Bluetooth Configuration (cont'd) Applications > Printer Basic Printing Profile (BPP) Overview The Basic Printing Profile (BPP) defines how a Bluetooth device can send print job requests to a Bluetooth enabled printer without the need for devicespecific printer drivers. Common applications of BPP include printing e-mail messages, short messages (SMS), and formatted documents. Optional support for the printing of structured data objects such as vCard and vCalendar entries is also defined, as well as methods for negotiating the use of other formats supported by the printer. The Basic Printing Profile allows a Bluetooth enabled printer to act as a print server to accept objects pushed by a sender, for example a PDA or a mobile phone, and print out the result. Two roles are defined for this application: A Printer is a server device used as an object exchange server. A Sender is the client device that pushes an object to the Printer BPP also specifies two types of print service: Direct Printing and Reference Printing. For Direct Printing jobs or services, the content to be printed is stored on the Sender. For Reference Printing jobs or services, the content to be printed is stored on the network and referenced by the Sender in queuing a print request. The Printer's main task is to accept a print request of either type from a Sender, queue it, and print the content. Configure The Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Client Applications > My Printer > General tab provides options to configure: • The application name-to change it, highlight the existing name and enter the new name. • Enable or disable secure connection.
