    Bluetooth port/transmitter/station


    Hi,

    I have non-wireless scanner. I want to make it Bluetooth enabled.
    Is there a Bluetooth port/transmitter/station that would sit between my scanner and my W10 laptop.....?
    I want to plug in the data cable from my scanner into this Bluetooth device, but the device would recognize the Bluetooth on my W10 laptop.
    Did not see anything on Amazon.
    Any suggestions.....?

    Thank you,
    BBDS

    You did not fill in your My Computer information, hard to give advice.

    The only thing that comes to mind is a Print Server, a device attached to a network and the printer to it. Some years ago I worked in a shop where we set up a computer as a Print Server, attached the printer to it then install on other computers.

    Because my question was not related to my laptop specifically I did not provide any details.
    My laptop is W10 HP Bluetooth enabled.

    I see plenty of audio Bluetooth transmitters, why no data transmitters.....?

    Bluetooth is a short-range wireless, what else should it be? And anytime there's a malfunction in computing the computer is involved, like it or not. I use Bluetooth mice on every computer I have with the function, usually part of the Wireless/Wi-Fi adapter, even have one computer from 2012 that came with a Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth Touchpad and have added a Bluetooth mouse.

    I do not think you understood my question.
