Some programs can connect only though a serial (COM) port. This can be 
true even if the device itself is Bluetooth-enabled. To make it possible for 
such programs to use a Bluetooth connection, you must set up a virtual 
COM port. Once created, this virtual port can be used like any other COM 
port. You can use a virtual COM port for programs that, for example, or to 
connect to a Bluetooth-enabled printer.
Here are some examples of how to use incoming and outgoing virtual 
COM ports.

You have a program on your device that cannot use Bluetooth directly but 
can print to a serial (COM) port. You can create a Bluetooth partnership 
with a Bluetooth-enabled printer, and then set up an outgoing COM port 
(for example, COM 1). The program can then send print data to COM 1, 
which reaches the Bluetooth-enabled printer.

The New Outgoing Port menu command is available only if one or more 
Bluetooth-connected devices support serial (COM) connections. 
Make sure that your device is currently connected to the other device 
via Bluetooth.
