3-8-3. Auto Connection Function (iOS only)
Each time the wireless connection is disconnected while communicating with upper-level iOS devices including iPad
over Bluetooth, it is necessary to move back to the Bluetooth setting screen in the upper-level iOS device and tap the
desired printer name again to build a connection. This is an iOS specification.
In order to save this labor, this printer is equipped with the Auto Connection function that automatically requests a
connection from an upper-level iOS device that was connected to the printer last time.
You can also check the current ON/OFF setting by performing self-printing.
Caution: If "Auto Connection function" is set to ON when using devices other than iOS, a Bluetooth communi-
cation with the printer may fail. To use devices other than iOS, such as the Android/Windows devices,
make sure you turn off the "Auto Connection" function before using the printer.
For information on how to set up this function, see "3-8-4. Setting up Auto Connection".

ter device.
Changing the connected master
device
Disconnect the Bluetooth connec-
tion in such a way as to turn OFF

vice automatically connected.

master device.
