Epson 1280 Benutzerhandbuch

If your Bluetooth-enabled laptop computer supports the Bluetooth Serial Port
Profile, you can use it to print to the following printers: EPSON Stylus C60,
EPSON Stylus C80, EPSON Stylus Photo 820, EPSON Stylus Photo 890, and
EPSON Stylus Photo 1280. Your laptop may either have built-in Bluetooth
capabilities, or a Troy WindPort PCMCIA card.

Although other Bluetooth PCMCIA cards may work with the
print adapter, EPSON recommends that you use the WindPort
card to ensure that the print adapter works correctly.

This chapter explains how to create a virtual COM port, configure the printer
driver to use the virtual port, and print. For complete configuration information,
see your Windows documentation.

Most Bluetooth devices that support the Bluetooth Serial Port profile allow you to
create a virtual COM port. A COM port (for example, COM1) is normally used
with an RS-232 connection or a modem. A virtual COM port emulates a COM
port, but works over the Bluetooth wireless link.

To add a virtual COM port, follow the instructions that came with your laptop,
Bluetooth PCMCIA card, or USB dongle. The name of the virtual port should
start with COM and end with a number (for example, COM4). Make sure that
you don’t use the name of an existing COM port (generally, you can’t use COM1
or COM2). In some cases, you need to restart your laptop to enable the port.

Before you begin, follow your printer documentation to install the printer driver
and set up your printer. Then follow these steps to configure the printer driver to
use the virtual COM port.
