Do I need to install the Pocket Printer A6 on my PC if I only want to use
it on my PDA?
No. However, you will need to use your computer to install the Pocket Printer A6
driver onto your PDA. To do this, locate and double click on the
IrPrintA6.prc
file located in the root directory of the
Pocket Printer A6 Driver CD
. Your
HotSync Manager Install Tool
should open, informing you that the next time
you HotSync your PDA, the driver will be installed. Click the
Done
button on the
Install Tool window. Next,
HotSync
your PDA, and the driver will install. Next,
tap the
Home
button until
all
shows in the upper right corner. Scroll down, and
you will see an icon for the
A6 IrPrint
on your PDA (if the driver is properly
installed.)
If you are having difficulty printing with your A6 from your Palm:
Turn off the power to the printer.
Click HOME on your PDA until you have ALL in the upper right corner of your PDA
screen.
Turn PDA off, and then back on.
Turn the printer back on and wait for the ready light to illuminate solid. If the
ready light does not illuminate solid, change the batteries or use the power
supply.
Find and Click on the SiPix IrPrint icon.
Click on IrDiscover and ensure that your PDA's IR port is 5"-9" from the printers
IR port facing in the correct direction; this is the optimal range for
communication.
If IrDiscover is successful, it should list the following:
Printer
Compact Printer
IrLPT
Click OK then try printing following the printing instructions.
NOTE: We recommend using only high-quality alkaline batteries with your PDA.
Rechargeable batteries do not supply sufficient voltage and may not trigger low
battery warnings properly.
