Description

IRPrinting illustrates the use of the Serial Communications Server for +infra-red communications, such as to an IrDA-capable printer. See the IrDA +Serial Overview for more information.

The example:

Creates a connection +to the Comms server
Loads the Comms server +module that supports infra-red (“IrCOMM”)
Opens a port
Writes a short message +to the port
Closes the port
Closes the Comms server

The write operation times out with an error after four seconds if +it is not successful, as will occur if no receiver is present.

Class Summary

RComm: serial port

RCommServ: +Comms server

The source code includes the two project +files needed for building: bld.inf and the .mmp file.

The Symbian platform build process describes +how to build this application, which results in an executable called \epoc32\release\<target>\<urel +or udeb>\IRPRINTING.EXE.

Usage

Run the executable IRPRINTING.EXE.

Executables +for the emulator targets wins and winscw can +be run on your PC. Executables for ARM targets must be copied to your target +platform before being run.
