802.11 and Bluetooth wireless printing
The 802.11 and Bluetooth features in this device allow you to print wirelessly. 802.11
printing allows wireless printing up to 100 meters (300 feet). Bluetooth printing allows
wireless printing up to 10 meters (30 feet).
For instructions on wireless printing from mobile devices, see 
Print from mobile devices.
NOTE: Wireless communication is available through wireless printer accessories
that are included with certain device models. Also, the sending device must have
built-in wireless capability or a wireless card installed.
NOTE: Wireless printing uses more battery power than wired printing. For
information on checking the battery charge level, 
Install and use the battery .

About 802.11
802.11 wireless technology allows you to wirelessly connect to your device by setting
up “ad hoc” communication between your computer  and the device. 802.11 does not
require a direct line of sight between the sending device and the receiving device.
When you set up ad hoc communication between your computer and the device, you
are creating a network of two devices. This is the recommended setup for 802.11
printing to this mobile printer.
802.11 also lets you set up the device on an existing “infrastructure” network. Setting it
up on an infrastructure network puts the device directly onto a local area network
(LAN) using a wireless connection to an 802.11 wireless access point (WAP). Once
the device is successfully connected to the network wirelessly, then all the computers
on the same subnet can use the device.
Before setting up the device, it is recommended that you temporarily connect the
device to the computer with a USB cable to set up the wireless connection. Once the
wireless connection is established, you will remove the cable and print wirelessly. You
can also set up the device without using a USB cable.
To set up and configure the device for 802.11 wireless printing, see 
802.11 wireless
connection .

							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.

The device is designed to work well with most types of office media. It is best to test a
variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Use HP media for optimum
print quality. Visit the HP Web site at

media.

Tips for selecting and using print media
For the best results, observe the following guidelines.
• Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information, see 
Understand specifications for supported media .
• Load only one type of media at a time.
• On models that have an input tray extension, make sure the input tray extension is fully extended.
• Load media print-side up and aligned squarely against the alignment guides. For more information on loading media, see 
Load media .
• Do not overload the trays. For more information, see 
Understand specifications for
supported media .
• To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following media:
◦Multipart forms
◦ Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled
◦ Media with cutouts or perforations
Use the device 19
 
						

							◦Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well
◦ Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily
• Do not leave media in the input tray overnight. This might cause it to bend.
• Remove each sheet of media as it prints and set aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up might cause smearing.
• For instructions on calibrating color, see 
Calibrate color .
Cards and envelopes
• Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or windows. Also avoid cards and envelopes  with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or
areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.
• Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased.
• Always load envelopes into the printer with the flap facing the back of the printer and the stamp position oriented according to the envelope icon.
Photo media
• Use the  Best mode to print photographs. Note that in this mode, printing takes
longer and more memory is required from your computer.
• Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing.
• Photo paper should be flat before printing. If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10 mm (3/8 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in a resealable plastic
bag, and roll them into a tube. Roll the sheets so the curve of the tube is in the
opposite direction of the original curl of the paper. Roll the tube no smaller than a
1.5 inch (4 cm) in diameter.
Chapter 3
20 Use the device
 
						

							Transparencies
• Insert transparencies with the rough side up and the adhesive strip pointing down.
• Use the Normal mode to print transparencies. This mode provides longer drying
time and ensures that the ink dries completely before the next page is delivered to
the output tray.
• Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing.
Custom-sized media
• Use only custom-sized media that is supported by the device.
• If your application supports custom-sized media, set the media size in the application before printing the document. If not, set the size in the print driver. You
might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-sized
media.

							Print on both sides (duplexing)
You can print on both sides manually using the Windows printer software.
You can print on both sides of a sheet  using a Mac by first printing the odd-numbered
pages, turning the pages over, and then printing the even-numbered pages.

To perform duplexing (Mac OS)
Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page
• Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information, see 
Understand specifications for supported media .
• Specify duplex options in your application or in the printer driver.
• Do not print on both sides of transparencies, envelopes, photo paper, glossy media, or paper lighter than 18 lb bond (75 g/m
2). Jams might occur with these
media types.
• Several kinds of media require a specific  orientation when you print on both sides
of a page, such as letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and
prepunched holes. When you print from a computer running Windows, the device
prints the first side of the media first. When you print from a computer using the
Mac OS, the device prints the second side first. Load the media with the front side
facing down.
To perform duplexing (Windows)
1. Load the appropriate media. See Guidelines for printing on both sides of a page
and 
Load media .
2. With a document open, on the  File menu, click  Print, and then click  Properties.
3. Click the  Features  tab.
4. Choose  Manual from the two-sided printing drop-down list.
5. To automatically resize each page to match the documents onscreen layout,
ensure  Preserve Layout is selected. Clearing this option might result in unwanted
page breaks.
6. Select or clear the  Flip Pages Up check box to match the way you want the
binding. See the graphics in the printer driver for examples.
7. Change any other desired settings and click  OK.
8. Print your document.
9. After the first side of the document is printed, follow the onscreen instructions and
reload the paper into the tray to complete printing.
10. After reloading the paper, click  Continue in the onscreen instructions to continue
the print job.
