IR Communications
Printers equipped for infrared (IR) communications are identi-
fied by a small “IR” logo on the unit’s label. IR allows wireless
communications between the printer and the host terminal. IR
units can also communicate with a cable as detailed above, how-
ever, IR functions are disabled when the cable is plugged in. QL
320 units with the IR option can be configured to conform to the
standard IrDA communications protocol
Linking a Printer to an IrDA Host
IrDA compliant terminals will automatically initiate communica-
tions to the printer. First insure that there is a direct line of sight
between the printer and the terminal that will be sending data.
The IR window on the front of the QL 320 must face the corre-
sponding window on the terminal to properly send and receive
signals. An IrDA compliant terminal will seek out any linkable de-
vices and establish communications between them, even turning
the printer on if necessary.
