You can print photos wirelessly from your Bluetooth-enabled PDA, cell phone, or computer when you use the optional Epson Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter. The adapter (part# C12C824383) is available from your local reseller or Epson. (See Buying a PictureMate 200 Series Print Pack for details.)
Note: While PictureMate Pal complies with the Bluetooth specification, it is not guaranteed to work with all devices enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology. Make sure your photos meet the requirements in Photo Image File Requirements.
The communication range of the Epson Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter is approximately 33 feet (10 meters); however, this may vary depending on conditions, including obstacles between devices, signal quality, magnetic fields, static electricity and electromagnetic interference, software, operating system, reception sensitivity, and antenna performance.
The following profiles are available for the adapter: Basic Imaging Profile (BIP), Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP), and Basic Printing Profile (BPP).
Caution: Do not connect or remove the adapter while it is communicating with a device or while PictureMate Pal is printing; this may cause PictureMate Pal to malfunction.
|

|
Plug the adapter all the way into the
 port on the back of PictureMate Pal. |
|

|
Select the photo you want to print from your Bluetooth device and send it to PictureMate Pal as follows:
|
|
•
|
Windows:
Send photos directly to PictureMate Pal with your Bluetooth file sharing program. See the documentation included with your computer’s Bluetooth adapter for details. |
|
•
|
Macintosh:
Double-click Bluetooth File Exchange in your Utilities folder. Follow the on-screen steps to choose a photo file, discover PictureMate Pal, and send photos. |
|
•
|
Cell phones or PDAs:
See your product’s documentation for instructions on setting up Bluetooth file sharing and sending files. |
If you see a Bluetooth error message on the PictureMate Pal screen, try printing the image from a memory card or your computer instead.
Note: To print from a device with encryption, to use pairing or a passkey, or to adjust Bluetooth settings, see Choosing Bluetooth Settings.
Caution: Do not remove the adapter while it is communicating with a device or while PictureMate Pal is printing; this may cause PictureMate Pal to malfunction.
If necessary, use the PictureMate Pal buttons to choose settings for Bluetooth wireless communication. You may need to enter a passkey for PictureMate Pal or turn on encryption, depending on the Bluetooth-enabled device from which you print.
