problems with the infrared printing feature
connection cannot be established or printer is taking too
long to print
Correct the problem by performing one or more of these options:
• Follow the instructions that came with the PowerBook to configure it
for infrared printing.
• Verify that the device is IrDA compliant. Look for an IrDA symbol on
the device or see the user’s guide for information.
• Verify that no bright light is shining directly into either infrared lens.
• Position the device no more than one meter (three feet) from the
printer. Align it within a 30-degree total angle from the printer’s
infrared lens, then verify the following:
- The device and printer are correctly aligned.
- The path between the two infrared devices is clear of obstacles.
- The devices’ infrared lenses are clean and free of dirt and grease.
infrared light is flashing
The flashing infrared light is not a signal that something is wrong with the
infrared print feature. It confirms that a connection has been established
between the printer and the laptop or notebook.
