IR interface
The FIR port is located on the lower right corner of the 2200 printer or is
available as an accessory on the 4100 printer. This port is compliant
with the specifications determined by the IrDA. On the right side of the
FIR port is a status light that indicates when the port is active. The FIR
port transmits data at speeds of up to 4 MB per second. When the
infrared (IR) connection is established, the FIR status light comes on. If
the connection is broken, or when the print job is complete, the FIR
status light goes off.
Note
This feature applies to the LJ 2200 and 4100 only.
Using the FIR port
To use the FIR port, you need the following:
• A computer or PDA equipped with an IrDA-compliant IR port
• An infrared port driver that allows printing from the computer to the
printer using the FIR port and the IrDA communication protocol
• A computer with a printer driver installed to generate data that the
printer can print
Note
Check with your computer hardware or operating system
manufacturer for the correct port driver.
To operate the FIR port, you need to meet the following conditions:
• A portable computer (or other portable device equipped with an
IrDA-compliant IR window) aligned within 1 meter (2 to 3 feet
maximum) of the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver.
• The IR window must be at an angle of +/- 15 degrees to ensure an
effective connection for printing.
