Getting Started
Before using your HP Jornada pocket camera, you must first
install the HP pocket camera software from the HP CD-ROM
onto your HP Jornada. You only need to do this once.
However, if you reset your HP Jornada to the factory default
settings, or if you lose power and thereby erase all data on your
HP Jornada, you will need to reinstall the software before you
can use your camera again.
To install the HP pocket camera software
1. Connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC.
2. Insert the HP CD-ROM into a CD-ROM drive on your
desktop PC. Installation should begin automatically.
If installation does not begin, click Run on the Start menu,
and type d:hpcd.exe (where d: is the drive letter of the
CD-ROM drive). Press Return.
3. Follow the instructions on your screen to complete
installation.

After you have installed the software onto your HP Jornada,
follow these steps to begin snapping pictures and sharing them
with your friends and colleagues:
Step 1:
Insert the pocket camera into your HP Jornada.
Step 2:
Snap a picture.
Step 3:
View and share pictures.
The following sections describe each of these steps in detail. In

Step 1: Insert the HP Pocket Camera
into Your HP Jornada
To insert the HP pocket camera
Insert the pocket camera until it is firmly seated in the
CompactFlash card slot of your HP Jornada, as shown in
the diagram.
The green LED ring on the camera will blink and then
change to steady green to indicate that it is ready.
When you insert the HP pocket
camera, your HP Jornada automatically turns on in Capture
mode. When you see the camera’s digital viewfinder on the
screen of your HP Jornada, you’re
ready to begin snapping pictures!
When you place your HP Jornada
and pocket camera on a flat surface, be
sure that the lens is not facing down.
Resting the HP Jornada on the camera
lens may place stress on the camera
joints.
Do not use excessive force when
handling the HP pocket camera or when
inserting or removing it. Align the
CompactFlash interface of the camera
carefully with the CompactFlash slot of
your HP Jornada. Be sure the camera is
oriented as shown.

Sending Pictures to a Desktop PC
or Printer Using IrOBEX
The IrOBEX protocol is used by many new printers, such as the
HP DeskJet 990Cxi, as well as by some desktop and notebook
computers that run Microsoft Windows Me or Windows 2000.
You can transfer files directly from your HP Jornada to
compatible infrared-equipped printers, desktop PCs, or
notebook PCs using the IrOBEX protocol.
To send a picture using the IrOBEX protocol
1. In Review mode, tap a thumbnail to select a picture.
2. On the Send menu, tap IrOBEX.
3. Align the infrared port on your HP Jornada with the infrared
port on the receiving device.
4. Wait until the picture has been sent.
You can usually send a picture using IrOBEX or IrDA without removing
the camera from the CompactFlash slot of your HP Jornada; however,
if you have difficulty sending a picture, try removing the camera to
make it easier to line up the infrared ports of the two devices.
If you cannot send a picture to a printer or other infrared equipped
device, check the documentation for that device to ensure that it
supports the IrDA or IrOBEX protocols.

2. On the Edit menu, tap Copy or tap Resize and Copy and
then select a scale factor.
3. Open the document or note into which you want to paste the
picture.
4. On the Edit menu, tap Paste.
The Notes section of a contact, appointment, or task has a maximum
size limit of 64 KB. Pictures copied to the clipboard are stored
uncompressed and may exceed this size limit. For a 640 x 320 picture,
resize and copy to 12.5%. For a 320 x 240 picture, resize and copy to
25%. “Conserving Memory” in the “Viewing and Editing Pictures”
section offers other tips for reducing the file size of your pictures.
