Note Add-On Devices Connecting External Devices Using the infrared port • Make sure the infrared ports of your computer and the other device lie in as straight a line as possible. The two ports should be no more than 1 meter apart, with no obstructions in between. Noise from nearby equipment can cause transmission errors. • To check the status of communications, open Wireless Link in Control Panel. Disabling the infrared port You should generally disable infrared communication when you aren't using it. 1. Close any applications that are using infrared, and any folders on an infrared link. 2. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel (Windows 2000) or Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware (Windows XP). 3. Windows 2000: double-click Wireless Link and disable the hardware. Windows XP: click Wireless Link. On the Hardware tab click Properties, and disable the device in the pull-down menu. Printing to an infrared printer • Install your printer and assign it to the computer's infrared port. You can then print from your applications as you would to any other printer. Transferring files through an infrared connection You can use your computer's infrared port to transfer files by using Wireless Link. See the Windows online help for instructions on using Wireless Link. To use a docking product A docking product provides your computer with external connections that you can leave in place whenever you remove the computer from your desk. Instead of disconnecting and reconnecting peripheral devices, you can simply undock and dock the computer. For more information about using docking products, see the User's Guide that shipped with your dock. For best system performance with a mini-dock or port replicator, use a "C" version, such as HP F1651C or F1652C. Earlier versions of these products may provide slower performance and slower battery charging. This computer does not support the F1477 docking system. Reference Guide 85
