Connection: Notebook - printer

Two options of connecting Notebook and printer:

1) Connect your HP DJ 450 and your Notebook by using the USB cable which is provided in the scope of supply.

Ensure a clean cable routing here as well! Either route the USB printer cable around or underneath the printer.
Furthermore, make sure that the USB printer cable does not interfere with the printer paper output, thus preventing paper jams!

2) Data transfer between printer and Notebook via Bluetooth: Bluetooth is a new radio standard for cableless data transfer. The Notebook establishes the data connection via Bluetooth through an internal interface or a PC card module. The printer can be connected with a compact flash module, for example.

CAUTION!

Make sure that no cables are pinched when closing the case!
