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

discovery program to locate the WindConnect Bluetooth Print Adapter (either the
