USING YOUR PRINTER WITHOUT A COMPUTER 19 PRINTING PHOTOS FROM A BLUETOOTH PERIPHERAL Your printer is equipped with an integrated Class 2 Bluetooth component. Its default address is 0000 so it can directly print any .JPEG transmitted from a Bluetooth mobile phone located within a maximum distance of 10 meters from the printer. note: You can change your printer's default Bluetooth address from your personal computer, if connected to the printer. Make sure that paper is loaded in the printer. For information see "Loading Paper". Open the printer's right outer door by pressing the upper centre part of the door to release it. Turn on your printer. See "Turning On Your Printer". Bluetooth capabilities are automatically activated on your printer. Turn on the Bluetooth peripheral that you want to print from and, from within a distance of 10 meters from the printer, launch a Bluetooth discovery procedure directly from your peripheral. By activating this procedure, your Bluetooth peripheral will search for another Bluetooth device in the vicinity (in this case, your printer) with which it can share data. For information on how to launch a Bluetooth discovery procedure, read your peripheral's User's Guide. When your Bluetooth peripheral has discovered your printer, launch the print job directly from your Bluetooth device. For instructions, read your peripheral's User's Guide. The Bluetooth activity indicator on the control panel will flash as the photos are being transferred from the Bluetooth device to your printer for printing. The photos will be printed without borders. 1 2 3 4 5 20 CHAPTER 2 3USING YOUR PRINTER FROM A COMPUTER BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE TOOLBOX THE PRINTER STATUS MONITOR PRINTING TRANSFERRING FILES FROM A MEMORY CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER SETTTING THE PARAMETERS TO IMPROVE PHOTO PRINT QUALITY USING YOUR PRINTER FROM A COMPUTER 21 BEFORE YOU BEGIN This chapter outlines the basic operating information that will put you in the condition to start using your printer when connected to a computer.
