1 Use your Opal for printing
The Opal wireless printer adapter uses Bluetooth wireless technology to allow you to print
without using a cable. In general, Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless
technology that allows connection between devices without requiring a cable. By using
your Opal, you can print from your camera phone, PDA, digital camera, or computer to
selected HP printers and all in ones.
NOTE: Check the documentation for your printer to verify the devices you can use
to print to it.
TIP: Check www.hp.com/go/Bluetooth for a current list of supported printers and
other valuable information concerning your Bluetooth adapter.
Bluetooth basics
The following concepts will help you use your Opal; with your particular printer.
Generally, the sending device (camera, PDA, computer, etc.) sends a signal and
discovers the nearby Bluetooth printing devices and displays their Bluetooth device
names. Then, you simply print or send to that printer name.
TIP: For most devices, the default settings will allow you to print without making any
changes. However, a Bluetooth device may be set to be visible or invisible and may
have security settings established. If you have difficulty printing to your printer,
consult
Opal access modes.
Bluetooth device name
When a sending device discovers the printer, it displays the printer's Bluetooth device
name. The printer's default Bluetooth device name can be found and changed in the
printer's Bluetooth control panel menu.
