General Information on
Configuring Your Print Server
for IR
If you wish to print via infrared to an IrDA-
capable printer, you need to redirect an existing
printer driver to use the infrared printer port. You
can either change an existing printer driver or
install a new printer driver and connect it to an
active IrDA port.

printer. Ensure that printing utilities are available
and that the generic driver type (PCL, PostScript)
matches the target printer.

Position the infrared-equipped printer so
that the infrared window is in line with
the infrared port on your Windows CE
device. The infrared devices must be lined
up within 3 feet (1 meter) of each other in
order to print.
2.
From within an application (such as
Pocket Word), click File and then select
Print. Verify that Infrared is selected in
the Port menu.
3.
Click OK to send your print job.
Using the IR Transceiver
Position the infrared port of your portable
computer or mobile device within three feet (one
meter) of the IR Transceiver’s infrared window,
leaving an unobstructed path between the two
units.
Note: Palm, Windows CE or other third party
emulation compatible devices will need an IR
print utility, such as those supplied by Stevens
Creek (www.stevenscreek.com), Bachmann
(Bachmannsoftware.com) or ISComplete
(ISComplete.com).
