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.
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.
