802.11 wireless connection
This section describes how to set up and configure the device for an 802.11 wireless
connection. The recommended method for setting up this mobile device for wireless
communication with a single computer is using  an “ad hoc” network. However, you
might want to set it up on an existing “infrastructure” network that uses a wireless
access point (WAP). For an overview of 802.11 wireless printing, see 
About 802.11 .
NOTE: 802.11 printing is available through 802.11 wireless printer accessories
that are included with certain device models. For a description and illustration of
the 802.11 wireless printer accessory, see 
Install and use 802.11 and Bluetooth
accessories . Also, the sending device must have built-in 802.11 capability or an
802.11 wireless card installed.

About the wireless profile switch
The device includes an 802.11 wireless profile switch so you can store settings for up
to three 802.11 computers or networks. This allows you to easily move the device from
home to office or between any three wireless network environments.
When you install the printer driver from the Starter CD and select Wireless for the
connection type, the 802.11 wireless profile settings are stored in the current position
of the wireless profile switch. Once you have installed the software using a wireless
connection, you can configure the three wireless profile settings to match the wireless
networks you want to use.
The wireless profile settings used by each switch position (1, 2, and 3) can be
configured using the following tools:
• Toolbox (Windows):  When the Toolbox is communicating with the device, you
can use it to configure wireless profiles.
NOTE: If you are using a Pocket PC or Palm OS device, you can use the
Toolbox software for PDAs. For more information, see 
Toolbox software for
PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS) .
•Wireless Profile Configuration Utility (Windows):  You can use this tool to set
up multiple printers at one time using a USB Flash drive. For more information, see
Configure multiple printers for 802.11 (Windows) .
• HP Network Setup Tool (Mac OS): This tool automatically launches during
installation, or you can use it later to configure 802.11 wireless profiles. For more
information, see 
HP Printer Utility (Mac OS) .
For instructions on configuring 802.11 wireless profiles after software installation, see
Configure and use 802.11 wireless profiles .
About 802.11 wireless network settings
In order to connect to an 802.11 wireless network, you need to know the network
settings. If you do not know the settings for a network, you will need to get this
information from a network administrator.
You can configure the following 802.11 options for each profile:
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
By default, the device looks for  an ad hoc network called hpsetup. This is the wireless
network name, or SSID. Your network may have a different SSID.
802.11 wireless connection 51
 
						

							Communication mode:
There are two communication mode options for an 802.11 connection:
•Ad hoc (recommended):  On an ad hoc network, the device is set to ad hoc
communication mode and communicates directly with other wireless devices
without the use of a wireless access point (WAP).
• Infrastructure:  On an infrastructure network, the device is set to infrastructure
communication mode and communicates with other devices on the network,
whether the devices are wired or wireless, through a WAP. WAPs commonly act
as routers or gateways on small networks.
Wireless security settings
• Network authentication: The device’s factory default setting is Open network. The network does not require security for authorization or encryption.
• Data encryption: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides security by encrypting data sent over radio waves from one wireless device to another wireless device.
Devices on a WEP-enabled network use WEP keys to encode data. If your
network uses WEP, you must know the WEP key(s) it uses.
If you set Data encryption to disabled, the device will attempt to detect and
automatically associate to open wireless network named  hpsetup.
All devices on the ad hoc network must:
◦ Be 802.11-compatible
◦ Have ad hoc as the communication mode
◦ Have the same network name SSID
◦ Be on the same subnet
◦ Be on the same channel
◦ Have the same 802.11 security settings
Set up for 802.11 using factory defaults
The factory default wireless network settings are:
• Communication mode:  ad hoc
• Network name (SSID):  hpsetup
• Security (encryption):  disabled
NOTE:On the Mac OS, an ad hoc  network is referred to as a computer to
computer network.
This section covers the following topics:
•
To set up using ad hoc mode and factory defaults with a USB cable (Windows and
Mac OS)
•
To set up using ad hoc mode and factory defaults with no USB cable (Windows)
•
To set up a computer to computer (ad hoc) connection using factory defaults with
