Bluetooth Connection Manual
1. Manual Information
This Bluetooth Connection Manual provides information on the connection of Bluetooth-
enabled iOS or Android Host devices with the printer.
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. Precaitions
1) To connect the printer with another Host device via Bluetooth, the Host devices
must be within 100m of one another. The connection is broken if the distance between
devices exceeds 100m.
2) The maximum separating distance may be shortened if transmission obstacles, such
as cement walls, are present.
3) If a device (such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN, etc.) that uses the same
frequency is present, transmission may be interrupted. Separate the printer and
Bluetooth-enabled device from such interrupting devices by a distance of at least 5m.
