The above now has Bluetooth transmission Functional electronic products, the common printing process of image data, but there are still its shortcomings. The reason is that the general computer equipment such as notebook computers or desktop personal computers must be used as a relay transmission medium to receive the images of electronic products After the data is transmitted to the printer via the printer driver, it can be printed, which is quite troublesome. In other words, without the assistance of a laptop or desktop computer, the data stored in the electronic product cannot be directly Take out and print. In addition, users need to wait for a long time to boot up the computer equipment, and the printer driver must be installed correctly before continuing. This complex and trivial execution process is even more common for computer users. There are many difficulties. [Summary of the Invention] In view of this, the present invention discloses a BT / USB print image converter and its method. The main purpose of the device is to provide a printing device that can directly transfer image data in an electronic product with a Bluetooth transmission function to a printing device without printing through a computer device. Another purpose is to provide a transfer medium suitable for general printing devices. Although there are now, some printing devices have a Bluetooth transmission function and can receive image information transmitted by electronic products with a Bluetooth transmission function. In general, such functions are not popular. In view of the universal serial port (USB) data transmission method has become a standard transmission specification for printing devices, the BT / USB printing image converter of the present invention can be directly inserted Connect to columns
