About the wireless profile switch
The device includes an 802.11 wireless profile switch so you can store settings for up
to three 802.11 computers or networks. This allows you to easily move the device from
home to office or between any three wireless network environments.
When you install the printer driver from the Starter CD and select Wireless for the
connection type, the 802.11 wireless profile settings are stored in the current position
of the wireless profile switch. Once you have installed the software using a wireless
connection, you can configure the three wireless profile settings to match the wireless
networks you want to use.
The wireless profile settings used by each switch position (1, 2, and 3) can be
configured using the following tools:
•
Toolbox (Windows): When the Toolbox is communicating with the device, you
can use it to configure wireless profiles.
NOTE: If you are using a Pocket PC or Palm OS device, you can use the
Toolbox software for PDAs. For more information, see
Toolbox software for
PDAs (Pocket PC and Palm OS) .
• Wireless Profile Configuration Utility (Windows): You can use this tool to set
up multiple printers at one time using a USB Flash drive. For more information, see
Configure multiple printers for 802.11 (Windows) .
• HP Network Setup Tool (Mac OS): This tool automatically launches during
installation, or you can use it later to configure 802.11 wireless profiles. For more
information, see
HP Printer Utility (Mac OS) .
For instructions on configuring 802.11 wireless profiles after software installation, see

About 802.11 wireless network settings
In order to connect to an 802.11 wireless network, you need to know the network
settings. If you do not know the settings for a network, you will need to get this
information from a network administrator.
You can configure the following 802.11 options for each profile:
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
By default, the device looks for an ad hoc network called hpsetup. This is the wireless
network name, or SSID. Your network may have a different SSID.
