The Zebra Setup Utilities provides a quick and easy way to configure a Bluetooth wireless connection with the printer.
Double-click the
Zebra Setup Utilities
icon on your desktop.
Connect a USB cable from your printer to the computer.
On the first ZSU screen, highlight the printer displayed in the window and click the
Configure Printer Connectivity
where shown.
Select
Bluetooth
on the
Connectivity Type
screen and click
Next
.
On the
Bluetooth Settings
screen, check
Enabled
to enable Bluetooth functionality.
In the
Friendly Name
text field, set the Bluetooth name of the device. This name appears during device discovery and the central device will label the printer with this name.
Set
Discoverable
to On or Off to set whether the device will appear when central devices are looking for new devices to pair with.
Set
Authentication
to On.
This setting does not exist in Link-OS, but you need to turn it on if you want to enter a PIN in ZSU. The actual authentication setting on the printer is set in the
Security Mode
on the
Advanced Settings
menu.
The values set in the
Authentication
PIN field will vary depending on the Bluetooth version of the central device. If the central uses BT v2.0 or older, enter a numeric value in this field. You are prompted to enter this same value on the central device to verify the pairing.
Security Mode
2 or 3 in
Advanced Settings
should also be selected for PIN paring. In Advanced Settings, select Security Mode 2 or 3 for PIN paring.
If the central device uses BT v2.1 or newer, this setting has no effect. BT v2.1 and newer uses Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) which does not require the use of a PIN.
Clicking the
Advanced Settings
button will display the
Advanced Bluetooth Settings
window. For more information on
Advanced Settings
, refer to the Wired and Wireless Print Server Guide.
Click
Next
to continue configuring the printer.
The SGD commands to properly configure the printer are displayed. Click
Next
to continue to the
Send Data
screen.
On the
Send Data
screen, click the
Printer
icon that you want to send the commands to, or click the
File
button to save the commands to a file for reuse later.
To send the commands to the printer, click the
Finish
button. The printer will update and then reboot. You may disconnect the USB interface from the printer now.
To complete the Bluetooth pairing process, enable Bluetooth device discovery on your central device and follow the directions provided with the master device.
