Printing Additional Jobs

After you print the first time, your application will remember the printer you used. If you print again,
the job will be sent to the hp bt1300-equipped printer automatically. You can either click on File,
Print, and OK, or just click on the printer icon on your application's toolbar, and then click on OK.
If you have more than one hp bt1300 wireless print adapter installed and have added those printers in
your PC, you can select a different printer to print your document before clicking on OK. In this case,
each printer that uses Bluetooth technology must use a unique COM port (applies to Anycom only) in
order to send the print job to the correct hp bt1300-equipped printer.

How to Set Up and Print from a Laptop Using SPP

NOTE: If your Bluetooth software does not support HCRP, you must configure your software to use the
Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP), which functions as a virtual COM port, to print.
If your software supports printing with HCRP, use that method (refer to your software vendor's
instructions). Most applications that use Bluetooth technology support printing using SPP. If you
software does not support HCRP, use the following instructions for printing using SPP.

Connect to Your Printer

After successful installation of your Bluetooth software application, you must then verify that your
Bluetooth device, PCMCIA card, or USB adapter is working properly and is able to discover your hp
bt1300 by performing the following steps (steps may vary, depending on your vendor's software):
1. Launch your software by double-clicking on the Bluetooth icon (e.g., My Bluetooth Places, My
Bluetooth Neighborhood, etc.) on the Windows desktop.
2. Click on View devices in range or Discover (wording may vary depending on your software
application) to begin a search for available devices.
NOTE: If your hp bt1300 is connected to a printer, it will be listed as "<name of printer> bt1300 (XX:XX)"
where XX:XX is the last four digits of the hp bt1300's address, which can be found on the hp bt1300 or on
the self-test page (e.g., HP LaserJet 4200 bt1300 (99:85)). If the hp bt1300 is unable to obtain the printer's
name it is attached to, it will be listed as hp bt1300 (XX:XX).
3. Establish a connection with the hp bt1300's serial port service. A successful connection is usually
indicated with an icon on the service (depending on your software), and a window will appear,
designating the COM port that the connection is using.
NOTE: The blue LED on the hp bt1300 will illuminate when a connection is established.
NOTE: Most device software that supports SPP will automatically create a virtual COM port (serial
connection). In some cases, you may have to add a virtual COM port. This procedure and the naming
conventions used may vary slightly for different vendors. In general, go to Bluetooth Device
Configuration, click on Client Application, and note the COM port made available for use when adding a
printer, or if needed, add a COM port.
