Executing the Print Job
1
Align your portable computer (or other portable device
equipped with an IRDA-compliant IR window) within
1 meter (2 to 3 feet maximum) of the HP Fast InfraRed
Receiver. The IR window must be at an angle of +/- 15
degrees to ensure an effective connection for printing.
Figure 5 illustrates the required alignment of devices
necessary for printing.

Execute the print job. The status indicator on the HP Fast
InfraRed Receiver lights up, and, after a short delay, the
printer status panel displays a
PROCESSING JOB
message.
If the status indicator does not light up, realign the HP Fast
InfraRed Receiver with the IR port on the sending device,
re-send the print job, and maintain the alignment of all
devices as shown in Figure 5. If you have to move the
equipment (for example, to add paper), make sure that all
devices remain within the range of operation shown in
Figure 5. Only then is the required connection maintained. 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 resume the
connection and continue the job. If the connection is resumed
within this time, the status indicator lights up again.
Note
The connection is permanently broken if the sending port is
moved out of operating range (see Figure 5), or if anything
passing between the ports blocks transmission for more than
40 seconds. (This block could be a hand, paper, or even direct
sunlight). Depending on the size of the job, printing with the
HP Fast InfraRed Receiver may be slightly slower than printing
with a cable connected directly to the parallel port.
