Network glossary
access pointA network router that has wireless capability.
ASCIIAmerican Standard Code for Information Interchange. The standard for
numbers used by computers to represent all the uppercase and lowercase
Latin letters, numbers, punctuation, etc.
AutoIPA feature of the installation software, which determines the configuration
parameters of devices on the network.
DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A server on the network that supplies
configuration parameters to devices on the network. On small networks, this
could be a router.
DNSDomain Name Service. When you use the Web or send an e-mail message,
you use a domain name to do it. Fo r example, the URL http://www.hp.com
contains the domain name hp.com. The  DNS on the Internet translates the
domain name into an IP address. Devices use the IP addresses to refer to
one another.
DNS-SDSee DNS. The SD portion stands for Service Discovery. This is part of a
protocol developed by Apple that enabl es automatic discovery of computers,
devices, and services on IP networks.
DSLDigital Subscriber Line. A high- speed connection to the Internet.
EthernetThe most common local network technology that connects computers using
copper cabling.
Ethernet cableThe cable used to connect network elem ents in a wired network. The CAT-5
Ethernet cable is also known as a  straight-through cable. When using an
Ethernet cable, the network elements must be attached to a router. An
Ethernet cable uses an RJ-45 connector.
EWSEmbedded Web Server. A browser-based utility that provides a simple way
to manage the HP All-in-One. You can  monitor status, configure HP All-in-
One networking parameters, or access HP All-in-One features.

HEXHexadecimal. The base 16 numbering system, which uses the digits 0-9 plus
the letters A-F.
host computerThe computer at the center of a network.
HostnameThe TCP/IP name assigned by the installation software to the device. By
default, this is the letters HP followed  by the last 6 digits of the Media Access
Control (MAC) address.
hubNo longer commonly used in modern home networks, a hub takes its signal
from each computer and sends it to all of the other computers connected to
the hub. Hubs are passive; other devices on the network plug into the hub in
order to communicate with one another. A hub does not manage the network.
IP addressA number that uniquely identifies the  device on the network. IP addresses
are assigned dynamically through DHCP or AutoIP. You can also set up a
static IP address, though this is not recommended.
MAC addressMedia Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely identifies the HP All-in-
One. This is a unique 12-digit identif ication number assigned to networking
hardware for identification. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC
address.
network nameThe SSID or network name identifies a wireless network.
NICNetwork Interface Card. A card on your computer that provides an Ethernet
connection so that you can connect  your computer to a network.
RJ-45 connectorThe connector on the ends of an Ethernet cable. Although standard Ethernet
cable connectors (RJ-45 connectors) look similar to standard telephone
cable connectors, they are not interc hangeable. An RJ-45 connector is wider
and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A phone connector has
between 2 and 6 contacts.
routerA router provides a bridge between two or more networks. A router can link
a network to the Internet, link two networks and connect both to the Internet,
and help secure networks through the use of firewalls and assigning dynamic
addresses. A router can also act as a gateway, while a switch cannot.
SSIDThe SSID or network name identifies a wireless network.
switchA switch makes it possible for several users to send information over a
network at the same time without slowing each other down. Switches allow
different nodes (a network connection  point, typically a computer) of a
network to communicate directly with one another.
WEPWired Equivalent Privacy  (WEP) is a type of encryption used for wireless
network security.
WPAWi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a ty pe of encryption used for wireless
network security. WPA offers greater security than WEP.
Connect to a Bluetooth® device
If you insert an HP Bluetooth Adapter (such as the HP bt500) into the front USB port, you
can print to the HP All-in-One from Bluetooth devices such as PDAs, camera phones,
and computers.

What you need for a Bluetooth connection
To connect the HP All-in-One with a Bluetooth connection, you will need the following:
❑ A Bluetooth capable device (such as a PDA, camera phone, or computer)
❑ An HP Bluetooth Adapter
Some Bluetooth products exchange device addresses when they communicate with each
other, so you might also need to find out the device address of the HP All-in-One in order
to establish a connection.
To find out the device address of the product
1. Insert the HP Bluetooth Adapter into the front USB port.
2. Press  Setup.
3.Press the down arrow button until  Bluetooth is highlighted, and then press  OK.
4. Press the down arrow button until  Device Address is highlighted, and then press
OK .
The  Device Address  appears, which is read only.
5. Make a note of the device address. You might need it later.
Connect the HP All-in-One to  a computer using a Bluetooth® wireless connection
A Bluetooth connection provides a quick and easy way to print images from a Bluetooth-
enabled computer without using a cable. With a Bluetooth connection you can access
many of the same printing features as with a USB connection. For example, you can
check the printer status, as well as the estimated amount of ink remaining in your ink
cartridges.
NOTE:The only software functionality available with a Bluetooth connection is
printing. Scanning and software-based copying cannot be done over a Bluetooth
connection. However, stand-alone copy functions are still available.
Before you print, you must connect an HP Bluetooth Adapter to the HP All-in-One.
You must have Windows Vista or Windows XP and either the Microsoft Bluetooth
®
Protocol Stack or the Widcomm Bluetooth® Protocol Stack installed in order to connect

the HP All-in-One. It is possible to have both the Microsoft Stack and the Widcomm Stack
on your computer, but you use only one of them to connect the HP All-in-One.
•Microsoft stack : If you have Windows Vista or Windows XP with Service Pack 2
installed on your computer, then your computer has the Microsoft Bluetooth
® Protocol
Stack. The Microsoft stack allows you to install an external Bluetooth® adapter
automatically. If your Bluetooth® adapter supports the Microsoft stack but it does not
install automatically, then you do not hav e the Microsoft stack on your computer.
Check the documentation that came with the Bluetooth
® adapter to see if it supports
the Microsoft stack.
• Widcomm stack : If you have an HP computer with Bluetooth
® built in then your
computer has the Widcomm stack. If you have an HP computer and plug in an HP
Bluetooth Adapter, it will install automatically using the Widcomm stack.
To install and print using the Microsoft stack
1. Make sure that you have installed the product software on the computer.
NOTE: The purpose of installing the software is to make sure the printer driver
is available for the Bluetooth® connection. Therefore, if you have already installed
the software, you do not need to reinstall it. If you want both a USB and a
Bluetooth
® connection to the product, install the USB connection first. For more
information, see the Start Here guide. However, if you do not want a USB
connection, select  Directly to the computer  on the Connection Type  screen.
Also, on the  Connect Your Device Now  screen, select the check box next to If

2.Attach an HP Bluetooth Adapter to the front USB port of the product.
3. If you are using an external Bluetooth
® adapter for your computer, make sure your
computer is started and then attach the Bluetooth® adapter to a USB port on the
computer. If you have Windows Vista or Windows XP with Service Pack 2, the
Bluetooth
® drivers are installed automatically. If you are prompted to select a
Bluetooth® profile, select  HCRP.
If your computer has Bluetooth® built in, just make sure  the computer is started.
4. On the Windows  taskbar, click Start, and then click  Printers and Faxes  (or click
Control Panel , and then Printers).
5. Double-click the  Add Printer icon (or click  Add a printer ).
6. Click  Next, and then select  A Bluetooth Printer .
7. Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the installation.
8. Print as you would to any printer.
