Connecting an infrared adapter You can use an infrared adapter to print remotely from a computer equipped with an infrared port. The optional tri-port adapter, which includes an infrared port, lets you connect the infrared adapter to your printer. After you have installed the tri-port adapter (see page 53 for instructions), follow the steps below to connect the infrared adapter to your printer: 1 Make sure the printer power is off and the power cord is unplugged. 2 Locate the infrared port at the back of your printer. The infrared port is attached to the tri-port adapter you installed earlier. 3 Plug the adapter cable into the infrared port. 4 Plug in the printer power cord and turn on the printer. If any light on the infrared adapter comes on when the printer power is on, the adapter is plugged into the printer port correctly. 5 Imagine a line between the infrared port on the computer and the infrared port on the front of the adapter. Refer to the documentation that came with your computer for information about your computer's infrared port. 6 Aim the infrared port on your computer within 15 degrees of either side of this line. 7 Continue with Step 12: "Verify setup" on page 145. 144 Attach cables
