Wireless configuration page

The wireless configuration page shows 802.11 and Bluetooth information you need when using the device. For more information and instructions on printing this page, see Understand the device information pages.

Bonding

When the printer and a sending device bond, they store each other’s Bluetooth device address. This allows the device to discover the printer in Private mode.

The printer can bond to up to 31 devices. If you reach this limit and want to bond to an additional device, you must clear all the previously bonded devices from the printer’s memory. For more information, see Reset device access.

Bluetooth wireless profiles

Serial port profile (SPP)

The Serial Port Profile is a wireless version of a serial port on the device that can be used with notebook computers, Pocket PC devices such as HP iPAQs, and other PDA devices to print with Bluetooth wireless technology. The Serial Port Profile sends data as a series of bytes and does not support bi-directional communication.

Object push profile (OPP)

The Object Push Profile lets you print from devices that use the Object Exchange protocol (OBEX), such as mobile phones and PDAs, such as Pocket PC and Palm OS devices. Files that can be transferred over OBEX include vCard (stores business cards, addresses and phone numbers), vCalendar (supports event tracking and to-do lists), vMessage (supports simple messages and text), JPEG (for images), and ASCII text for mobile phones and PDAs such as Palm OS devices.

Basic printing profile (BPP)

•The Basic Printing Profile extends the capabilities of OBEX so you can better control the printing from Bluetooth-enabled PDAs, mobile phones, and other devices. The Basic Printing Profile lets you set the device, the number of copies to print, and other printing attributes, such as multiple per page sheet or handout printing.

•The Basic Printing Profile is flexible, allowing for “driverless” printing, so any device that supports the profile can print data from a device that also supports the profile. This profile is bi-directional, so it allows device status information (the progress of the print job, or errors such as “out of paper” or “paper jam”) to be sent back to the computer to be displayed.

Basic imaging profile (BIP)

The Basic Imaging Profile lets you print images from a compatible digital camera or other mobile device with Bluetooth wireless technology.
