Verify Setup
If you can print a self-test page, your hp bt1300 and printer are communicating properly. If you cannot
print a self-test page, verify that the following general requirements are met:
 Ensure your printer already functions properly via a USB or parallel printer cable.
 Ensure that you are not attempting to use the USB and parallel connections simultaneously. The
hp bt1300 supports either a USB or parallel connection to your printer, but will not work if you
attempt to use both types of connections simultaneously.
 Ensure the appropriate software is installed for your PCMCIA card and/or USB adapter. Ensure
the sending device is within maximum unobstructed range of 10 meters (33 feet). If your sending
device is not able to discover the hp bt1300 on the first attempt, try searching for the device more
than once. In many cases a second attempt will prove successful.
 Ensure the hp bt1300 is in discovery mode (bi-colored LED illuminated solid green, blue LED
blinking slowly). If not, reboot the printer adapter by momentarily removing power from the
device and then restoring power again. Wait for the device to initialize.
 Ensure power is supplied to the printer and the hp bt1300. Some printers can supply the required
5 volts to the hp bt1300 via pin 18 on the parallel port. Check the documentation supplied with
your printer to determine if you need the external power supply that came with your hp bt1300.
