It supports the following profiles: Object Push Profile (OPP), Serial Port Profile (SPP), Basic Print Profile (BPP), and PCL3 printing. Check with your Bluetooth-enabled device manufacturers (cellular phone or PDA) to determine their hardware compatibility and interoperability. It is recommended that you use the latest firmware on your Bluetooth-enabled device.
