3.4.1. Direct IR
The S1500T printer supports direct IR printing.
To select Direct IR mode set DIP switches 1 and 7 in the ON position and 2,3,4,5,6
and 8 to OFF. This sets the communication speed at 9600bps.
This mode is intended for host devices that only support the physical layer of the IrDA
communication.
3.4 .2 Infrared Communication (Variable Baud Rate IrDA Mode)
Dip Switch #1 and #5 in the <ON> position selects Variable Baud Rate IrDA mode.
In Variable IrDA mode, the communication Baud Rate can be negotiated up to 38.4K.
Graphic print speed is tripled in variable IrDA mode.
3.5 Bluetooth Communication (Option)
Dip Switch #5 has to be <ON>. However, if you want to make sure that the printer
stays <ON> please turn Dip Switch #4 <ON>. This will make the printer go into low
power mode if not used and only pressing the <ON/OFF> button will turn it <OFF>.
On the other hand, if you turn Dip Switch #8 <ON> it will have the same effect as
turning Dip Switch #4 <ON> but in order to turn the printer <OFF> you have to take
the battery out – otherwise it will go into low power mode but never shut down.
Note: Adjust settings to match those of the Bluetooth module in your computing device
The printer can be powered up by pressing the power <ON/OFF> switch
When powered up in Bluetooth mode, the printer will not enter a “sleep” mode and
will remain active waiting for the wireless print command. (If you want the printer to
enter sleep mode please follow the instructions above.)
Pressing the power <On/Off> switch again will turn the printer <OFF>.
Note: In Bluetooth mode it is necessary for the mobile computing device you are using to
discover the printer and the printer needs to be set as a favorite. Refer to instructions
provided by the systems integrator.
Note: Systems Integrators: Refer to the Bluetooth manual provided with your mobile
computer and the Bluetooth section of the Developer’s Manual available for this printer.
