The adapter is a ACTISYS IR ACT-IR-220L Plus IrDA to Serial adapter.
There is a sticker saying: "IrDA reference Product" so according to this it should be working with IrDA.

Looking through the specs of this adapter I would also expect it to work. The manufacturer seems to be a specialist in IrDA so I would also expect that they havwe implemented the standard accurately.
I also guess that you played with differenrt baud rates on the PC.
Often "garbage" visible in serial communications is due to wrong baud rate or byte size (7 vs. 8).
But according to your descirption I guess that the communication gets over the initialization step. I have no further ideas at the moment.

Also note that if you use the I/O menu dialogs, e.g. Print... and switch there to IR this will change the flags -33 and -34 as this command is intended to send its output to the 82240 IR printer (in RedEye not IrDA format).
So you have to use the command line resp. a << code object >> to set the flags and then call the appropriate print function like PRST.
