Setting Up Bluetooth Communications - Intermec PB50 User Manual

Setting Up Bluetooth Communications

PB50 Portable Label Printer User's Guide
The PB50 can contain a Bluetooth radio that allows wireless
communications with a remote device from distances up to 100
meters (approximately 328 feet) depending on the Bluetooth
range capabilities of the remote device, environmental
conditions, and obstructions. For the Bluetooth-enabled devices
to exchange data, both devices must establish a connection.
Bluetooth software is always running in the background.
The PB50 cannot initiate a Bluetooth connection. One of the
devices, such as a CK31, CK61, 700 series, CN2B, or CN3
mobile computer, must request a connection with the printer.
The PB50 then accepts or rejects the connection. Use Intermec
Settings on the mobile computer to enable the Bluetooth settings
on the PB50.
The PB50 can also connect to Bluetooth scanners such as the
SF51 and the SR61. You can create the bar code labels you need
to connect the printer to a Bluetooth scanner using EasySet
software. If you are going to create the bar code labels using
EasySet, you will need to know the Bluetooth Device Address
and the PIN of the PB50. You can download a free version of
EasySet from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
Each PB50 equipped with a Bluetooth radio has a unique
Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) loaded into its module when
manufactured. You can find the BDA on the certification label
located on the bottom of the printer.
