Bluetooth wireless basics

30 feet (10 meters) or less

Bluetooth wireless technology allows devices, such as printers and notebooks, to communicate over short distances of up to 30 feet (10 meters) or less using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz spectrum.

30 feet (10 meters) or less

To be Bluetooth-enabled, a device must have a Bluetooth wireless radio module. The HP Deskjet 450 printer has an optional Bluetooth CompactFlash card accessory.

Unlike infrared communication, Bluetooth wireless technology does not require a direct line of sight between the sending device and the receiving device.

one device at a time

The Bluetooth CompactFlash card can only establish a Bluetooth wireless connection with one device at a time.

If the printer is busy with a Bluetooth wireless connection, the Bluetooth LED flashes. The printer ignores any other device that tries to establish a connection. The device must wait until the original connection is closed before it can establish a new connection.
