Printing from Palm OS devices

You can print from Palm OS devices using an 802.11 or Bluetooth wireless connection and the Printboy
utility. Some Palm OS devices come with wireless integrated and some require you to install a separate
wireless card in your device to enable 802.11 or Bluetooth printing.

NOTE:

802.11 and Bluetooth wireless printing are available through wireless printer cards that are

included with certain printer models. For a description and illustration of the wireless printer cards, see

Installing and using 802.11 and Bluetooth accessories

.

The Printboy utility enhances the formatting for documents printed from standard Palm OS applications
such as the Address, Memo Pad, To Do List, Date Book, and Mail options. It also allows you to print using
Documents To Go. For more information, visit

Documents To Go enables you to print MS Word and MS Excel files. Find Documents To Go on the CD
