IR Communications
Printers equipped for infrared (IR) communications are
identified by a small “IR” logo under the unit’s IR window.
IR allows wireless communications between the printer
and the host terminal. IR units can also communicate
with a cable as detailed above, however, IR functions are
disabled when the cable is plugged in. Encore 2
units
with the IR option can be configured to conform to the
standard IrDA communications protocol
Linking a Printer to an IrDA Host
IrDA compliant terminals will automatically initiate
communications to the printer. First insure that there is a
direct line of sight between the printer and the terminal
that will be sending data. The IR window on the front of
the Encore 2
must face the corresponding window on
the terminal to properly send and receive signals. An
IrDA compliant terminal will seek out any linkable devices
and establish communications between them, even
turning the printer on if necessary.
