Printing Basics: Infrared (Ir) Printing
Printing using a Palm Pilot
1
Locate the infrared lens on the Palm device. This is typically
found on one of the sides of the Palm.
2 Align the Palm Pilot’s infrared lens with the printer’s infrared lens.
Position the Palm Pilot up to 3 feet (1 meter) from the printer and
within a 30–degree total angle from the printer’ infrared lens.
• The path between the two infrared devices must be clear of
obstacles.
Note
: If the Palm Pilot is moved out of range of the printer’s
infrared lens at any time during the printing process, the infrared
light may turn off and the printer may stop printing. If you realign
the devices within approximately 3–30 seconds, the print job will
resume.
3 Do one of the following:
• Use the
Beam
command to send a single calendar
appointment, or one or more business cards, to-do list items, or
memos to the printer.
OR
• Use the
command to send one or more items (such as
calendar appointments, e-mail messages, phone lists, or to-do
lists) to the printer.
The infrared light on the printer displays a solid beam during the
transfer process. When finished printing, the light will turn off.
Note:
Printing (rather than beaming) requires a printing program
in your Palm Pilot. A printing program can greatly enhance the
appearance of your printed information. When printing follow the
specific procedures of the program.
