Fast Infrared (FIR) Port
The computer’s FIR (fast infrared) port located on
the rear panel allows you to transfer data to IR-
aware machines without cables. For example, you
can transfer data between two IR-capable
computers, or send data to an IR-aware printer
without using a cable.
The infrared port is IrDA-compliant, and can
transfer data at speeds of up to 4 megabits per
second (Mbps) at a distance of up to one meter.
To use the infrared port, position two IR-aware
devices such that their IR ports are no more than
one meter apart and offset no more than 15
degrees.
When the two computers are in position, simply
begin the data transfer as you normally would. See
your file transfer software for details.
