Installation
First of all, the computer that you plan to print from needs to have the printer driver, the easiest way is to
install the printer driver first. Due to the fact that all printer manufacturers have somewhat different
procedure to install the printer driver, we do not cover the printer driver installation in this manual.
Also, we do not cover the procedures of installing Bluetooth driver to your computer, we assume the
computer is already Bluetooth enabled. If you are using an IOGEAR Bluetooth USB adapter, please refer to
the manual for that unit for the detailed procedures.
The example below uses Epson C62 as the printer, the printer driver is installed after the installation of the
Bluetooth print adapter. Here are the steps:
Turn off the power of the printer;
Connect the Bluetooth print adapter to the printer using the USB B-B cable;
Turn on the power for the printer and plug the power adapter on the print adapter;
Configure the print adapter:
