1. Manual Information
This Bluetooth Connection Manual provides information on the connection of Bluetooth-
enabled iOS devices with the printer (SPP-R200III).
We at BIXOLON maintain ongoing efforts to enhance and upgrade the functions and
quality of all our products. In following, product specifications and/or user manual content
may be changed without prior notice.
2. Precautions
2-1 To connect the printer with another device via Bluetooth, the devices must be within
10m of one another. The connection is broken if the distance between devices
exceeds 10m.
2-2 The maximum separating distance may be shortened if transmission obstacles, such
as cement walls, are present.
2-3 If a device (such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN, etc.) that uses the same frequen
cy is present, transmission may be interrupted. Separate the printer and Bluetooth-
enabled device from such interrupting devices by a distance of at least 5m.
3. iOS MFi mode change
You can switch over to MFi mode which allows you to have Bluetooth connection with iOS
devices. (Note: Make sure that MFi mode must be on.)

5. Troubleshooting
5-1 Please follow the guide below if Bluetooth is not searched on iOS device.
1) Perform self test to check the printer is set as iOS mode.
2) Check whether printer is connected to other iOS device. Printer is not able to be
found on your iOS device if it is connected to other iOS device. If STATUS LED
blinks when you press Feed button, it means that printer is connected to other iOS
device.
You need to disconnect the connection to other iOS device, or turn on the printer
again while the paper cover is opened.
* Printer is automatically connected to last iOS device which was connected in iOS
mode. But it does not make a connection to any device, if user turns it on while the
paper cover of it is opened.
5-2 Refer to this, if you see the pop-up message as below.
1) “Failed to connect to SPP-R200III”.
2) The “Failed to connect”message might appear on a screen, since NFCAuto pairing
merely supports Bluetooth paring and does not allow device to device
communication. However, it operates properly.
