Unit 3: Interface Specifications
INFRARED RAYS (IRDA)
Infrared communications is based on technology which is similar to entertainment remote control devices used in homes today. This technology offers a convient, interoperable, low power, and reliable way to connect computer and printer without the use of cables. The
The infrared tranmission of print data is transferred from the terminal to the printer in four phases:
(1) Connection, (2) Printer Status Check, (3) Data Transfer, (4) Disconnection.
The limitations of this interface type is that it requires a direct line of sight with a reading span of 30 degrees at a maximum distance of

BHT protocol is the communication procedure used to transmit files between DENSO data collection devices by adopting the response method using the ACK/NAK codes defined for the use with these types of devices. Note the IrDA parameters must be set according to PDA/DCS methods and appropriately configured to direct data transmission to the printer. Refer to the IrDA command settings in the Programming Reference document for this printer, as well as, documentation provided by the manufacturer of the data collection device for the proper steps. The appropriate firmware must be installed to function.
