If you’re printing to an infrared printer, make sure its port is set to LPT3 (not
COM2 or LPT1). Check the printer’s property sheet.
•
Start Infrared Monitor before you print. Click Start, Infrared.
•
For infrared printing from an MS-DOS program, run the program in an MS-DOS
window instead of in MS-DOS mode.
•
In Windows Help, use the Print Troubleshooter.

Make sure the infrared light path is not blocked. See
“To make an infrared
connection.”
•

If the left edge of printed output is missing
•
If the printer you’re using is a 600-dpi (dots per inch) printer, try selecting a
compatible printer driver for a 300-dpi printer. For example, for a 600-dpi
HP LaserJet printer, try using the HP LaserJet IIIsi driver (300-dpi). Certain
applications may not work properly with 600-dpi printers.
