Possible Values: Printer*, Personal Area Network
This feature selects the role of the printer’s interface in the Bluetooth network.
In Printer mode, the printer behaves as a regular Bluetooth device.
In Personal Area Network mode, the printer behaves similar to a Wi-Fi access point.
The Power LED will flash off every two seconds while in this mode.
After pairing with the printer, the host Bluetooth icon will appear different, indicating that an access point
is present.
Some hosts require an extra connect step after pairing. After connecting, the printer will issue an
IP address to the host and the host can communicate to the printer as if it were a Wi-Fi printer. The
printer’s address to the host is always
169.254.200.1.
In the host device’s browser (if equipped) this address may be entered in the address bar to access the
printer web page.
Personal Area Network mode can also be activated outside of the printer web page.
To enter Personal Area Network mode, press and hold the Power and Paper Feed buttons until the
Power and Alert LEDs light. Release both buttons, and the printer will restart in Personal Area Network
mode. To exit Personal Area Network mode, press and hold the Power and Paper Feed buttons until
the Power and Alert LEDs light. Release both buttons, and the printer will restart in normal Bluetooth
mode.
