IrDA Communication
The 4500THS printer comes with IrDA as a standard feature. For IrDA mode to work, Dip
Switch #1 must be in the <ON> position. The printer can be powered up by pressing the
power <On/Off> switch. If no IrDA connection is made, the printer will automatically
power down to a lower power level to conserve battery life. It will remain in a “sleep”
mode until an IrDA connection is made, at which time the printer will “wake” up and print
the requested data . Pressing the power switch again will turn the printer <OFF>. The table
below shows the required printer settings for IrDA mode. In order for the printer to be in
IrDA mode dip switch # 1 has to be On.
