Printing with the optional HP Fast InfraRed
Receiver
The HP Fast InfraRed Receiver enables wireless printing from any
IrDA-compliant portable device (such as a laptop computer) to the
HP Color LaserJet 4550, 4550N, 4550DN, or 4550HDN printer.
The printing connection is maintained by positioning the sending
infrared (FIR) port within operating range. Note that the connection
can be blocked by objects such as a hand, paper, direct sunlight, or
any bright light shining into either FIR port.
Note For more information, see the user guide that came with the HP Fast
InfraRed Receiver.

If the status indicator does not light up, realign the HP Fast InfraRed
Receiver with the FIR port on the sending device, resend the print job,
and maintain the alignment of all devices. If you have to move the
equipment (for example, to add paper), make sure that all devices
remain within the range of operation to maintain the connection.
