Bluetooth-enabled portable printer simple to use

6 September 2006 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Custom Printers has launched a portable Bluetooth-enabled printer. The S'Print uses Bluetooth wireless technology to make high-speed printing, up to 10 metres, easy. Unlike infrared it requires no alignment to the source.

The S'Print Bluetooth boasts the following features: easy-to-load paper rolls ('SixLoad' system) and includes a sensor to detect when paper has run out; paper width of 58 mm and printer dimensions and weight have been kept to a minimum; customer logo and most common bar codes printing - EAN 13, EAN 8, CODE 39, ITF, CODABAR; powered by long-life rechargeable batteries, with RS232 serial interface + Bluetooth - supported profiles are SPP (serial port profile) that provides RS232 serial cable emulation, and OPP (object push profile) enabling the print-out of vCard format objects (business cards).

With Bluetooth wireless technology it can be used together with PDAs, mobile phones and laptop computers. For example, S'Print can print out personal data stored in handhelds, such as business cards and appointment books, or SMS messages received on a mobile device. Text and graphics from Palm Powered products can be printed with the free PalmOSprint application. Libraries' sets are also available to allow printing application development. PalmOS and Microsoft PocketPC2002 (Windows CE compatible) are the supported platforms.

S'Print comes with a belt fixing hook and a tough shock-resistant holder. Other printers available in the S'Print range include serial, bi-directional infrared, IRDA or Wi-Fi interfaces.
