Bluetooth TBT1 port. This procedure is similar to the procedure described in the Adding a Windows Printer section of the previous chapter except that the local port is the COM port you created in step 1 instead of TBT1.

3.With some Bluetooth software you must first use the discovery program provid- ed with the Bluetooth PCMCIA card, USB adapter, or built-in adapter to con- nect to the WindConnect Bluetooth Print Adapter (refer to the documentation provided with the Bluetooth device for additional information). In some cases you will need to do two steps, an inquiry to find the WindConnect Bluetooth Print Adapter and then a discovery to select the P1 service. You then need to associate the COM port you created in Step 1 with the WindConnect Bluetooth Print Adapter and/or the P1 service in order to establish a Bluetooth wireless connection. The green LED on the WindConnect Bluetooth Print Adapter will come on when the connection is established.

Note that this step is not required for some Bluetooth programs, such as the 3Com Connection Manager, which perform the discovery process after you begin the printing process.

4.Select File and then Print from your Windows applications. If you previously associated the COM port with the WindConnect Bluetooth Print Adapter, the job should print immediately. If you did not previously make this association (for example, with the 3Com Connection Manager), then you will be asked which device you want to use. If this is the case, select the name of the WindConnect Bluetooth Print Adapter (XCD_xxxxxx by default) and then click the appropriate button to establish a connection and print.

5.After you have finished printing, you may need to manually break the Bluetooth connection in order to let other people use the printer. Refer to the documentation provided with the Bluetooth PCMCIA card, USB adapter, or built-in adapter for information on how to do this.
