[Linux-IrDA]IrDA

Hello,

Well I have a very special problem, and I am

hoping that you can help me:

I have a hand scanner, for reading barcodes,

which has an infrared interface to send/receive

data from a PC.

It seems to fit with the hardware IrDA

specifications, I can also send data with

115,200 bps and I can run BASIC and possibly

C code on the hand scanner. But the software protocol

does not fit with the IrDA protocol, it works like a

simple serial interface, I think. Maybe it simply

converts the serial data in infrared signals, and

nothing more.

I have a Cannon BJC-50 printer, with an IrDA

receiver, and want to print data directly from the

hand scanner.

My questions are:

Is it possible to send data to the printer, if I implement

the IrDA-Protocol in BASIC-CODE and use this simple

InfraRed interface ?

Is this necessary ?

How can I implement the IrDA protocol ?

Do you know any books and/or internet resources, where

I can get the full protocol specifications ?

Thanks, Emin Karayel
