Bluetooth wireless printing

Use an optional HP Bluetooth Wireless Printer Adapter to print images from most
Bluetooth devices to the printer without a cable connection. Simply insert the Bluetooth
adapter (also known as a dongle) into the front USB port of the printer and print from a
Bluetooth device such as a PDA, camera phone, or computer. For more information, see
the documentation included with the adapter.

Configure the Bluetooth settings on the printer

by using either the printer's embedded

Web server (EWS) or the HP Printer Utility, depending on whether the printer is
connected to a network.
