the printer’s Bluetooth wireless feature

This section explains some basic elements of the printer’s Bluetooth wireless feature.

Bluetooth wireless basics

30 feet (10 meters) or less

Bluetooth wireless technology allows devices, such as printers and notebooks, to communicate over short distances of up to 30 feet (10 meters) or less using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz spectrum.

30 feet (10 meters) or less

To be Bluetooth-enabled, a device must have a Bluetooth wireless radio module. The HP Deskjet 450 printer has an optional Bluetooth CompactFlash card accessory.

Unlike infrared communication, Bluetooth wireless technology does not require a direct line of sight between the sending device and the receiving device.

one device at a time

The Bluetooth CompactFlash card can only establish a Bluetooth wireless connection with one device at a time.

If the printer is busy with a Bluetooth wireless connection, the Bluetooth LED flashes. The printer ignores any other device that tries to establish a connection. The device must wait until the original connection is closed before it can establish a new connection.

41

Bluetooth discovery

Discovery is the process by which a Bluetooth-enabled device detects other

Bluetooth-enabled devices that are within range.

When a device discovers the printer, it displays the printer’s

Bluetooth device name (see page 43) or the model name appended by its serial number.

The method of discovery varies according to the type of Bluetooth software used.

Configuration page

The Configuration page shows information you need when using the printer.

To print a Configuration page, press and hold the

Power

button while tapping the

Cancel

(X) button 4 times.

42

printer-specific Bluetooth information

Each hp deskjet 450 printer has the following items that are specific to the printer:

Bluetooth device name

Bluetooth device address

PIN code

To see the Bluetooth-specific information for your printer, print a

Configuration page (see page 42).

Bluetooth device name

When a device discovers the printer, it displays the printer’s Bluetooth device name or the model name appended by its serial number.

The printer’s default Bluetooth device name is: dj450/[serial number].

You can change the printer’s Bluetooth device name by using the

Configure

Bluetooth Settings

dialog box. See changing wireless settings on page 46.

The printer’s Bluetooth device name appears in Bluetooth applications only. In the Windows Printers folder, the printer is identified as the hp deskjet 450 printer.

Bluetooth device address

Bluetooth devices exchange Bluetooth device addresses when they interact.

You cannot change the printer’s Bluetooth device address.

PIN code

When the printer is set to

encryption required (see page 44), devices

attempting to use the printer are prompted for a PIN code.

The default PIN code is

0

. You can change the PIN code by using the

Configure Bluetooth Settings

dialog box. See changing wireless settings on page 46.

43

access modes

Access modes determine the level of access that Bluetooth-enabled devices have to the printer.

The printer has four access modes:

public mode private mode turn off Bluetooth encryption required

To set the access mode for the printer, use the

Configure Bluetooth Settings

dialog box. See

changing wireless settings on page 46.

public mode

When the printer is in Public Mode:

• Any Bluetooth-enabled device within range can discover the printer.

private mode

When the printer is in Private Mode:

• Only devices that have stored its Bluetooth device address can discover it.

• The Bluetooth LED light is off when the printer is idle.

turn off Bluetooth

When the printer’s Bluetooth feature is turned off:

• The printer cannot be discovered by other Bluetooth-enabled devices.

encryption required

The printer can be set to require encryption when it receives data over a

Bluetooth wireless connection.

When the Ecryption Required option is selected, the printer requires that:

• All data sent over a Bluetooth wireless connection be encrypted.

• All users enter a PIN code (see page 43) the first time they print.

44
