Infrared Port Not Responding
Situation Solution
The connection cannot be
established or the transmission
seems to be taking longer than
usual.
Make sure the device you are
using is IrDA-compliant; look for
an IrDA symbol on the device or
refer to the manual for the device
for IrDA specifications.
Make sure that the operating
system on your computer
includes an IR driver and your
application uses a HP LaserJet
5/5M/5N compatible printer
driver.
Make sure you have positioned
the device within the range of
operation and that no objects,
such as a finger, paper, books,
or bright light, are interfering with
the connection. Also make sure
the two IR ports are clean (free
from dirt and grease.)
Bright light of any kind (sunlight,
incandescent light, fluorescent
light, or light from an infrared
remote control, such as those
used for TVs and VCRs) shining
directly into one of the IR ports
may cause interference.
Position the device closer to the
printer’s IR pod.
