Automatic paper-type sensor The HP automatic paper-type sensor detects the paper in the printer, and then selects optimal print settings for that media. The result is fewer mouse clicks to start printing, and automatic optimal print quality on plain, photo, brochure and other high-quality papers. The sensor also checks the paper width to ensure it matches the size selected in the printer software. If the widths are different, the printer warns you so that you do not waste a sheet of paper.
4 Connect to the printer ● ● ● ● ● Wireless networking Wired Ethernet networking Connecting a digital camera USB Bluetooth wireless printing USB The printer connects to the computer with a universal serial bus (USB) cable. For instructions about connecting the printer with a USB cable, see the setup poster that came with the printer. Note A USB cable might not be packaged with the printer.
To change a USB connection to an Ethernet connection 1. Unplug the USB connection from the back of the printer. 2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the back of the printer to an available Ethernet port on the router, switch, or access point. 3. Insert the printer software CD in the computer CD-ROM drive, and then follow the onscreen instructions. This runs the Setup Wizard. 4. On the Connection Type screen, select Wired Network, and then click Next. 5.
Chapter 4 802.11a is an emerging wireless networking technology that operates in the 5 GHz frequency band and offers communication speeds similar to those of 802.11g. The printer cannot communicate with 802.11a devices over a wireless connection. If you have an 802.11a wireless network, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network's Wireless Access Point (WAP) in order to achieve a processing speed comparable to that of the 802.11a network. If your wireless network supports 802.
Communication modes There are two types of communication modes for wireless devices: ● ● Infrastructure mode Ad hoc Infrastructure mode For optimal performance and security in a wireless network, HP recommends you use a Wireless Access Point (WAP) (802.11b or g) to connect the printer and other network devices. When network devices are connected through an access point, this is called an infrastructure network. A wireless network without an access point is called an ad hoc network.
Chapter 4 Note An ad hoc network is available if you do not have an access point. However, it provides little flexibility, a low level of network security, and slower network performance than with an access point. For a wireless ad hoc setup, you need to manually turn on the wireless radio. Switch between 802.11b and 802.11g The ad hoc communication mode defaults to 802.11b. The infrastructure communication mode defaults to 802.11g. Use the printer's embedded Web server (EWS) to change these settings.
● ● ● ● Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing cabinets, and other electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, as these objects can disrupt radio signals. Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures as these objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength. For an infrastructure network, position the WAP in a central location in line of sight with the wireless devices on the network.
Chapter 4 Mixed wired and wireless networks Wireless devices often exist on a largely wired network. In this case, a WAP is connected to the main network by an Ethernet cable plugged into the WAP's WAN port. The WAP acts as the go-between for the wired devices and the wireless devices. The wired devices communicate with the WAP over the Ethernet cable, while the wireless devices communicate with the WAP over radio waves.

Chapter 4 1 Network name equals "network_1" 2 Network name equals "network_2" The network name for one wireless network is network_1. The network name for the other wireless network is network_2. The printer is configured for network_1 The printer's network name (SSID) setting has been configured for network_1. The printer can only communicate to network_1. In other words, the printer can only accept print jobs from network_1.
1 Network name equals "network_1" 2 Network name equals "network_2" Wireless security The printer can be configured for several wireless security options depending on the type of wireless network of which the printer is part. Infrastructure networks ● ● ● WPA WEP Open System Ad hoc networks (wireless direct-connect) ● ● WEP Open System For more information about wireless security, see the authentication and encryption page.
Chapter 4 Authentication and encryption Wireless security is a complex and developing topic. This page gives a brief overview of the basics involved in making a wireless network secure. In the simplest terms, wireless security involves two strategies: authentication and encryption. A wireless security method, such as WEP or WPA, involves varying levels of authentication and encryption.
Encryption involves using a password to encode data sent over a wireless network in order to make the data unintelligible to eavesdroppers. Only devices that know the password can decode the data. Types of encryption The printer supports four types of encryption. Each type of encryption has its benefits and limitations. Encryption type Description Benefits Limitations Open System Devices on a network do not encrypt data. Least complicated strategy. Provides no protection against eavesdroppers.
Chapter 4 (continued) Encryption type Description Benefits Limitations changes the encryption keys after a certain time interval, thus making the wireless network less vulnerable to eavesdropping.

How the wireless radio works The wireless radio broadcasts on the 2.4 GHz frequency whenever the wireless radio is powered on and enabled. The wireless radio automatically turns off when the printer is powered off or unplugged from a power source. If the printer is connected to an active Ethernet network with an Ethernet cable, the wireless radio is inactive and the printer will not make a wireless connection. Note USB connections have no effect on the radio's functionality.

encode data. AES automatically changes the encryption keys after a certain time interval, thus making the wireless network less vulnerable to eavesdropping. Authentication: Authentication is a wireless network security strategy. On a network with authentication, devices use a shared key as a password and communicate only with devices that know the key. Authentication does not encrypt the data sent between wireless devices. Authentication can be used in conjunction with WEP.
