Re: Infrared communication to iSeries

["Charly Jones" <charly301@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

If you still don't want to have a PC involved, I think this might work:

It's a little kludgey...

A lot of printers have an infrared port.  Point the Palm at the printer

and print whatever you want to send to your favorite

System/38/ApplicationServer/400/e(logo)Server/iSeries system.

Then just use an OCR scanner attached through your keyboard

to key the data directly into whatever midrange application you choose.

HTH,

PS -- You ask the questions.  I answer them.  If you don't like

the answers... ask different questions.

I'd like to use the palm to do data collection for transmittal to the iSeries but I'd prefer not to have a two step process where it bounces through a PC. Maybe there is an add on unit that will plug into the iSeries?
