Making Connections Connecting External Components With Windows 98, you must install the printer driver and assign it to the notebook's Infrared Printing (LPT) port, which is usually assigned to LPT3. Click Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer, and follow the onscreen directions. If you have already assigned a printer to the parallel port, you can assign the same printer to the infrared port by adding another printer. Windows will keep the same printer driver, and you can then also assign it to the infrared port. You can print from your applications to an infrared printer in the same way as you would to a printer connected to the parallel port. Set the infrared printer as your default printer- or select it when you print from within the application. Be sure the computer and printer IR ports are properly aligned. To transfer files with an infrared connection To transfer files through the IR port, right-click on the name or icon of the file you want to transfer and click Send To, Infrared Recipient. In Windows 2000, "Infrared Recipient" appears only when the computer is aligned with another IR device and detects it. For higher-performance file transfer, you can also use the Direct Cable Connection software built into Windows 98, or the Wireless Link software built into Windows 2000. In Windows 98, you need to install the Direct Cable Connection software first: 1. From Control Panel, click Add/Remove Programs. 2. Click Windows Setup, Communications, and select Direct Cable Connection. See the Windows online help for instructions about how to use Direct Cable Connection or Wireless Link.
