Bluetooth devices is its support for the Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol and Serial
Port Profile. These capabilities, which make the Bluetooth link appear to the device
as an RS-232 serial connection, are implemented in a number of Bluetooth devices,
including laptop computers with Bluetooth PCMCIA cards and PDAs with
Bluetooth modules. In many cases, no special software is required on the sending
device because existing printing applications and utilities that use the serial port can
often run unmodified over the Bluetooth link using the Serial Port Profile.
Using the WindConnect with Other Devices that Support the
Serial Port Profile
To print from other types of Bluetooth devices, first make sure that the device sup-
ports the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile and that it can print using this profile. In most
cases, the device’s software will either create a virtual communications port or redirect
all output that is normally intended for the serial port over the Bluetooth port.
