Connecting to your printer
Infrared interface for connecting your printer
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
Infrared 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
HP Deskjet
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
with WordPad. To do this, tap in the menu bar for the relevant program,
(Internet Explorer, Pocket On-Schedule etc.), File → Print.
Authenticated data connections with a smartcard
Personal data cards (smartcards) are becoming increasingly important,
e.g. for online banking.
Smartcard slot for authenticated data connections
The necessary driver software for the PC/SC standard is installed on your
SIMpad.
For this type of authenticated data connections you need an appropriate
smartcard. You also need the relevant software on the SIMpad
(application-specific driver). Insert the smartcard into the designated slot
when the data connection asks you to do so. When inserting the card,
ensure that the chip is facing upwards.
