NOTE: The only software functionality available with a Bluetooth connection is printing. Scanning and software-based faxing cannot be done over a Bluetooth connection. However, stand-alone copy and fax functions are still available.

Before you print, you must connect an HP bt450, Printer and PC Adapter with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology to the HP All-in-One.

You must have Windows XP or Windows Vista and either the Microsoft Bluetooth® Protocol Stack or the Widcomm Bluetooth® Protocol Stack installed in order to connect the HP All-in-One. It is possible to have both the Microsoft Stack and the Widcomm Stack on your computer, but you use only one of them to connect the HP All-in-One.

•Microsoft stack If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista installed on your computer, then your computer has the Microsoft Bluetooth® Protocol Stack. The Microsoft stack allows you to install an external Bluetooth® adapter automatically. If your Bluetooth® adapter supports the Microsoft stack but it does not install automatically, then you do not have the Microsoft stack on your computer. Check the documentation that came with the Bluetooth® adapter to see if it supports the Microsoft stack.

•Widcomm stack: If you have an HP computer with Bluetooth® built in, or if you have installed an HP bt450, then your computer has the Widcomm stack. If you have an HP computer and plug in an HP bt450, it will install automatically using the Widcomm stack.

Finish setup

To install and print using the Microsoft stack

1.Make sure that you have installed the HP All-in-One software on the computer.

NOTE: The purpose of installing the software is to make sure the printer driver is available for the Bluetooth® connection. Therefore, if you have already installed the software, you do not need to reinstall it. If you want both a USB and a Bluetooth® connection to the HP All-in-One, install the USB connection first.

3.If you are using an external Bluetooth® adapter for your computer, make sure your computer is started and then attach the Bluetooth® adapter to a USB port on the computer. If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista installed, the Bluetooth® drivers are installed automatically. If you are prompted to select a Bluetooth® profile, select HCRP.

If your computer has Bluetooth® built in, just make sure the computer is started.

4.On the Windows taskbar, click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes (or click Control Panel, and then Printers).

5.Double-click the Add Printer icon (or click Add a printer).
