Supported Wireless Printing Connections

Wireless networks offer a safe, secure, and cost-effective alternative to traditional wired network connections.

IEEE 802.11 standard

Optional HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support connection to an 802.11 network. This wireless technology provides a high-quality printing solution without the physical constraints of wiring.

Peripherals can be conveniently placed anywhere in an office or home and can be easily moved without changing network cables. Installation is easy with the HP Install Network Printer Wizard.

NOTE: HP Jetdirect 802.11 print servers are available for USB connections.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth wireless technology is a low-power, short-range radio technology that can be used to wirelessly connect computers, printers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones, and other devices.

Unlike infrared technology, Bluetooth's reliance on radio signals means that devices do not have to be in the same room, office, or cubicle with an unobstructed line of sight in order to communicate. This wireless technology increases portability and efficiency within business network applications.

The HP Color LaserJet 4700 series printer uses a Bluetooth adapter (HP bt1300) to incorporate Bluetooth wireless technology. The adapter is available for either USB or parallel connections. The adapter has a 10-meter line-of-sight operation range in the 2.5 GHz ISM band and can achieve data transfer rates up to 723 Kbps. The device supports the following Bluetooth profiles:

Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP).

Serial Port Profile (SPP).

Object Push Profile (OPP).

Basic Imaging Profile (BIP).

Basic Printing Profile (BPP) with XHTML-Print.
