1 Use your HP Bluetooth Adapter
for printing
The HP Bluetooth Adapter wireless printer adapter uses Bluetooth wireless technology
to allow you to print without using a cable. In general, Bluetooth wireless technology is a
short-range wireless technology that allows connection between devices without
requiring a cable. By using your HP Bluetooth Adapter, you can print from your camera
phone, PDA, digital camera, or computer to selected HP printers and all in ones.
NOTE: Check the documentation for your printer to verify the devices you can use
to print to it.
TIP: Check www.hp.com/go/Bluetooth for valuable information concerning your
Bluetooth adapter.
Bluetooth basics
The following concepts will help you use your HP Bluetooth Adapter; with your particular
printer.
Generally, the sending device (camera, PDA, computer, etc.) sends a signal and
discovers the nearby Bluetooth printing devices and displays their Bluetooth device
names. Then, you simply print or send to that printer name.
TIP: For most devices, the default settings will allow you to print without making any
changes. However, a Bluetooth device may be set to be visible or invisible and may
have security settings established. If you have difficulty printing to your printer,
consult
HP Bluetooth Adapter access modes.
Bluetooth device name
When a sending device discovers the printer, it displays the printer's Bluetooth device
name. The printer's default Bluetooth device name can be found and changed in the
printer's Bluetooth control panel menu.
Installation and setup
Follow these instructions to install and set up your HP Bluetooth Adapter. More detailed
setup instructions can be found in the user guide for your printer.
