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 correct the interruption 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 or if anything passing between the ports blocks
transmission for more than 40 seconds. (This block could be a hand,
paper, or evendirect sunlight.) Dependingon the size of the job, printing
with the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver may be slower than printing with a
cable connected directly to the parallel port.
Interrupting and resuming printing
The job interrupt and resume feature lets a user temporarily stop a job
that may be currently printing in order to print another job using the
FIR port. When the new job is finished printing, the interrupted job
resumes printing.
A user can only interrupt jobs that are printing and collating multiple
copies by connecting to the infrared (FIR) port on the printer and
sending a job to the printer. The printer stops printing the current job
when it reaches the end of the copy it is printing. The printer then
prints the job sent over the FIR connection. When the printer is done
printing that job, it resumes printing the original job with multiple
copies where it left off.
