Infrared Adapter: If infrared communication stops or does not occur, check the
following:
• Communication distance: The distance between the two infrared ports
should be 3 meters (10 ft.) or less. If communication does not occur between
ports, move the ports closer together.
• Make sure both ports are stable. Make sure the computer is on a level
surface.
• Make sure the angle of communication between the two infrared ports is
within 15 degrees of either side of an imaginary line drawn between the two
infrared ports.
• Make sure there is no bright light, such as direct sunshine, interfering with
communication.
• Make sure no objects are placed between the two infrared ports.
Parallel/USB Interface Option: Check to make sure the parallel/USB interface
option card is securely connected to the printer system board. See

• Make sure the NT (no tabs) flag is included in the capture statement.
For Macintosh users:
• The printer may need an optional internal print server to allow Macintosh
connection.
