About Bluetooth

Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to wirelessly connect to your device using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz spectrum. Bluetooth is typically used for short distances (up to 10 meters or 30 feet) and does not require a direct line of sight between the sending device and the receiving device.

Different Bluetooth profiles emulate different types of standard cable connections and have different capabilities. For more information about Bluetooth profiles, see Configure Bluetooth wireless settings.

When your device is directly connected to your computer (either by cable or Bluetooth), it is possible to share it on a network using “printer sharing”. However, your computer has to be connected to the network for others to use the device.

To set up and configure the device for Bluetooth wireless printing, see Bluetooth wireless connection.

NOTE: To configure Bluetooth settings or monitor device status (such as ink levels) using the Toolbox, you must connect the device to your computer with a USB cable.
