Printing from a Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled device

The on-board Bluetooth radio uses Bluetooth 1.1 technology, allowing you to print from compatible Bluetooth technology enabled devices, including many personal digital assistants (PDAs) and wireless mobile telephones. Use your wireless device to review pictures, choose printing options, and print.

NOTE: The EasyShare photo printer 500 supports OPP (Object Push) and FTP (File Transfer) profiles only. Check your Bluetooth technology enabled device specifications (or contact the manufacturer) to see what profiles are supported by your device.

By default, the on-board Bluetooth radio is on and ready to receive signals from a compatible Bluetooth technology enabled device.


To turn the Bluetooth radio off:
  • Press the Bluetooth button. Press again to turn it on.

To turn the Bluetooth radio default to always off:
  • Press and hold the Bluetooth button for 5 seconds.

    Repeat to turn the default to always on.

NOTE: You must be within 30 ft (10 m) or less of the photo printer for the wireless signal to be received.

To print from your Bluetooth technology enabled device:

  1. Set wireless technology on your device to On, then select pictures to print.

    Available Bluetooth wireless technology devices are displayed on your device.

  2. Select your printer on your device.

    NOTE: If your device requires you to set authentication, enter pin number 1111 (default).

  3. Select Send or Beam on your device.

    The selected images are sent to the photo printer for printing. If the photo printer is busy, it may notify your device.
