Needing help with infrared printer - PMG - 05-21-2015 01:40 AM
Hello. I am in the process of selling a ton of graphic calculators from a friend's estate. I admittedly have almost no idea what I'm doing, but I am trying to make as much as I can for her and her little boy.
This is the printer that was among the things I have been asked to sell:
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/HlIAAOSwrklVWNiw/$_57.JPG
and the back: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFg4NzA=/z/jLsAAOSwv0tVXTQL/$_57.JPG
When plugged in and turned on, it powers up and the red light glows. But that's about the end of my understanding of it.
The calculators I have on hand to potentially use to test it are:
HP 49G+
HP 49GX
TI TI-81
HP 50G
HP 49G
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Your printer model is the HP82240B.

The HP50G has an infrared port and can be used for testing. See the HP50G users manual page 834.

Just place the calculator in front of the red LED and issue a print command.

By the way, the cables in your auction are not for the printer. I don't think it has any connectors expect for the AC power adapter.

Thanks! Will look into this!

I'm sure they don't go with the printer, but rather than try to sell them individually I thought I'd make a lot out of the accessories, so to speak.
And you're correct, just an AC outlet.

The printer's self test can be run by holding the paper advance button down, turning on power, then releasing the paper advance button. Here's an example printout.
