
If the host computer and the printer are not connected on a continuous basis but rather
connected every time the printer starts printing, some time may be needed for the printer
to actually start printing after the host computer commands printing. This pause is the
time required for processing the connection between the host computer and the printer,
and it depends on the conditions of the environment where used.

If data transfer from an application of the host computer has already been completed,
data might remain in the Bluetooth module internal buffer. As such data remaining in the
buffer might be lost when the connection is cut off, use the status or similar functions to
check that transmitted data has been completely printed before cutting off the wireless
connection.
