GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BT-0260 PRINTER COMBO ADAPTER
BT-0260 printer combo adapter supports two interfaces which can
be used to connect with your printer.
1). IEEE-1284 - It is a 36-pin male connector on the front. Connect it to
your printer. If your printer hides its female connector inside its
case, then you have to open it.
2). USB - It is a USB type A connector. You need to connect one end of
the USB cable to BT-0260 printer combo adapter, then connect
another end to the printer.
Note : If your printer supports both interfaces, we recommend you to
choose just one to connect with BT-0260 printer combo adapter. If you
connect BT-0260 printer combo adapter to both of them, 1284 interface
will be the functioning one.
3). Apply power to BT-0260 adapter by using the 7.5V DC power adapter
accompanied, it is also the only way to RESET BT-0260.
4). Mode button is used by the advanced user to configure the printer
adapter for some special purposes, it is normally left unused. You
also can refer to the Utility Manual in CD for how to use it.

In the following example, we assume a BT-0260 printer combo adapter
(with series# : BT-PRT-B0A351) is connected to an EPSON Stylus C61
printer.

printer driver for it.

BT-0260 printer adapter to use. It
will ask you to install the printer
driver if it has not been installed in

box - Enable bidirectional support.
This feature allows computer to talk

some printers may stay at wait state
for one minute after printing is
done.
We recommend user to unmark or
disable bidirectional support.
Click OK to complete the
installation.

coming from different brands. In previous example, we selected EPSON
Stylus C61 color printer as our bluetooth printer. If you want to change it
