Connect to a printer

Generally, the sending device (camera, PDA, computer, etc.)
sends a signal and discovers the nearby Bluetooth printing
devices and displays their Bluetooth device names. Then, you
simply print or send to that printer name.

Tip: The printer’s default Bluetooth device name can be
found in the printer’s Bluetooth menu or user guide.

For most devices, the default settings will allow you to print
without making any changes. However, a Bluetooth device
may be set to be visible or invisible and may have security
settings established. If you have di culty printing to your
printer, consult the user guide for your printer.
