This section contains the following topics:

•Find the device name and address

•Set Bluetooth security for the HP All-in-One

•Use a Bluetooth® connection to print from your computer

Find the device name and address

Some Bluetooth devices exchange device addresses when they communicate with each other, so you might need to find out the device address of the HP All-in-One in order to establish a connection. Also, some Bluetooth devices display the name of the printer when connected. If you do not want the default name displayed as the name of the HP All- in-One, you can change the device name.

To find out the device address of the HP All-in-One

1.Touch Setup on the display.

2.Touch Bluetooth.

NOTE: If the menu option you want is not visible on the screen, touch or

to scroll through all the menu options.

Set Bluetooth security for the HP All-in-One

You can enable printer security settings through the Bluetooth menu on the HP All-in- One. Touch Setup on the display, and then touch Bluetooth. From the Bluetooth menu, you can:

•Require passkey authentication prior to someone printing to the HP All-in-One from a Bluetooth device.

•Make the HP All-in-One visible or invisible to Bluetooth devices that are within range.

This section contains the following topics:

•Use a passkey to authenticate Bluetooth devices

•Set the HP All-in-One to be invisible to Bluetooth devices

•Turn the Bluetooth radio on and off

•Reset Bluetooth settings on the HP All-in-One

Finish setup

Use a passkey to authenticate Bluetooth devices

You can set the security level of the HP All-in-One to either Low or High. The default security setting is Low. Low level security does not require authentication.

•Low: This is the default security setting. Low level security does not require a passkey, as it does not support authentication. Any Bluetooth device within range can print to it.

•High: High level security requires a passkey, as it supports authentication. The Bluetooth device must provide a passkey, before the HP All-in-One will allow the device to send a print job to it.

NOTE: The HP All-in-One ships with a predefined passkey that is set to four zeroes "0000".

To set the HP All-in-One to require passkey authentication

1.Touch Setup on the display.

2.Touch Bluetooth.

NOTE: If the menu option you want is not visible on the screen, touch or

to scroll through all the menu options.

6.When you have finished entering your passkey, touch OK. The Bluetooth menu appears.

7.Touch Security Level.

8.Touch High.

High level security requires authentication.

Passkey authentication is now set for the HP All-in-One.

Use a Bluetooth® connection to print from your computer

A Bluetooth connection provides a quick and easy way to print images from a Bluetoothenabled 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.

You must have Windows XP or Windows Vista 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 XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista 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 have 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, or if you have installed an HP bt450, then your computer has the Widcomm stack. If you have an HP computer and plug in an HP bt450, it will install automatically using the Widcomm stack.

To install and print using the Microsoft stack

1.Make sure that you have installed the HP All-in-One 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 HP All-in-One, install the USB connection first. For more information, see the Setup 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 you are unable to connect your device now... at the bottom of the screen.

2.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 XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista installed, 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.

3.On the Windows taskbar, click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes (or click

Control Panel, and then Printers).

4.Double-click the Add Printer icon (or click Add a printer).

5.Click Next, and then select A Bluetooth Printer.

6.Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the installation.

7.Print as you would to any printer.

To install and print using the Widcomm stack

1.Make sure that you have installed the HP All-in-One software on the computer.

2.Click the My Bluetooth Places icon on the desktop or in the taskbar.

3.Click View devices in range.

4.Once the available printers are discovered, double-click the name of HP All-in-One to finish the installation.

5.Print as you would to any printer.

Use printer sharing

If your computer is on a network, and another computer on the network has an HP All- in-One connected to it by a USB cable, you can print to that printer using printer sharing.

The computer directly connected to the HP All-in-One acts as the host for the printer and has full software functionality. The other computer, which is referred to as a client, has

access only to the print features. You must perform other functions from the host computer or from the control panel on the HP All-in-One.

To enable printer sharing on a Windows computer

▲Refer to the user guide that came with your computer or see the Windows onscreen Help.
