Configuring to Communicate With a Wireless Printer

28
This section explains how to configure the computer for Bluetooth
wireless printing. You need to:
• make sure Bluetooth power is on. For help, see the procedure in
"Configuring Bluetooth Devices" on page
• create an application that lets you print. For help, see the next
section.
• select the current wireless printer on the computer.

Creating an Application That Lets You Print Wirelessly

The computer does not ship with an application that lets you print
wirelessly. You must create an application that opens the wireless
printing COM port on the computer. For help, see the Bluetooth
Resource Kit, which can be downloaded at www.intermec.com.
The Wireless Printing application is available from the Windows icon
> Settings > Control Panel. The application separates the task of
wireless printing setup from other Bluetooth management tasks.
The Wireless Printing application uses the concept of a "current
wireless printer." The computer connects to the current wireless
printer when your application opens the wireless printing COM port
on your computer. If there is no current wireless printer selected on
your computer, there is no wireless printing COM port registered on
your computer. You must select a current wireless printer as described
in the next section.
The Wireless Printing application performs these tasks on the
computer:
• Helps you select the current wireless printer
• Stores the current wireless printer in the registry
• Registers/deregisters the wireless printing COM port
• Stores the wireless printing COM port in the registry as the WPort
