Infrared Communication Mode (IrDA)
• DIP switch 1 and 2 (Disable UART 0) must be in the on position.
• The printer can be powered up by pressing the power on/off switch.
• If no IrDA connection is made, the printer will automatically power down to a lower
power level to conserve battery life. It will remain in a “sleep” mode until an IrDA
connection is made, at which time the printer will “wake up” and print the requested
data.
Direct IR
• If DIP switch 1, 2 and 6 are on, the baud rate of the IrDA communication is set
at 9600 bps.
Infrared Communication (Variable Baud Rate IrDA Mode)
• If you wish to default to variable IrDA, (9600 - 38,400) then you should turn DIP
switch 6 off.
• Pressing the power button again will turn the printer off.
Bluetooth Communication (Option)
• DIP switch 1 must be in the off position.
• DIP switch 3 and 2 must be in the on position.
• Adjust settings to match the Bluetooth module in your computing
device.
• The printer can be powered up by pressing the power on/off button.
• Pressing the power on/off button again will turn the printer off.
NOTE:
Since UART 1 (RS232) and UART 2 (IrDA/BT) share the same DIP switches, the same baud rate, parity
and stop bits settings apply both for RS232 and Bluetooth (Refer to Developer’s Manual
for further details).
NOTE:
It is necessary for the mobile computing device you are using to discover the printer. Refer to the Bluetooth
manual provided with your mobile computer and the Bluetooth section of the Developer’s Manual.
Magnetic Stripe Reader (Option)
• The Magnetic Stripe Reader is a factory-installed option. This option requires special
application software to read and process cards with a magnetic stripe, such as credit
cards or a driver’s licenses.
• Quickly swipe the card through the reader either left to right, or right to left. The
magnetic stripe must be facing toward the paper supply door as indicated below,
while it is passed through the reader.
