Using the Stylus

Your HP iPAQ comes with a stylus that you should use to tap or

stylus, you can order extras at www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories.

You can perform three basic actions using the stylus:

Tap —Lightly touch the screen to select or open an item. Lift the
stylus after you tap an item. Tapping is equivalent to clicking an
item with the mouse on your computer.

Drag—Place the point of the stylus on the screen and drag an
item across the screen without lifting the stylus until you have
completed the selection. Dragging is equivalent to dragging with
the left mouse button pressed on your computer.

Tap and hold—Hold the stylus pointer on an item for a short
time until a menu displays. Tapping and holding is equivalent to
right-clicking your computer mouse button. When you tap and
hold, a circle of red dots appears around the stylus to indicate that
the menu will soon pop up.

You can program an Application Button

Synchronizing with Your

Using Microsoft ActiveSync

Microsoft ActiveSync is a program you install on your desktop or
laptop computer to transfer data back and forth. In this manner,
you only have to input information once either at your computer
or your HP iPAQ. Using ActiveSync and the sync cable, you
connect your HP iPAQ and a computer to:

■

Copy files (data, audio or video) between your HP iPAQ and
up to two host computers so you always have the latest
information in all locations.

■

Install programs on your device.

■

Back up and restore files.

■

Synchronize web links.

to the USB port on your computer. Insert the HP iPAQ
into the desktop cradle. Connect the AC adapter to the
desktop cradle to charge it.

❏

If you have an rx3400 series, connect the sync cable to
the USB port on your computer and the other end to the
HP iPAQ. Connect the AC adapter to the sync cable to
charge it

Note:

The HP iPAQ supports a serial connection. However, to
synchronize via a serial connection, you must use a serial sync
cable (sold separately.)

4. The Setup Wizard detects the programs on your computer,

and guides you step-by-step so you can install ActiveSync on
your computer and other optional programs on your device.
Once you finish the Setup Wizard, you can disconnect the

Choosing the Resolution

You can choose from four resolutions (or sizes) for photos
captured (width by height in pixels) on your HP iPAQ. By using
one of the four resolutions, you can choose the photo quality for
your snapshots. Higher-quality (high resolution) photos look and
print better, especially at greater magnification. However,
higher-quality photos are larger in file size and require more
storage space. Lower-quality photos require less storage space
and less time to load when sending them by e-mail or infrared.

The Photosmart camera displays on the top right side of the
screen the estimated number of images remaining at the current
resolution and compression settings. For an example, refer to the
“Using Compression” section discussed earlier in this chapter.

more memory space per minute of video. With the H.263 format,
lower resolutions must be used but longer video clips can be
stored in less memory space. The amount of video you can record
with your HP iPAQ is limited only by the amount of memory
space you have on your HP iPAQ or on an SD/MMC memory
card.

To access the Video Settings menu:

1. From the Start menu, tap Programs > HP Photosmart or

How To Connect To The Printer

Using Your HP Photosmart Camera

Before selecting the printer, HP Mobile Print needs to know how
it will be connecting to that printer. HP Mobile Print currently
supports Infrared (IR), Bluetooth, Network-based, and
Service-based connections. While the printer may have multiple
ways to connect, only one connection method can be set up at a
time. For example, the HP DeskJet 995c supports both IR and
Bluetooth connections, thus both IR and Bluetooth are valid
selections for connecting to this printer. The user can set up a
connection to print via Bluetooth right now and later set up an IR
connection to the same printer.

Selecting a connection method depends on what connections your
printer supports. To determine if a printer has IR or Bluetooth
capabilities, look for the IR port and Bluetooth radio located on
the outside of the printer. If neither of these are visible, then you
might try connecting to the printer via a network or through a
print service.

User’s Guide 5–35

Using Your HP Photosmart Camera

■

Bluetooth Connections - Faster than IR, but setting up a
Bluetooth connection can differ from device to device. For
more information, refer to “Adding a Bluetooth Printer”

■

IR Connections - IR connections are the slowest, but easiest
to use. For more information, refer to “Adding an IR Printer”

■

Network Connections - Network connections are somewhat
more complicated to set up than IR and Bluetooth
connections, but have the advantage of being the fastest. For
more information, refer to “Adding a Network Printer.”

Once you have determined what connection you will use, choose
the connection method from the Choose Kind of Printer list and
tap the Next button. As previously mentioned, the next screen
displayed depends on which connection method was chosen.

Adding a Bluetooth Printer

Bluetooth connectivity differs from device to device. Also, a
device might have Bluetooth built-in or it may be an optional
accessory. Before continuing, you might want to familiarize
yourself with the Bluetooth options available on your HP iPAQ
and your Bluetooth printer.

For more information on Bluetooth, refer to Chapter 9, “Using
Bluetooth.”
