On the back of the device you will find the various interfaces which give
SIMpad its communication capabilities.
Infrared interface (diode)
Slot for smartcard
SIMpad has an infrared interface to allow it to communicate with a printer.
The printer used must also have this interface. For printers without an In-
frared interface (IrDA) there are commercially available IrDA adapters
which can be connected to the parallel interface of the printer.
An example of a compatible printer with an infrared interface is the

For the infrared connection to be established, SIMpad and the printer
must be switched on. The infrared diodes of SIMpad and the printer must
have "line-of sight contact" and may be not more that 0.5 m from each
other.
SIMpad supports the SIR (Serial Infrared) standard with a transmission
speed of 115 Kbit/s.
You can print Web pages, e-Mails or documents that you have created

SIMpad.
For this type of authenticated data connections you need an appropriate
smartcard. You also need the relevant software on the SIMpad (applica-
tion-specific driver). Insert the smartcard into the designated slot when
the data connection asks you to do so. When inserting the card, ensure
