NOTE:To use the device with any wireless connection, you must run Setup at least once from the Starter CD and create a wireless connection. After performing one setup to create a wireless connection, you can connect the device to additional networks by configuring new wireless profiles and changing the wireless profile switch position. NOTE: If you can see the ink levels in the Toolbox, the Toolbox is communicating with the device. 1. Open the Toolbox. For more information, see Toolbox (Windows) . 2. Click the Configure WiFi Profiles tab. 3. Select the wireless profile you wish to modify. NOTE: A blue dot indicates the currently selected wifi profile. 4.Click Configure . 5. Enter the wireless profile information for the network that you want to connect to, and then click Finish. To configure 802.11 wireless profiles (Mac OS) 1. Select the profile to configure using the wireless profile switch on the device. For more information, see Use the wireless profile switch . 2. Double-click the Macintosh HD icon on the desktop. 3. Select Library , and then select Printers. 4. Select hp, select Utilities , and then select HP Network Setup Tool . 5. On the Welcome screen, click Continue. 6. Select Wireless from the printer list drop-down menu or USB if the device is currently connected via a USB cable. 7. Select the device in the printer name list, and then click Continue. If the device does not appear in the list, wait for a minute and then click Rescan. 8. Enter the wireless profile information, and then click Apply. 9. Click Send Settings to send the settings to the device. Use the wireless profile switch Each profile you configure in the software (1, 2, and 3) corresponds to a wireless profile switch position (1, 2, and 3) on the device. The “current” profile is the current position (1, 2, or 3) of the wireless profile switch. NOTE:You can print a wireless configuration page to get a list of the profile settings and to ensure they have been properly set. For more information, see Understand the device information pages . 802.11 wireless connection 57
To print on a specific set profile 1.Change the number on the wireless profile switch to that specific profile. 2.Change the wireless network on your computer to be in that specific profile. 3. Send a print job using the installed printer driver. After you have configured more than one of the wireless profiles, you can use the wireless profile switch on the device to switch between the different profiles. For example, if you configured profile 1 for printing in an infrastructure environment (for example, the office) and configured profile 2 for printing in an ad hoc environment (for example, away from the office or on the road), you only have to move the switch between 1 and 2 to switch between those profiles. Make sure the switch is in the appropriate position (1, 2, or 3) to match the profile you are using before sending a print job. For example, if you are on the road and had previously configured switch position 2 for ad hoc wireless printing on the road, move the switch to position 2 before sending a print job. NOTE: After switching from one wireless profile to another, the first print job takes 10 seconds or so before it starts to print. Reset 802.11 wireless profiles to factory defaults To reset the active profile (the current position of the wireless profile switch) ▲ Hold down (Power button) and press (Cancel button) eight times. To reset all three 802.11 wireless profiles ▲ Hold down (Power button), press (Cancel button) twice, and then press (Resume button) six times. Chapter 4 58 Configure and manage

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. Bluetooth wireless connection 65
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.
