Troubleshooting optional HP Fast InfraRed Connect problems Troubleshooting HP Fast InfraRed Connect problems Item Explanation FIR port status indicator does not light up. Make sure that the product is in READY mode and that the FIR port you are printing from is IrDA-compliant and within the range of operation described in the user guide for the FIR port Make sure that the FIR port is properly connected to the product. Print a configuration page (see "Information menu" on page 37). Make sure that "FIR POD (IrDA Compliant)" is printed under Installed Personalities and Options. Connection cannot be established or seems to take longer than usual. Use a device that is IrDA-compliant. Look for an IrDA symbol on the device or see the computer's user guide for IrDA specifications. Connection often cannot take place because the computer does not have the software that is required for the FIR port. Make sure that the operating system on your computer includes an FIR driver and your software program uses a compatible driver. Note that complex pages take longer to print. Position the FIR port within the range of operation described in the user guide for the FIR port. Make sure that no object is blocking the connection. (This object could be a hand, media, books, or even bright light.) Make sure that the two IR ports are clean (free from dirt and grease). Bright light of any kind (sunlight, incandescent light, fluorescent light, or light from an infrared remote control, such as those used for TVs and VCRs) shining directly into one of the IR ports might cause interference. Make sure that no bright light is shining directly into either IR port. Position the portable device closer to the FIR port on the product. The product prints only part of a page or document. The connection has been broken during transmission. If you move the portable device during transmission, the connection can be broken. IrDA-compliant devices are designed to recover from temporary connection interruptions. You have up to 40 seconds to reestablish the connection (depending on the portable device being used). The print job has been properly sent, but the product will not print. If the connection is broken before the entire print job has been transmitted to the product (printing has not yet started), the product might not print any of the job. Press STOP to clear the product memory. Then, reposition the portable device within the range of operation described in the user guide for the FIR port, and print the job again. The FIR status indicator turns off during transmission. The connection might have been broken. Press STOP to clear the product memory. Then, reposition the portable device within the range of operation described in the user guide for the FIR port, and print the job again. 104 Chapter 8 - Problem solving EN
