Bluetooth wireless printing

Use an optional HP Bluetooth Wireless Printer Adapter to print images from most Bluetooth devices to the printer without a cable connection. Simply insert the Bluetooth adapter (also known as a dongle) into the front USB port of the printer and print from a Bluetooth device such as a PDA, camera phone, or computer. For more information, see the documentation included with the adapter.

Configure the Bluetooth settings on the printer by using either the printer's embedded Web server (EWS) or the HP Printer Utility, depending on whether the printer is connected to a network.

The basic procedure for printing from any device with Bluetooth wireless technology is the same:

1.Have the device search for available Bluetooth printers.

2.Select the printer when it is displayed on the device.

3.Send the print job.

Check the documentation that came with the device for detailed instructions.
