IR PORT
The IR port on the front of your system lets your NEC Versa 6200 Series
computer communicate with other devices that also use infrared technology.
The IR port is Infrared Data Association (IrDA) compatible. You can easily
transfer files between your NEC Versa and an IR-equipped desktop, or print
to an IR-equipped printer without using cables.
IR transfer speed ranges from 2.4 Kbit/sec to 4.0 Mbit/sec. You can limit
the IR transfer speed through the Infrared icon in the Windows 95 control
panel. Double click the icon and select the options to access the speed
parameter.
Your NEC Versa transfers data at the speed compatible with the receiving
device.
For the infrared technology to work, you need to follow these guidelines:
„
Position the NEC Versa no more than three feet way from the IR periph-
eral device you are using.
„
Make sure there is no greater than a 30° angle between the computer and
the device.
