Windows Desktop Computers
Print Drivers

“Printers and Faxes” heading of your Windows “Devices and Printers” screen.
II.
Bluetooth – General
a) Turn on printer. Make sure Bluetooth on your host device is turned ON.
b) Your host Bluetooth manager may automatically scan for new devices, or you may need to
tell it to scan. The discover name of the DP-330 printer will be “DP-330-XXXxxxxx”, where
XXXxxxxx = the Printer Serial Number.
c) For Pairing, the default passkey is “0000”.
Note:
Bluetooth host devices pair after discovery, but only
connect
to Bluetooth printers
when the host application has asked it to print.

”. The icon may show that it is still configuring.
