right-clicking your computer mouse button. When you tap and
hold, a circle of red dots appears around the stylus to indicate that
the menu will soon pop up.

Choosing the Resolution
You can choose from four resolutions (or sizes) for photos
captured (width by height in pixels) on your HP iPAQ. By using
one of the four resolutions, you can choose the photo quality for
your snapshots. Higher-quality (high resolution) photos look and
print better, especially at greater magnification. However,
higher-quality photos are larger in file size and require more
storage space. Lower-quality photos require less storage space
and less time to load when sending them by e-mail or infrared.
The Photosmart camera displays on the top right side of the
screen the estimated number of images remaining at the current
resolution and compression settings. For an example, refer to the
“Using Compression” section discussed earlier in this chapter.
The four resolutions available are:
■
1280x960 (default)
■
640x480 pixels
■
320x240 pixels
■
160x120 pixels

Setting
Description
Average
The camera uses the entire photo area to
calculate the exposure. Use this setting
when you want everything in the photo to
be used equally to calculate the exposure,
for example, when you are taking pictures
of a mountain scene.
Center-weighted
(default setting)
The camera uses a large area in the center
of the photo area to calculate the exposure.
Use this setting when the subject is in the
center of the frame, so exposure is based
more on the subject than the surroundings.
Turning Camera Sounds On/Off
With the camera sounds setting, you can turn on or off all camera
sounds made by your HP iPAQ.

Changing Video Settings
You can record video with audio using your HP iPAQ’s built-in
camera. You can record in either MotionJPEG format or H.263
format (available only on the rx3700 series). With MJPEG, a

more memory space per minute of video. With the H.263 format,
lower resolutions must be used but longer video clips can be
stored in less memory space. The amount of video you can record
with your HP iPAQ is limited only by the amount of memory
space you have on your HP iPAQ or on an SD/MMC memory
card.
To access the Video Settings menu:
1. From the Start menu, tap Programs > HP Photosmart or

How To Connect To The Printer
Before selecting the printer, HP Mobile Print needs to know how
it will be connecting to that printer. HP Mobile Print currently
supports Infrared (IR), Bluetooth, Network-based, and
Service-based connections. While the printer may have multiple
ways to connect, only one connection method can be set up at a
time. For example, the HP DeskJet 995c supports both IR and
Bluetooth connections, thus both IR and Bluetooth are valid
selections for connecting to this printer. The user can set up a
connection to print via Bluetooth right now and later set up an IR
connection to the same printer.
Selecting a connection method depends on what connections your
printer supports. To determine if a printer has IR or Bluetooth
capabilities, look for the IR port and Bluetooth radio located on
the outside of the printer. If neither of these are visible, then you
might try connecting to the printer via a network or through a
print service.

The Content Transformation Preferences screen is split into two
lists. The top list represents all the file types that can be printed
from print enabled applications. The bottom list represents the
modules that can transform the content of the selected file type
into something printable. If a print enabled application does not
distinguish which module it uses to print a given file type, the one
highlighted in the bottom list will be used to transform the
content of that file so that it can be printed. Select which module
will be used for a given file type by choosing a file type from the
upper list and then choosing a module from the lower list.
For instance, a bmp file (bitmap) can be printed through a CT
module provided by HP or WestTek. If the application has no
preference, it will print bmp files through the WestTek module
since that is the one currently selected.

Managing the Battery
Installing the Battery
The HP iPAQ rx3000 series Mobile Media Companion has a
small internal backup battery that allows you to change the main
battery without losing main memory data (user-installed
programs and data) as long as it is replaced immediately.
It is recommended that you fully charge the HP iPAQ battery
before setting up the unit, and recharge regularly. Your HP iPAQ
uses some power to maintain files in main memory and the clock.
While working at your desk, keep the HP iPAQ charging. When
you travel, it is recommended that you carry the AC Adapter,
Charger Adapter plug, or an optional spare battery with you.
Your HP iPAQ is shipped with the battery partially charged.
To install the removable/rechargeable battery in the HP iPAQ:
1. On the back of the HP iPAQ, slide the Cover Release latch 1,
pull the cover’s edge away from the unit 2, and remove the
