System Requirements
• Hardware
• Both the primary and secondary devices must be equipped
with an IrDA-compliant IR component. Older, non-IrDA-
compliant devices may not be compatible with the
HP LaserJet 5P/5MP and 6P/6MP printers.
• Software
• The primary device must be loaded during boot-up with
software provided by the manufacturer for infrared operation.
• The primary device must be properly configured with an
infrared COM port, IRQ level, and base address value.
• The infrared port must be installed and selected in the
Printers section of the Windows Control Panel.
• Software drivers
• The IR driver for Windows 3.1 is available through hardcopy
fulfillment. The driver shipped is proprietary to Extended
Systems, Inc. (ESI) and is supported by Hewlett-Packard to
the level of identifying the cause as the ESI driver. Beyond
that, the call must be escalated to ESI. The ESI driver is not
available through HP’s Electronic Fulfillment.
• The IR driver for Windows 95 is the Microsoft IRDA supported
driver. It is available on the Microsoft electronic BBS. After
November 1995, machines manufactured with Windows 95
will already have this driver installed. Users must enable the
IR port on the PC. The Microsoft IrDA driver has a Tray Icon
that provides status and run options. It is Plug and Play and
polls the area for other IR devices within range.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that users turn off Plug and
Play and Polling when not in use or not needed to prevent
draining the battery.
• There is currently no IR support for Macintosh products
(October 96).
