Align the Infrared Port of the computer to that of the printer at a distance
of less than 80cm. When printing from a mobile phone or PDA, place it at
a distance of less than 20cm.
The effective angle of the Infrared Port of the printer is about 10° from the central axis in both vertical
and horizontal directions.
The allowable distance of communication with the printer depends on the computer, mobile phone or
PDA you use. For this distance, refer to your computer, mobile phone or PDA manual.
When printing with the computer
• By pressing the RESUME/CANCEL button, you can print the same image data transmitted from
the mobile phone right before.
• Do not place any obstacle between the Infrared Ports of the printer and PDA, mobile phone or
computer. Data cannot be transmitted between them.
• During printing, be careful not to interrupt infrared communication with the printer. If it is
interrupted, turn off the printer and cancel the printing document from the print queue list in case of
the computer, and turn off only the printer in case of the mobile phone or PDA. Placing the pointer
on the Wireless Link icon (In Windows 98, click the Infrared icon) on the status bar or Control
Panel allows you to check whether IrDA transmission has been interrupted.
