Connect Bluetooth master module to the USB port (or Serial) of PC and Bluetooth slave module to the
printers.
1) A network between PC (Master) and Printers (Slave) is n : n. The number of PC can be infinite on
network while printers can be max up to 7.
2) Master can designate the printer for use after finding all the printers installed around.
(Refer to Application programmer’s guide for developing Bluetooth application program)
3) Master can save Bluetooth address of the printers up to 7 and then no need to search for printers
4) Master can send data to max 7 printers at the same time.
5) Bluetooth compatible module like PDA also can use the printer.
