Bluetooth Troubleshooting
♦To connect the printer with a Bluetooth device, the devices must be within 328 feet (100 meters) of one
another. The connection can be lost if the distance between devices exceeds 328 feet (100 meters).
♦If cement walls or other obstacles are present, the connection distance is reduced.
♦Transmission can be interrupted if a device (such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN, etc.) that uses the
same frequency is in the area. Separate the printer and Bluetooth-enabled device from such interrupting
devices by at least 16 feet (5 meters).
