Method
(1): Disconnecting a Bluetooth connection between the host and the printer after the completion
of a print job is confirmed.
Basically, use the automatic status transmission function (this function is enabled as the factory default.)
to confirm the statuses sent from the printer after printing or storing data.
This method enables confirming whether a print job is properly performed on the application. Also, an
error, such as a paper end or a paper jam, on the printer can be detected by the application.
