HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Connecting Via Serial Port Profile

The method of connecting to the printer described below is for use of the Serial Port

Profile. For example, using the Bluetooth PC Card (part number F8T002), or the

Bluetooth USB Adapter (part number F8T001 or F8T003) from Belkin on Windows or

devices that use WIDCOMM BTW software.

1. Double-click on the Bluetooth

icon on your desktop.

2. Choose Bluetooth from the menu bar.

Click “Search for devices”. The “Belkin

USB Printer” icon should appear.

3. Double-click on the icon. You should

see “Discovering Services”. Icons will

appear symbolizing the services your

device offers.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Installing the USB Printer

Please do not connect any devices other than a USB printer directly to the USB port of

the Adapter.

1. With the printer powered off, connect one end of a standard USB cable to the USB

B-type connector of your USB printer and connect the other end to the USB type A

printer connector on the Adapter.

Note: You must have the printer driver installed in each computer you wish to print from

prior to use. Go to the Control Panel in Windows and open the “Printers” folder. Select

“Add a Printer” and choose a “Local Printer” (not network printer or USB printer). Then

select the “Bluetooth Port” as its’ port.

2. Connect the included power adapter into an available power outlet. Attach the barrel

plug into the power jack of the Adapter. You should see the Bluetooth and USB LED

blink rapidly for three seconds and then the USB (Amber) LED will remain blinking.

3. Power on the connected USB printer.

Your Bluetooth USB Printer Adapter is now installed and ready for use.

P74376ea_F8T031_man.qxd 11-11-2003 11:29 Page 8

7. Right-click on the printer you pre-installed and choose “Properties”.

8. Select the “Ports” tab.

9. Under the “Ports” section, select the printer

for the virtual COM port created in step 5.

You are now ready to print via Bluetooth

technology to your USB printer.

Note: Each time you would like to print via the

printer connected to the Adapter, you will have

to double-click on the “Virtual [USB Printer]”

icon first to make a connection, unless you set

the printer you created above to be your

default printer. In that case, the PC stack will

automatically send the print job via virtual

COM port.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

4. Double-click on the “Virtual Printer” icon.

5. A connection via Serial Port Profile over

the virtual COM port will be created. This

is usually “COM3” or “COM4” but can be

configured to another port. Make note of

the COM port for your specific application.

6. Go to Control Panel in Windows and open

the “Printers” folder.
