In the Advanced Bluetooth Settings window, set Adaptive Frequency Hopping to “Off”. This is not part of Link-OS since AFH is now done automatically. This also holds true for the AFH Map text field.

Security Mode sets the minimum security mode at which the printer will connect. The master actually dictates the security mode and the printer will agree to connect at a higher security. Security Mode numbers are as follows:

A) If master device is BT 2.0 or older:

Security Mode 1: Unencrypted (no PIN necessary, although not harmful if set)

Security Mode 2: Profile-level encryption (requires PIN, all user data is encrypted, Bluetooth setup/management commands are not)

Security Mode 3: Link-level encryption (requires PIN, user data and Bluetooth management commands are encrypted)

Security Mode 4: N/A (printer will not connect to BT 2.0 master if this is set)

B) If master device is BT 2.1 or newer:

Secure Simple Pairing (mode 4) will always be used if both devices are BT 2.1 or newer (which is the case with Link-OS printers).

Select “Unchanged” in the Security Mode dropdown if both devices are BT 2.1 or newer. If the user wants to connect to both BT 2.0 and 2.1 devices, they should follow the BT 2.0 instructions above.

Click OK to return to the Bluetooth Settings window and then click Next.

The SGD’s that will be sent to the printer or saved to a file will be presented in the Final Stream window.

Click Next to proceed to the Send Data screen.

Click on Printer to send connectivity configuration commands to the printer. Otherwise, click on File to save the commands on your computer.

Click Finish and the printer will update and reboot.

Once the printer reboots, SGD’s that are not available in the Final Stream window (like the following two examples) can be added to the settings list by following the steps in the Enabling/Disabling Power Save Mode section below.

! U1 setvar “bluetooth.bonding” “on”/”off” (default to “On”). This enables or disables Bluetooth bonding which allows the printer to cache the connection link key so users do not have to go through the pairing process (e.g. numeric comparison for BT 2.1) every time a connection is estab- lished. Users will generally want to leave this on.

! U1 do “bluetooth.clear _ bonding _ cache” ““

This clears the Bluetooth bonding cache, equivalent to unpairing/”forget this device” on the master.

Enabling/Disabling Power Save Mode

This parameter refers to the power save modes which affect power consumption of the network radio card in the printer. Power Save in the 802.11n radio can ei- ther be set to “on” or “off” with a default value of “on”.

Checking Current Power Save Mode

Open Zebra Setup Utilities and click on the Open Communica- tion with Printer button (where shown).
