The Typhoon Bluetooth™ USB Host Printer Adapter provides a wireless cable replacement solution for USB printers. The Class 2/3 adapter when connected to a USB printer through a USB port turns it into a Bluetooth-enabled printer. The plug-n-play solution via embedded BT HCRP (Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile) or SPP (Serial Port Profile) on the adapter requires only that the PC side is Bluetooth enabled and supports the same profiles.
A USB printer with the adapter plugged in becomes a Bluetooth-enabled printer and being interoperable with Bluetooth-enabled PCs, which support the HCRP or SPP, wirelessly provides printing services to the remote PC clients.
Applications
The Typhoon Bluetooth™ USB Host Printer Adapter, when plugged into the USB port of an existing USB printer, makes the printer Bluetooth-enabled, enabling it to serve as a Bluetooth printer which communicates wirelessly with other Bluetooth client devices such as PC, PDA, etc. in serving their printing needs.
Used in homes and small offices, the adapter helps untangle the wired mess and provides the convenience of wireless printing. Bluetooth™ Printer support chart.
