Set Bluetooth security for the HP All-in-One

You can enable printer security settings through the Bluetooth menu on the HP All-in-

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".
