Infrared Port (IrDA) (front side or right side depending on model)
The infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication with
infrared-equipped devices or computers. This allows easy wireless synchronization with PDAs
or mobile phones and even wireless printing to printers. If your ofce supports IrDA networking,
you can have wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there is a direct line of sight to
an IrDA node. Small ofces can use IrDA technology to share a printer between several closely
placed Notebook PCs and even send les to each other without a network.
