Wireless printing
Wireless networks offer a safe, secure, and cost-effective alternative to traditional wired
network connections. The HP LaserJet 1320nw printer has built-in wireless connectivity. For
the other printer models, see
10/100 networking and wireless print servers for a list of
available wireless print servers.
IEEE 802.11b/g standard
With wireless IEEE 802.11b/g compliant connectivity, the printers can be placed in the office
or home and connected to a wireless network running Microsoft, Apple, NetWare, UNIX
®
, or
Linux
®
network operating systems. This wireless technology provides a high-quality printing
solution without the physical constraints of wiring. Peripherals can be conveniently placed in
an office or home and can be easily moved without changing network cables.
Optional external HP Jetdirect 802.11b/g print servers are available for USB connections.
See the documentation that came with the HP LaserJet 1320nw printer for more information.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth wireless technology is a low-power, short-range radio technology that can be used
to wirelessly connect computers, printers, personal digital assistants, cell phones, and other
devices.
Unlike infra-red technology, Bluetooth's reliance on radio signals means that devices do not
have to be in the same room, office, or cubicle with an unobstructed line of sight in order to
communicate. This wireless technology increases portability and efficiency within business
network applications.
Bluetooth adapters are available for USB and parallel connections.
