create wireless communication between your

computer and printer.

A Word on IrDA

IrDA is the standard for wireless communication set by the Infrared Data Association. The O’Neil microFlash series of printers are the first ruggedized portable printers in the world to be “IrDA compliant.”

IrDA Settings

The max. IrDA baud is 38.4kbits for microFlash 2/3. The printers will receive IrDA data and print the data at the same time. If the IrDA session is broken while printing the printer will print VOID VOID VOID. The VOIDs can be removed if needed. For Instructions on removing the VOIDs contact O’Neil Product Development inc.

The max. IrDA baud is 115.2kbits for the microFlash 2t/2tcr/2i/2icr/4t/4tcr. The printers will receive IrDA data and wait for the IrDA session to end then print the data in the buffer. The IrDA data buffer is about 48kbytes. The max IrDA baud can be changed to 38.4kbits and the printer will receive and print at the same time. For receiving and printing at the same time for the microFlash 2t/2tcr/2i/2icr/4t/4tcr contact O’Neil Product development inc. for instructions on how to change.
