Auto Connection Function (Only For Ios*) - Star SM-S230I SERIES Hardware Manual

2.2.2 Auto Connection Function (only for iOS*)

When the Bluetooth connection with your iOS device(*1 is disconnected, it is required to
establish a connection by tapping the printer you want to use on the Bluetooth setting
screen. This Re Connection Specification is exactly based on the iOS specifications, and this
specification is different from other OS such as Android.
The auto connection eliminates this configuration process and automatically sends a request
for connection to the iOS terminal (Host) that the printer previously connected.
See the table below for details of Auto Connection setting.
