on). If the status light does not turn on, realign the port on your
portable equipment with the port on the printer, resend the
print job and stay within the range of operation during printing.
4.
If you have to move the device, make sure you stay within the
range of operation to maintain the connection. If the connection
is interrupted before your print job is complete, the IR port
status light will turn off. You have from 3 to 40 seconds
(depending on the host implementation) to correct the
interruption and continue the job. In this case, the IR port
status light turns back on.
5.
The connection can be permanently broken (interrupted for more
than 3 to 40 seconds) if the “sending” IR port is moved out of the
range of operation or if anything passes between the two ports to
block the transmission, such as a hand or piece of paper, or even
direct sunlight. In this case, the job needs to be reprinted.
If you still have problems printing, make sure you are using an
IrDA-compliant device and proper software and have selected the
proper port for printing. See "Infrared Port Not Responding" on page 71.
