Setting Up Bluetooth Communications

The PB42 contains a Bluetooth radio that allows wireless communication with a remote device from distances up to 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) depending on the Bluetooth range capabilities of the remote device , environmental conditions, and obstructions. For the Bluetooth-enabled devices to exchange data, both devices must establish a connection. Bluetooth software is always running in the background, ready to respond to connection requests.

One device (the CK60 or 700) must request a connection with another device. The second device (the PB42) then accepts or rejects the connection. This miniature network is sometimes referred to as a “piconet” and can consist of several Bluetooth- enabled devices.

Each Bluetooth PB42 has a unique Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) loaded into its module when manufactured. You can find the BDA on the certification label located on the bottom of the printer.

The PB42 cannot initiate a Bluetooth connection. You must connect to the PB42 from a CK60 or 700 computer. Use Intermec Settings on either device to enable the Bluetooth settings on the PB42. For maximum security, you need to configure a Bluetooth passcode for the PB42. The default passcode for the PB42 is “1234.”

Setting Up Serial Communications

You can use a serial cable (P/N 075497-001) to connect the PB42 to either a PC, a 700, or a CK60. For the CK60, you also need a snap-on serial adapter (P/N 225-690-xxx).

Before you can establish a serial connection, you need to make sure that the settings on the PC or CK60 match those of the PB42.
