Explanation:
The most likely cause of this issue is that the printer is now located at the distance of more than
three feet from the laptop. If the printer is located at a distance more than 3 feet, this will create
problem in communicating with the laptop.
Infrared is a communication medium used for wireless networks to transfer data between devices.
Infrared can transmit signals at high rates because of the high bandwidth of infrared light. An
infrared network can normally broadcast at 10 Mbps.
