Once the icon is on the desktop (or saved elsewhere), printer options 
need to be manually configured. This step is essentially the same as 
selecting 
Configure
 after setting up a printer in the Chooser. To set the 
options, highlight the Desktop Printer icon and select

Printing a job
1
Align your laptop computer (or other portable device equipped 
with an IRDA-compliant FIR window) within 1 meter (3 feet) 
maximum of the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver. The FIR window 
must be at an angle of within +/- 15 degrees relative to the printer 
to ensure an effective connection for printing.
2
Print the job. The status indicator on the HP Fast InfraRed 
Receiver lights up, and, after a short delay, the printer status 
panel displays 
PROCESSING JOB
.
If the status indicator does not light up, realign the HP Fast InfraRed 
Receiver with the FIR port on the sending device, resend the print job, 
and maintain the alignment of all devices. If you have to move the 
equipment (for example, to add paper), make sure that all devices 
remain within the range of operation to maintain the connection.
If the connection is interrupted before your print job is complete, the 
HP Fast InfraRed Receiver status indicator turns off. You have up to 
40 seconds to correct the interruption and continue the job. If the 
connection is resumed within this time, the status indicator lights up 
again.
Note
The connection is permanently broken if the sending port is moved out 
of operating range or if anything passing between the ports blocks 
transmission for more than 40 seconds. (This block could be a hand, 
paper, or even direct sunlight.) Depending on the size of the job, printing 
with the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver may be slower than printing with a 
cable connected directly to the parallel port.
