2.2.2 Auto Connection Function (only for iOS
*1
)
When the Bluetooth connection with your iOS device
(*2
is disconnected, it is required to establish a
connection by tapping the printer you want to use on the Bluetooth setting screen. This Re-Connection
Specification is exactly based on the iOS specifications, and this specification is different from other OS
such as Android.
The auto connection eliminates this configuration process and automatically sends a request for connec-
tion to the iOS terminal (Host) that the printer previously connected.
See the table below for details of Auto Connection setting.

How to change
the Host
Turn the printer on and tap the printer
name on the Bluetooth setting screen
of the iOS device you want to use.
Turn the "Bluetooth" function off
on the Bluetooth setting screen of
the host that the printer is currently
connected, and then tap the printer
name on the Bluetooth setting screen
of the iOS device you want to use.
Use case
A printer is shared with the multi-ple
host devices.
A printer is always used with one host
device only.
The ON/OFF switching of the auto connection can be performed by operating the printer panel or using
the Star Bluetooth utility in "StarPRNT Intelligence".
For more details on the switching method, refer to "3-3. Memory Switch Setting".
(*1: This function is enabled only when the Communication mode of the printer is set to iOS mode
[Bluetooth(iAP)]. When the Communication mode is not set to iOS mode, it is disabled and
deleted from the self-test result even if it is set to ON with the memory switch setting.
