devices. The unit also comes with a harness and the IrDA controller
board. Once these have been connected to the printer’s controller
board, the IrDA unit is ready for operation.

Instructions that come with the unit.
Using the Infrared Port
The optional infrared port of this printer complies with the
specifications stipulated by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). A
status light in front of the infrared unit indicates when the port is
active.
The infrared port can be used with a wide variety of IrDA-compliant
portable devices. The actual method you should use for printing
depends on the type of device and the operating system it uses.
Consult the user documentation that comes with the portable
equipment for details on printing with it.
The infrared transfers data similarly to a serial port, except it does not
use a cable and it operates at speeds of up to 4Mbps per second.
