OVERVIEW LED: USB LED: Bluetooth LEDs Bluetooth LED (Blue) On/Blinking: Bluetooth device is connected to the Adapter Off: No Bluetooth devices are connected to the Adapter USB LED (Amber) Fast Blinking: No printer detected Slow Blinking: Printer detected 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. 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 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. 10 HARDWARE INSTALLATION 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. 11 HARDWARE INSTALLATION Connecting Via Hardcopy Replacement Profile The method of connecting to the printer described below is for use of the Hardcopy Replacement 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. 12 HARDWARE INSTALLATION 4. Double-click on the “Hardcopy Cable Replacement” icon. 5. You will be prompted to add a printer. Click “OK”. 13 HARDWARE INSTALLATION 6. The “Add Printer Wizard” will appear. Select the printer from the list or browse for the printer connected to your Adapter. 7. Follow the wizard to complete the printer installation. 14 FAQs Which Bluetooth Profiles does the USB Printer Adapter support? The Adapter supports the Serial Port Profile and the Hardcopy Replacement Profile. Can I connect multiple Bluetooth devices to the Adapter? Yes, you may. Every time a print job is sent, your computing device will create a connection with the Adapter. Once the print job is complete, your computing device will disconnect and make the Adapter available for other devices to use. My Printer Status Monitor Utility indicates that there is no connection with the printer. Is my Adapter functioning properly? Because the Adapter disconnects after every print job to make itself available to other devices, there is no constant communication between your Adapter and your computing device. This may conflict with some printer monitor utilities. We recommend that you disable any printer monitor utilities for your printer or disable bidirectional support for the connected printer. 15 FAQs Does the Adapter support multifunctional printers? We recommend that you do not use multifunctional printers that support other non-printing functions. The Adapter only supports printing via Bluetooth. Other functions like scanning will not work through the Adapter. Can I print from my Pocket PC or Palm™ handheld enabled with Bluetooth technology? Yes, you can. You will need to install a print utility on your PDA first. For example, “PrintPocketCE” for Pocket PCs from Field Software or “PrintBoy” for Palm OS® by Pearson Software. 16 INFORMATION DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY WITH FCC RULES FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY We, Belkin Corporation, of 501 West Walnut Street, Compton, CA 90220, declare under our sole responsibility that the product, F8T031 to which this declaration relates, complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
