Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I update my firmware?
A: Go to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/support/) and check for the latest firmware
revision. Print a self-test page by pressing the test button on the hp bt1300 printer adapter and
then comparing the firmware revision date with the firmware date shown on the web site. If the
dates are the same, no update is required. If you need to update your firmware, place the hp
bt1300 in configuration mode by pressing and holding the test button for five seconds. Use the
hp bt1300 configuration utility to update your firmware.
Q: Can I print using the USB and parallel connections simultaneously?
A: Although you can print using either the USB or parallel connection, you cannot print while
both ports are connected.
Q: When should I use BPP?
A: The Basic Printing Profile (BPP) is designed for use in cell phones and other small devices that
have limited memory capacity.
Q: What types of data can I print?
A: You can print PIM (Personal Information Manager) information (contacts, calendar, etc.) using
the default Object Push Profile (OPP) on all devices. Documents printed from PCs and laptops
can use standard print drivers. Documents printed from PDAs should use the hp Mobile
Printing for Pocket PC Utility.
Q: What is the simplest way to print wirelessly from my laptop?
A: If you are using an HP or Compaq laptop with embedded Bluetooth technology, use the HCRP
(Hard Copy Replacement Profile) that is found in HP 1.4 or Widcomm 1.4 software. If your
laptop does not have embedded Bluetooth technology, use the Serial Port Profile (SPP);
however, you will have to complete a COM port selection process in order to print wirelessly.
Q: What is the Microsoft Bluetooth stack?
A: The Microsoft Bluetooth stack refers to the Microsoft Windows XP operating system with SP1
(Service Pack 1) installed, which has Bluetooth technology built in and can be used with the hp
bt1300.
Q: When I update my firmware, do I lose my configuration or link keys?
A: No, but you will lose your configuration and link keys if you perform a cold reset.
