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 802.11b standard

With the wireless HP Jetdirect 802.11b external print server, HP peripherals can be placed
anywhere in the office or home and connected to a wireless network running Microsoft,
Apple, Netware, UNIX, or Linux network operating systems. 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.

HP Jetdirect 802.11b print servers are available for USB and parallel 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 4650 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-site 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
