Establishing communications – non-default printer
If the Bluetooth printer to be used is not the default printer then the Portaflow PT500 must first ‘search’ for the
printer’s ID address and type ‘ASL Ap1300-BT’. When retrieved, these values are stored and the new printer
becomes the ‘default’ printer.
Initially, the communication sequence will be the same as for the default printer, namely:
•
Initialising Bluetooth
•
Configuring BT printer
•
Connecting BT printer
At this point the Portaflow PT500 cannot find its default printer and will automatically initiate a search for another
ASL Ap1300-BT printer. During this time the following status messages will be displayed.
1. If another ASL Ap1300-BT printer is found then
data will be sent to the printer.
BT CONNECTION
DD-MM-YY HH:MM:SS
Searching BT printer..

Please wait...
2. If no other ASL Ap1300-BT printer is found, this
message will be displayed.

failure is more likely if the printer battery is low.
