    Printing From a Bluetooth®-Enabled Device
    This printer is compliant with Bluetooth Specification  2.0. It supports  the following profiles: Object  Push Profile
    (OPP),  Serial  Port  Profile (SPP), Basic  Print Profile (BPP), and  PCL3 printing. Check with your  Bluetooth-enabled
    device manufacturers (cellular phone  or PDA)  to  determine  their hardware compatibility  and  interoperability. It is
    recommended that  you use the latest  firmware on your  Bluetooth-enabled  device.
    To print  Microsoft documents from  your  Windows® Mobile/Pocket PC PDA,  additional third -party software and
    drivers are required. For  more  information  about  the required  software,  see the documentation for your  PDA.
    Before  you call  Dell customer  support,  see the section for information  on setting  up  a  connection  with a  Bluetooth-
    enabled  device. You  can  also  visit the Dell Support website at 
    support.dell.com.  This website contains  the latest
    documentation.  Ensure  that  you read the documentation that  came  with your  Bluetooth device for setup
    instructions.
    Setting up a Connection Between Your  Printer and a Bluetooth-
    Enabled Device
    You  need  to  set  up  a  connection  between  a  Bluetooth-enabled  device and  your  printer if you are sending a  print  job from
    the Bluetooth device for the first time.  You  will need  to  repeat the setup  if:
    You  reset the printer to  its  factory default settings. For  more  information, see Restoring  Factory Default Settings.
    You  changed the Bluetooth security level or the Bluetooth pass  key. For  more  information, see Setting  the Bluetooth
    Security Level.
    The  Bluetooth-enabled  device you are using  requires  users  to  set  up  a  Bluetooth connection  on every print  job.
    Refer to  the instructions included  with the device for Bluetooth printing information.
    You  cleared the contents of the Bluetooth device list. For  more  information, see Bluetooth Mode.
    The  name of the Bluetooth device you are using  is automatically deleted from  the Bluetooth device list.
    When  the Bluetooth security level is set  to  High, the printer saves a  list of up  to  8 Bluetooth devices that  have
    previously set  up  a  connection  with the printer. If  there are already 8 devices on the list, and  then  you need  to  set
    up  a  connection  for another Bluetooth device, the first device is automatically deleted from  the list so that  the new
    device can  be stored.  You  need  to  repeat the setup  of the deleted device to  be able  to  send a  print  job to  the
    printer.
    To set  up  a  connection  between  the printer and  a  Bluetooth-enabled  device: 1.  Turn on the printer.
    2 .  Insert a  USB  Bluetooth adapter  into the USB  port located  on the front of the printer.
