Understanding Bluetooth Printers And Ink Cartridges A Little More

Many people have wondered where the name "Bluetooth" came from

. It's not very "tech" sounding and really doesn't seem to have anything to do with its technology. However, its origins definitely fit its name. There was a Danish King in the 900's that was known for bringing the people of many different tribes together into one kingdom by a distinct way of communicating. What was his name? You guessed it, King Bluetooth.

Accordingly, the radio technology of Bluetooth mirrors this same concept of communication. It unites many devices remotely and cordlessly. Principally, the Bluetooth technology was created to allow devices to communicate within a short distance and not necessarily within vision of each other.

The first popular use of this technology was in headsets and cell phones. Being able to talk on your phone hands-free has become the normal thing to do these days. Some people never take their earpiece off all day because it has become an ordinary function of their day to day phone conversations. How many people do you see walking around in public looking like they are talking to themselves? Most likely, they are talking to a colleague or client on their cell phone, with an earpiece using a Bluetooth adaptor.

Soon after the popularity of use with cell phones exploded, Bluetooth gravitated to computer mice, keyboards, and printers. PDAs or Personal Digital Assistants and interactive games, such as the Wii and Play station 3 have now been equipped with Bluetooth technology. Transferring files and updating calendars remotely has become a routine task in everyday life.

Another great way that Bluetooth technology has been employed to be used in our day to day business activities is by the ability to print documents, receipts and photos from our cell phones, PDA's and computers. Whether you are in a small office or have a Bluetooth enabled portable printer with you in the field, it is easy to print whatever you need.

Older printers are also still usable with the Bluetooth. Buying an adaptor is easy and keeps you from having to buy a whole new printer that happens to have the Bluetooth technology built in. As long as your computer, PDA or cell phone with Bluetooth is within the 30 to 300 foot range of the printer, you are fine. However, there are a couple of negative aspects to printing in this fashion.

If too many people are trying to send print jobs to the printer at once, it can get jammed or slow down exceedingly. Also, if there are other people within range of you who have the ability and desire to hack into your system, they will be able to do it easily without you knowing. As long as your printer is set in the mode where your Bluetooth devices can communicate with it, security of information is vulnerable.

Using a printer with Bluetooth technology is easy and affordable. Deciding whether or not it is for you depends on the level of concern for security or need for convenience.
