Hi @Mimi1100,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It seems like your HP LaserJet M234sdw is experiencing a couple of issues: the orange warning light is blinking, and you're having trouble with Bluetooth connectivity.

Orange Warning Light

The blinking orange light on your printer typically indicates a problem that needs attention. Here are some common reasons for this:

1. Paper Jam: Check for any jammed paper in the printer.
2. Low or Empty Toner: Ensure that your toner cartridge is properly installed and not empty.
3. Error Condition: There might be an error that requires troubleshooting, such as a connectivity issue​​.

To address the orange light, try the following:

• Restart the printer to see if it resets the error.
• Check the printer’s display panel for specific error messages.
• Consult the HP Support documentation for specific troubleshooting steps related to the error condition​​.

Bluetooth Connectivity Issues

Regarding the Bluetooth connection, the HP LaserJet M234sdw does support Bluetooth, but it can sometimes be tricky to connect. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Ensure Bluetooth is Enabled: On your iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
2. Update Printer Firmware: Check if your printer's firmware is up to date. You can do this through the HP Smart app.
3. Use the HP Smart App: If you haven't already, download the HP Smart app on your iPhone. This app can help set up and manage your printer more easily​​.
4. Reboot Devices: Sometimes, a simple reboot of both your printer and your phone can resolve connection issues.

Windows 10 Connectivity

If you’re having trouble connecting to your laptop as well, ensure that:

• Your printer and laptop are on the same Wi-Fi network.
• You’ve installed the correct drivers from the HP website.
• Use the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool to diagnose and fix any connectivity problems​

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
