Re: hp 49g+ Message #7 Posted by James M. Prange on 2 Jan 2004, 1:31 a.m., in response to message #2 by Raymond Del Tondo
The 49G can't print via IR of course, but it does print via wire just like a 48 does. Well, except that XON/XOFF flow control doesn't work on the 49G.
The transmitted signal on either the 48 series or 49G is somewhat below what RS-232 calls for, but I've never had a problem printing to my Epson printers or "printing" to HyperTerminal PE on the PC.
The 49g+ prints to the 82240A/B via IR in "Red-Eye" format (but with a very limited range, 2 or 3 inches), but lacks anything like an RS-232 serial port. So if you want to print to a more conventional printer, you pretty well need a USB host to relay the data.
So far as I know, the 49g+ doesn't have a mode to print via IrDA; rather a shame.
My guess is that printing from a 48gII will be much like printing from the traditional 48 series, except probably with the severe range limitations of the 49g+ to the 82240A/B printers.
And yes, the 49g+ manuals are incomplete. I'd suggest using the 49g+ manuals along with the 48G series AUR and the 49G AUG.
Regards, James
