Bluetooth wireless profiles
Serial port profile (SPP)
The Serial Port Profile is a wireless version of a serial port on the printer 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 personal digital assistants (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 
printer, 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 printer that supports the 
profile can print data from a device that also supports the profile. This profile is bi-directional, so it allows 
printer 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.
Hardcopy cable replacement profile (HCRP)
The Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile lets you print with the same features, quality and speed as 
printing with a cable. The Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile provides the same basic functionality as 
the Serial Port Profile, with the addition of bi-directional communication (e.g., messages such as “out of 
paper”, “out of ink”, and job status). It also supports all of the functions offered with HP all-in-one devices, 
such as printing, scanning, faxing and copying.
Unlike the Basic Printing Profile, the Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile requires you to have the printer 
driver installed on the computer you are printing from, so it is primarily useful for printing from a PC.

5 Maintaining and troubleshooting
This chapter explains basic printer maintenance and troubleshooting. You can find information about the 
state of the printer and the print cartridges from the Toolbox (Windows), the HP Printer Utility (Mac OS), 
and the Toolbox software for PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS) if you have one of these installed. You can 
also perform maintenance functions from these utilities.
Maintaining the printer
The printer does not require scheduled maintenance, except for replacing the ink service module. (See 
Replacing the ink service module.) You should attempt, however, to keep the printer free of dust and 
debris. This cleaning keeps the printer in peak condition and might also make the diagnosis of problems 
easier.
WARNING!Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning the printer. If using the 
optional battery, turn off the printer and remove the battery before cleaning.
Cleaning the printer
When you clean the printer, follow these guidelines:
Clean the outside of the printer with a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent and water.
NOTE:Clean the printer only with water or water mixed with a mild detergent. Using other cleaners or 
alcohol can damage the printer.
Clean the inside of the front access cover with a dry, lint-free cloth.
CAUTION:Be careful not to touch the rollers. Skin oils on the rollers can cause print quality problems.
 
						

							 Chapter 5 - Maintaining and troubleshooting 70
Cleaning the print cartridges
If printed characters are incomplete, or if dots or lines are missing from the printouts, you might need to 
clean the print cartridges. These are symptoms of clogged ink nozzles, which can result from prolonged 
exposure to air.
NOTE:Before you clean the print cartridges, make sure the print cartridge ink levels are not low or 
empty. Low ink levels can also cause incomplete characters, missing lines, or dots on the printouts. Check 
the print cartridge lights to make sure they are not on. (See Printer lights reference.) You can also check the 
status of the print cartridges from the Printer Status tab in the Toolbox (Windows) or HP Printer Utility 
(Mac OS). Replace any low or empty print cartridges. For instructions, see Replacing the print cartridges.
If you are using a Pocket PC or Palm OS device, you can use the Toolbox software for PDAs. See Toolbox 
software for PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS).
To clean print cartridges automatically
NOTE:Clean the print cartridges only when necessary. Cleaning uses ink and shortens the life of the 
print cartridges. There are three levels of cleaning available. After one level of cleaning, perform the next 
level of cleaning only if the results are not satisfactory.
Control panel
1.Press and hold down  (Power button).
2.While holding down the button, do one of the following. Perform the next level of cleaning only if
