The Bluetooth adapter connects to an internal serial port of the 6820
Printer, providing serial print data over a transparent Bluetooth link, run-
ning a Serial Port Profile (SPP).
Once your 6820 Printer is upgraded to Bluetooth with this adapter, the
6820 Printer no longer supports NPCP (Norand
tions Protocol), and instead prints using the Epson DTR mode. Printing is
primarily accomplished over a Bluetooth link using the SPP protocol with
a 700 Series or CK60 Computer. If the relevant printer configuration al-
lows it, a 700 Series or CK60 Computer in a terminal holder charges nor-
mally.
The Bluetooth adapter allows for four states or modes to be available. Each
state is dependent upon either the pin states on the terminal holder con-
nector or the programming connector on the adapter described later.

S State 1 — In addition to allowing normal Bluetooth printing, this state
also allows for a 700 Series or CK60 Handheld Computer in the termi-
nal holder to perform a Bluetooth self-test.
S State 2 is a Transparent Pass Through mode available for all 700 Series
and CK60 Handheld Computers. During this mode, the Bluetooth
module is shut down and does not communicate.
S State 3 (Bluetooth reconfiguring using a 700 Series or CK60 Handheld
Computer). This state is unavailable when a 700 Monochrome Com-
puter is used, since the A/B pin is unavailable.
S State 4 allows for programming the Bluetooth module via its SPI pins.
This state is also used for manufacturing tests. To be in this state, the
700 Series or CK60 Handheld Computer must not have an open termi-
nal holder COM port and the specially designed programming adapter
must be engaged.
