Printer Configuration

Infrared (IrDA) Interface Configuration

In order for the printer to receive data using the IrDA interface, configuration switch SW1 must be in the On position. Baud rate and parity settings are not required.

Bluetooth Wireless Data Communications

Configuration

The Mt2B model printers are equipped with a Bluetooth interface in addition to the Serial RS-232C and IrDA interfaces that are provided in the Mt2 models. The Bluetooth interface operates wirelessly as does the IrDA interface with the added advantage of not requiring line-of-sight alignment in order to communicate.

In order for the printer to receive data using the Bluetooth interface, configuration switches SW1, SW2, SW3, SW6, & SW7 must all be in the Off position.

To use the Bluetooth interface, the host computer must also have an interface that is compatible with the Bluetooth wireless communication standard. To have the host computer “discover” the printer and configure its interface, please refer to the host computer interface documentation.

Power Considerations

When using the Bluetooth interface, switch SW4 is available to override the Auto Power Off feature and allow the printer to be manually turned on and off. For more information, refer to “Power Settings – SW4” on page 13.

Power Settings – SW4

SW4 – Manual Power Control (Mt2B Only)

If Manual Control is enabled, this allows the operator full On/Off control of the printer when the printer is using the Bluetooth interface.

Enabling Manual Power Control allows the operator more flexibility in avoiding the Auto Power Off timeout. The user must manually turn off the printer to conserve battery power.
