Infrared Communication
The iMac (models M6709LL/A and M6709LL/B) come with
built-in 1-megabit infrared technology for easy, wireless
LAN access and file sharing with similarly equipped
systems. The iMac logic board has one IrDA (Infrared Data
Association) compliant connector that offers a maximum
transfer speed of 4 MB/sec (AppleTalk and TCP/IP).
The iMac also allows users to switch to the IRTalk protocol
by using the Infrared Control Panel. The iMac can therefore
communicate with other IRTalk-capable devices (such as
Macintosh PowerBooks) using the IRTalk protocol at a speed
of 230 kB/second (AppleTalk Only).
For information about whether or not iMac computers can
communicate with HP printers, contact Hewlett Packard.
