`ABSTRACT
`A wireless printer for rendering digital content received from
`wireless information apparatus is herein disclosed and
`enabled. The wireless printer includes a wireless communi
`cation unit compatible with at least part of a protocol within
`IEEE 802.11 or Bluetooth. The wireless printer may access
`and connect to a local area wireless network for wireless
`connection, or may communicate directly with the wireless
`information apparatus via direct wireless communication.
`The wireless printer may wirelessly broadcast an indication
`of the wireless printer to the wireless information apparatus
`for selection and service. The wireless printer may include an
`output controller for decoding output data; an image proces
`sor for image processing the output data; a marking engine for
`printing an image onto a Substrate; and may further include an
`operating system that enables installation of additional appli
`cations for expanding or updating the functionalities of the
`wireless printer.
