For more information on infrared printing visit HP’s website at:
www.hp.com/support/cp1160
not available in Mac OS X
Infrared printing is not currently available in Mac OS X for applications that
are built for Mac OS X or that run on Mac OS X Classic.
printing from a PowerBook
Turn on the printer.
1.
Locate the infrared lens on the PowerBook.
2.
Align the PowerBook’s infrared lens with the printer’s infrared lens.
3.
The computer should be positioned no more than one meter (three feet)
from the printer and within a 30-degree total angle from the printer’s
infrared lens.
Remove any obstacles between the two devices.
4.
The infrared icon appears when the devices are correctly aligned.
.
Send the file to print following normal print procedures.
5.
The infrared light on the printer displays a solid beam during the transfer
process. When printing is complete, the light begins to blink.
If the PowerBook is moved out of range of the printer’s infrared lens at
any time during the printing process, the infrared icon disappears and
the printer stops printing. Realign the devices within 3-30 seconds and
the print job will resume.

Align the Palm device’s infrared lens with the printer’s infrared lens.
2.
The Palm device should be positioned no more than one meter (three
feet) from the printer and within a 30-degree total angle from the

Remove any obstacles between the Palm device and printer.
3.

or more business cards, to-do list items, or memos.
• Use the Print command to send one or more items such as calendar
appointments, email messages, phone lists, or to-do lists to the printer.
The infrared light projects a solid beam on the printer during the
information transfer process. When the information transfer is complete,
the light turns off.
Printing, rather than beaming, requires a printing program which
enhances the appearance of your printed information. Follow the
specific procedures provided with the printing program when printing.
