Bluetooth Default Printer Values
In general, to establish a printer as a Bluetooth Favorite Device, you must establish the printer as a Bluetooth Favorite on the terminal. The problem is that Bluetooth Favorite settings are stored in RAM memory and therefore erased during each cold boot. The Default Printer section stores these settings permanently in the DeviceConfig.exm file so the printer remains a Favorite after a hard reset.
Furthermore, you can distribute a DeviceConfig.exm file with the printer settings to multiple terminals. After DeviceConfig.exe applies the settings in the DeviceConfig.exm file (launched manually or after a hard reset), the printer is set up as a Favorite automatically, without any special configuration to each terminal.
After you have established a printer as a Bluetooth Favorite Device on an individual terminal, obtain the values for the Address and Service keys from the registry in RegEdit.
Obtaining the MAC Address
After you have set up the Bluetooth printer on the terminal, use RegEdit to find the printer values.
1.Tap Start > Power Tools > RegEdit 
.
2.Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Bluetooth > Device > [MAC Address] .
3.Copy the name of the subsection; this is the MAC address of the printer.
4.Enter this address in the Address key in the Bluetooth > DefaultPrinter section of the DeviceConfig.exm file.
