Wireless printing

Wireless networks offer a safe, secure, and cost-effective alternative to traditional wired network
connections. See

Supplies and accessories

for a list of available wireless print servers.

IEEE 802.11 standard

Optional HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support connection to an 802.11 network. This wireless
technology provides a high-quality printing solution without the physical constraints of wiring.

Peripherals can be conveniently placed anywhere in an office or home and can be easily moved without
changing network cables. Installation is easy with the HP Install Network Printer Wizard.

NOTE

HP Jetdirect 802.11 print servers are available for USB connections.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth wireless technology is a low-power, short-range radio technology that can be used to
wirelessly connect computers, printers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones, and other
devices.

Unlike infrared technology, Bluetooth’s reliance on radio signals means that devices do not have to be
in the same room, office, or cubicle with an unobstructed line of sight in order to communicate. This
wireless technology increases portability and efficiency within business network applications.

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printer uses a Bluetooth adapter (HP bt1300) to incorporate
Bluetooth wireless technology. The adapter is available for either USB or parallel connections. The
adapter has a 10-meter line-of-sight operation range in the 2.5 GHz ISM band and can achieve data
transfer rates up to 723 Kbps. The device supports the following Bluetooth profiles:

Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP)

Serial Port Profile (SPP)

Object Push Profile (OPP)

Basic Imaging Profile (BIP)

Basic Printing Profile (BPP) with XHTML-Print
