Printing from your camera phone with Bluetooth® wireless technology is a fun way to quickly and easily print photos for yourself or to share with family and friends. You no longer need to
keep your digital memories trapped on a small, low resolution screen.

What is it? |
|
Bluetooth wireless technology establishes connections between devices within a short range (about thirty feet). It's a standard feature of most camera phones sold today and is a
common method for mobile handheld printing.
Many HP printers offer embedded Bluetooth wireless technology which allows photo printing from most camera phones and smart phones that support Bluetooth. View supported printers
Many more HP printers can be upgraded to support Bluetooth with the purchase of the HP bt500 Bluetooth Adapter.

How do I make it work? |
|
Step one: Make sure that you have a phone and printer that both support Bluetooth wireless technology.*
Step two: Open the image on your phone that you wish to print, then select the button associated with the "options" or "menu"
selection – often on the lower right of the screen.**
|
|
 |
|
Step three: You will then see numerous additional choices. The most common choices to print from your Bluetooth enabled phone are:
"Print," "Send," "Send to Bluetooth" or "Beam."**
Step four: Choose your Bluetooth enabled device from the list offered. Printing should occur without delay. Most phones will default to a
4" x 6" (10cm x 15cm) size photo and will choose the printers main paper tray as its source for printing. Your printer should default to the automatic photo tray (if
available in your model), otherwise it will default to the printers main paper tray.

Pairing of Devices |
|
While many phones no longer require any further steps, some phones require you to "pair" your devices prior to printing for the first time. Some phones will allow you to pair during the
printing process described above. If your phone allows you to pair while you are trying to print, you will only need to know the pairing code for HP Bluetooth enabled printers. This code is
"0000" (4 zeros). Once paired, that phone and printer combination should print without further delay.
If your phone requires you to pair the devices prior to attempting to print, follow these steps:
Step one: Go back to the main phone menu and select either the "Settings" or "Tools" option. Then look for an option such as "Bluetooth" or "Connectivity" and select.
Step two: Next, look for an option such as "Set up devices" or "Add a new device". Once selected, the phone will typically ask you to ensure that the device is in a "discoverable" state (powered on with Bluetooth wireless technology options enabled).
Step three: Select the desired printer and select the "pair" option. When prompted, enter the pairing code of "0000" (4 zeros). Once paired, go back to the original steps above and try printing again.
