HP Fast InfraRed  
Receiver  
Overview  
Thank you for purchasing the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver.  
This device is an infrared (IR) adapter that complies with the  
communications protocol specifications established by the  
Infrared Data Association (IrDA).  
CAUTION  
Only connect the HP Fast Infrared Receiver to an HP LaserJet  
printer or mopier. Connecting the HP Fast Infrared Receiver to  
a different device may damage the device.  
The HP Fast InfraRed Receiver enables wireless printing  
from any IrDA-compliant portable device (such as a portable  
computer) to HP LaserJet printers and mopiers equipped for  
fast serial infrared operation.  
Because this printer has HP JetSend Communications  
Technology built in, the HP Fast Infrared Receiver also allows  
wireless printing from any HP JetSend-enabled IR sending  
appliance.  
EN  
1
 
 
The printing connection is maintained by positioning the  
sending IR port within operating range of the receiving IR  
port (see “Executing the Print Job” on page 10). Note that the  
connection can be blocked by objects such as a hand, paper,  
direct sunlight, or any bright light shining into either IR port.  
System Requirements  
In order to print with the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver, you will  
need:  
z

z
HP LaserJet printer or mopier equipped with fast serial  
infrared capability  
IrDA-compliant portable or other IR-capable host

An HP JetDirect network configuration page will also print  
for networked printers and mopiers.  
A configuration summary prints. On the first page of the  
printout, under Installed Personalities and Options, check  
for “IR POD (IrDA-Compliant).”  
The HP Fast InfraRed Receiver can be placed on a table or  
attached to the side of the printer using the Velcro fasteners  
shown in Figure 3 on page 7.  
To attach the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver on the side of the  
printer, continue with steps 1 and 2.  
1
Attach one Velcro faster to the round depression on the  
underside of the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver (see  
Figure 3).  
2
Attach the remaining Velcro fastener to the side of the  
printer (see Figure 3).  
When the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver is situated on the  
printer, it should be close to the printer’s front edge as shown  
in Figure 4. This location allows for the largest possible area  
in which the portable computer’s IR port can operate. The  
required alignment of devices is described in “Executing the  
Print Job” on page 10.

Executing the Print Job  
1
Align your portable computer (or other portable device  
equipped with an IrDA-compliant IR window) within  
1 meter (2 to 3 feet maximum) of the HP Fast InfraRed  
Receiver. The IR window must be at an angle of +/- 15  
degrees to ensure an effective connection for printing.  
Figure 5 illustrates the required alignment of devices  
necessary for printing.

2
Execute the print job. The status indicator on the HP Fast  
InfraRed Receiver lights up, and, after a short delay, the  
printer status panel displays a PROCESSING JOB  
message.  
If the status indicator does not light up, realign the HP Fast  
InfraRed Receiver with the IR port on the sending device,  
devices as shown in Figure 5. If you have to move the  
equipment (for example, to add paper), make sure that all  
devices remain within the range of operation shown in  
Figure 5. Only then is the required connection maintained. If  
the connection is interrupted before your print job is  
complete, the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver status indicator  
turns off. You have up to 40 seconds to resume the  
connection and continue the job. If the connection is resumed  
within this time, the status indicator lights up again.  
Note  
The connection is permanently broken if the sending port is  
moved out of operating range (see Figure 5), or if anything  
passing between the ports blocks transmission for more than  
40 seconds. (This block could be a hand, paper, or even direct  
sunlight). Depending on the size of the job, printing with the  
HP Fast InfraRed Receiver may be slightly slower than printing  
with a cable connected directly to the parallel port.

Handling and Care  
The HP Fast InfraRed Receiver is a delicate electronic device  
that should be treated with the same care as your printer. In  
addition, follow these precautions at all times:  
z
Avoid discharging static electricity to the HP Fast  
InfraRed Receiver.  
z
Do not place objects on the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver.  
Cleaning the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver  
Always keep the device’s IR window free from dust and  
grease.  
To remove dust from the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver’s  
surface, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Hardened dirt may be  
removed with a cloth slightly dampened in soapy water.  
Do not allow water to get into openings on the device.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners, acrylic or lacquer paint  
thinners, and cleansers with an acetone or solvent base,  
such as MDC or EDC. These will damage the HP Fast  
InfraRed Receiver’s plastic case.

(FCC) Statement  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the  
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the  
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a residential  
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate  
radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful  
interference to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference  
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by  
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to  
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following  
measures:  
z
z
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and  
receiver.  
z
z
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different  
from that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician  
for help.  
Compliance to these regulations requires the use of shielded  
cables. Changes or modifications to the equipment not  
expressly approved by Hewlett-Packard could void the user's  
authority to operate it.

Warranty  
HP warrants that the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver will be free  
from defects, and will meet the Infrared Receiver  
specifications as presented by HP at the time of original  
purchase, for one year. Under this warranty HP will, at its sole  
option, repair or replace any Infrared Receiver which is  
defective or does not meet the Infrared Receiver  
specifications. Options, cables, accessories, and included  
items are covered by the same warranty as the HP Fast  
InfraRed Receiver for which they are purchased. Purchaser  
pays freight charges to return replaced equipment under this  
warranty.  
If you think you have a defective Infrared Receiver, call HP’s  
Technical Support or your local sales office for assistance.  
Warranty does not cover (1) Infrared Receivers with serial  
numbers that cannot be read; (2) Infrared Receivers which  
have been operated with incompatible accessories. Warranty  
will not cover damage resulting from: (1) abnormal conditions  
including but not limited to accidents, fire, water, etc.;  
(2) neglect or misuse of Infrared Receiver; (3) causes  
external to the Infrared Receiver, including but not limited to  
failure or fluctuation of electrical power, air conditioning,  
humidity control, etc. (4) maintenance, repairs, alterations,  
or modifications performed by any person or entity other  
than HP.  
This warranty is exclusive of all other warranties, whether  
expressed, implied, or statutory. HP does not warrant Infrared  
Receiver for fitness for a particular purpose or  
merchantability. HP will not be liable for any special,  
consequential, indirect or incidental damages, even if advised  
of their possibility. Some states do not allow for the exclusion  
or limitation of certain liabilities, so the above limitations may  
not apply. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and  
you may also have other legal rights which vary from state to  
state.
