Setting up a connection between your printer and a

Bluetooth-enabled device

Note: The printer does not support printing files from your computer using a Bluetooth connec tion.

You need to set up a connection between a Bluetooth-en abled device and your printer if you are sending a pr int job

from the Bluetooth device for the first time. You will need to repeat the setup if:

•You reset the printer to its factory default settings.

•You change the Bluetooth security level or the Bluetooth pass key.

•The Bluetooth-enabled device you are using requ ires users to set up a Bluetooth connectio n on every print job.

For more information, s ee the documentation for your Bluetooth device.

•The name of the Bluetooth device you are using is automatically deleted from the Bluetooth device list.

When the Bluetooth security level is set to High, the printer saves a list of up to eight Bluetooth devices that have

previously set up a connection with the printer. When the printer detects more than eight devices, the least

recently used device is removed from the list. You need to repeat the setup of the deleted device to be able to

send a print job to the printer.

Note: You need to set up a connection for each Bluetooth device that you use to send a print job to the printer.

To set up a connection between the printer and a Bluetooth-enabled device:

1Insert a USB Blu etooth adapter in to the USB port lo cated on the fr ont of the printe r.
