Communications between different computers has always been through the use of Cables. This also holds true for computer-to-printer communications. This means of communications have drawbacks. One of these drawbacks is the cabling itself. Various cables can easily tangle with other cables, causing a large mess of wires tangled up with each other. Another problem is that having long cables is not really recommended because the impedance of the connection (the cable) will be very large. Since most of the time, the signals sent here through the cables are quite small having large impedance for the cable would probably seriously distort the signal. These problems do not occur when infrared light replaces the cabling process. There would be no mess of wires to contend with, and the distance, with properly handled computation, would go much further than most ordinary cables. The purpose of this thesis project is to create a device that will enable transmitting of signals to the printer of computer just like cabling would handle the sending and receiving of signals.
