Printing from the PDA

To print from the Handspring Visor to a printer connected to the WindConnect Bluetooth Print Adapter you will need a Palm-compatible printing program such as Bachmann Software’s PrintBoy (www.bachmannsoftware.com), TealPoint Software’s TealPrint (www.tealpoint.com), or Stevens Creek Software’s PalmPrint (www.steven- screek.com). Since most of these programs support printing from either the serial port or the infrared port, you must first use the software's setup program to select the serial port.

The following are the steps for setting up the PrintBoy software. Note that you only need to do the setup procedure one time

1.Click the PrintBoy icon (if necessary, scroll down).

2.Click the Setup button.

3.Click the Edit button and note the Technology setting. If it is on Serial, skip to the next step. If it is IrDA, click on the adjacent down arrow and change the setting to Serial. Note that the Comm. Speed setting does not matter.
