Wireless Communications with Bluetooth

Wireless Communications with Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a worldwide standard for the exchange of data between two devices via radio frequencies. This form of point-to-point communication does not require access points or other infrastructure. Bluetooth radios are relatively low powered to help prevent interference with other devices running at similar radio frequencies. This limits the range of a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters (32 feet). The default for the ZQ630 Plus is Class 2, but the range can be set to Class 1 via a SGD (
bluetooth.power_class
) to increase power. Both the printer and the device it communicates with must follow the Bluetooth standard.
For printers purchased in the EMEA region after August 1, 2025, you must configure a Protected Mode password and front panel password for the printer before you can perform wired or wireless setup. For additional information, go to zebra.com/asr or refer to the Zebra Link-OS PrintSecure Printer Administration Guide.
For other printers with Protected Mode enabled, depending on the configuration, you may need to enter the Protected Mode password to change certain settings on the printer. For more information, refer to the Zebra Link-OS PrintSecure Printer Administration Guide.
