Placing the hp bt1300 into Configuration Mode or Firmware Upgrade Mode
Press and hold the test button for at least five seconds until the bi-colored LED cycles between green
and amber to indicate that it is in the configuration mode. After the hp bt1300 configuration is
complete, the device will automatically reboot. After rebooting, the device will return to a ready state,
indicated by a solid green LED (refer to Chapter 5 – Troubleshooting for detailed LED status light
descriptions).
NOTE: You cannot print while the hp bt1300 is in configuration mode.
Connect to the hp bt1300 Using SPP
1. Launch your Bluetooth software by double-clicking on the Bluetooth icon (e.g., My Bluetooth
Places, My Bluetooth Neighborhood, etc.) on the Windows desktop.
2. Click on View devices in range or Discover (wording my very depending on your Bluetooth
software application) to begin a search for available Bluetooth devices.
NOTE: If your hp bt1300 is connected to a printer, it will be listed as "<name of printer> bt1300 (XX:XX)"
where XX:XX is the last four digits of the hp bt1300's address, which can be found on the hp bt1300 or on
the self-test page (e.g., HP LaserJet 4200 bt1300 (99:85)). If the hp bt1300 is unable to obtain the printer's
name it is attached to, it will be listed as hp bt1300 (XX:XX).
3. Establish a connection with the hp bt1300's serial port service. A successful connection is usually
indicated with an icon on the service (depending on your Bluetooth software), and a window will
appear, designating the COM port that the connection is using.
NOTE: Most Bluetooth device software that supports SPP will automatically create a virtual COM port (serial
connection). In some cases, you may have to add a virtual COM port. This procedure and the naming
conventions used may vary slightly for different vendors. In general, go to Bluetooth Device
Configuration, click on Client Application, and note the COM port made available for use when adding a
printer, or if needed, add a COM port.
NOTE: The blue LED on the hp bt1300 will illuminate when a Bluetooth connection is established.
For Laptops using Widcomm 1.4 software, follow the procedure below:
1. Go to My Bluetooth Places.
2. Select Bluetooth Setup Wizard.
3. Select I know the service I want to use and I want to find a device that provides that service.
4. Select Bluetooth serial port, and then click on Next.
