HP Photosmart D7460 Printer User Manual

Before you print, you must connect an HP bt450, Printer and PC Adapter with
Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology to the HP Photosmart.
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 Photosmart. 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 Photosmart.
•
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 Photosmart 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 Photosmart, 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.
Attach an HP bt450 to the front USB port of the HP Photosmart.
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 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.
