[nabs-l] two questions that are completely unrelated to oneanother

[Kaiti Shelton]

Sorry, I just noticed the typo.  I meant to say infrared.  Basically
all you do is when you set up the printer connection it should be in
the list, and then you line up the little infrared scanner on the
BrailleNote, (should be on the far right side of the back of the unit,
assuming that you have it with the keyboard side facing up,) with the
infrared scanner on the printer.  On the printers I've used it with
the scanner was on the front of the printer on the right side as well
so if your printer has it it should be pretty easy to find.  Then the
printer and BrailleNote can talk via the scanners verses through the
wires and cables and you just follow all the regular printing commands
from there.
Hope this helps.  I don't know why bluetooth didn't occur to me, but
that might be an option worth exploring too.  Either that or infrared
will probably be your best options for printing wirelessly.
