“Bluetooth” is the name given to a technology standard using short-range
radio links, intended to replace cables connecting portable and fixed
electronic devices. The standard defines a uniform structure for a range of
devices to communicate with each other with minimal user effort. Its key
features are robustness, low complexity, low power, and low cost. The
technology offers wireless access to LANs, the mobile phone network, and
the internet for a host of home appliances and mobile computer interfaces.
Wireless Printing can also be done with Microsoft APIs, including
Bluetooth extensions for Winsock, and Bluetooth virtual COM ports.
Information about other Bluetooth software is in the Bluetooth Resource
Kit and the Bluetooth Resource Kit User's Guide via the Intermec Developer
Library (IDL), which is available as a download from the Intermec web via
www.intermec.com/idl. See your Intermec representative for information.
