INFRARED (IR) DATA PORT
An infrared (IR) data port is standard on the Model 225 Indicator. The IR port is located on the
front panel of the indicator slightly above and to the right side of the PRINT key (see Figure
No. 16). NOTE! If not using the IR data port, it is highly recommended to disable it.
The IR port transmits and receives data using
the same settings and formats supported by the
PRINTER port.
To use the IR port, you need the following:
y A computer (such as a desktop or laptop)
or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
equipped with an IR port.
y An infrared port driver that allows the
computer or PDA to communicate with IR
port in the 225.
y Application software for the computer or
PDA to send and receive the data.
