GETTING TO KNOW YOUR X-MIRO COMBO BLUETOOTH PRINTER ADAPTER
X-Micro Combo Bluetooth Printer Adapter supports two interfaces
which can be used to connect with your printer.
1). IEEE-1284 - It is a 36-pin male connector on the front. Connect it to
your printer. If your printer hides its female connector inside its
case, then you have to open it.
2). USB - It is a USB type A connector. You need to connect one end of
the USB cable to X-Micro Combo Bluetooth Printer Adapter, then
connect another end to the printer.
Note : If your printer supports both interfaces, we recommend you to
choose just one to connect with X-Micro Combo Bluetooth Printer
Adapter. If you connect X-Micro Combo Bluetooth Printer Adapter to
both of them, 1284 interface will be the functioning one.
3). Apply power to X-Micro Combo Bluetooth Printer Adapter by using the
7.5V DC power adapter accompanied, it is also the only way to RESET
X-Micro Combo Bluetooth Printer Adapter.
4). Mode button is used by the advanced user to configure the printer
adapter for some special purposes, it is normally left unused. You also
can refer to the Utility Manual in CD for how to use it.
