Datamax 7A300007 Rev. 2 manual Bluetooth & WiFi Setup Command

Bluetooth™ & WiFi Setup Command

Datamax-O’Neil printers can be placed in pass-thru mode. In pass-thru mode, data communication will only occur between the two selected UARTS. This mode of operation is used to setup the Bluetooth™ or 802.11b/g interface parameters. While in this mode, printing is disabled.

Select Pass-Thru Command Mode ESC P U n1 U n2 T t0 t1 t2 (CR)

This command sets the printer in pass-thru mode. In most serial applications the command can be sent manually or as a file. For UART selection only use ECU application.

Example 2: The Pass-thru sequence below is used to put Apex3 printer is Pass-thru mode from serial to Wireless with timeout value set to 999 seconds.

Escape Sequence:	ESC	P	U	0	U	1	T	9	9	9	CR
Hexadecimal:	1B	50	5	00	55	31	54	09	09	09	0D

Decimal:	27	80	85	85	50	84	9	9	9	13

Note: Pass-thru command is not available when Source (n1) = Destination (n2)

The Pass-thru mode terminates under three conditions:

After pressing the FEED button

After TIMEOUT duration specified in the pass-thru command has EXPIRED

After receiving three consecutive “#” characters.
