The Zebra Setup Utilities provides a quick and easy way to configure a Bluetooth wireless connection with your printer.
Double-click the
Zebra Setup Utilities
(ZSU) icon on your desktop.
Connect your computer and the printer with a USB cable.
On the first ZSU screen, highlight the printer displayed in the window and click
Configure Printer Connectivity
.
On the Connectivity type screen, select
Bluetooth
, then click
Next
.
On the Bluetooth Settings screen, check
Enabled
to enable Bluetooth functionality.
In the
Friendly Name
field, set the Bluetooth name of the device that you will use to discover the device on the network.
This is the name that the central device will apply to the printer.
If you want the device to appear when central devices are looking for new devices to pair with, set the
Discoverable
field to
On
. If not, set it to
Off
.
Set
Authentication
to
On
.
This setting does not exist in Link-OS Profile Manager, but you must set it to
On
if you want to enter a PIN in the Zebra Setup Utilities. The actual authentication setting on the printer is set by accessing
Advanced Settings
Security Mode
.
The values required to set the
Authentication PIN
will vary based on the Bluetooth version used by the central device which you use to manage your printer. If the central device uses BT v2.0 or older, enter a numeric value in this field. You will be prompted to enter this same value on the central device to verify Bluetooth pairing. For PIN pairing, also select
Security Mode 2
or
Security Mode 3
in
Advanced Settings
.
If the central device uses BT v2.1 or newer, this setting has no effect. BT v2.1 and newer versions use Secure Simple Paring (SSP) which does not require the use of a PIN.
To view Advanced Bluetooth settings, click
Advanced Settings...
.
For more information on Advanced Settings, refer to the Wired and Wireless Print Server Guide. This guide is available to download from zebra.com/manuals.
Click
Next
to continue configuring your printer.
The specific SGD commands you need to configure your printer from your central device are displayed.
On the Send Data screen, click the name of the printer that you want to send the commands to. You can also click
File
to save the commands to a file for later use.
Send the commands to the printer you chose by clicking
Finish
.
The printer updates and reboots with the programming settings you specified.
At this point, you may disconnect the USB interface from your printer.
To complete the Bluetooth pairing process, enable Bluetooth device discovery on your central device and follow the instructions provided by the central device to complete the pairing.
