Bluetooth Interface
(1) When the USB cable is connected to the printer, disconnect it from the printer.
(2) Turn on the printer and pair it with the host device.
In addition, by using the NFC (Near Field Communication Technology) tag built in the printer,
automatic pairing between an NFC-enabled Android device and a printer is possible.
NOTE
◆
Application for inter-device communication needs to be added to the Android device
separately.
(3) In the factory shipment state, the printer enters pairing mode for about 60 seconds by pushing the
POWER Switch for 7 seconds or more with the printer off state. During the pairing mode, the
WIRELESS LED blinks twice per second. During this time, pair the printer with the host device.
Pairing is conducted by SSP (Simple Secure Pairing), however, PIN code is used when the host
device does not support SSP. The PIN code is "0000" at the shipping.
(4) Conduct Bluetooth connection with the host device.
After the Bluetooth connection is established, the WIRELESS LED lights up.
(5) Check the communication status on the host device.
(6) Send data from the host device, and verify that the data is printed correctly.
