Wireless Printing Parameters - Intermec 6804DM Technical Reference Manual

781T Printer using Wireless Printing
The printer toggles between Bluetooth On/IrDA Off and
Bluetooth Off/IrDA On each time you perform a self--test on
the printer.
The current mode of the printer is indicated on the self-test
ticket. Look under the RF Personal Network section to de-
termine if Bluetooth Power is On or Off, and look under the
Infrared Config section to determine if Infrared mode is On
or Off. Keep in mind, that only one wireless technology is
active at a time. Also, remember to self-test the printer
back int the mode if was in if you self-test to look at the
battery voltage or similar attribute.
Bluetooth Wireless
Bluetooth operation on the printer side of things is rather
simple. Self-test the printer into Bluetooth mode and forget
about it. The printer handles everything for you. Do note
that if you are in Bluetooth mode and you hook up a serial
cable, the printer drops out of Bluetooth mode and proceeds
to take input from the serial cable.

Wireless Printing Parameters

The 781T contains some new parameters relevant to Blue-
tooth usage. Most of these parameters are embedded in the
printer and are only visible when queried by a Bluetooth
enabled 700 mobile computer. If the parameters docu-
mented here are unfamiliar to you, refer to the Bluetooth
Terminology.

Device Address--Similar to a MAC address on an
Ethernet card, this is a globally unique identifier for
each Bluetooth radio. The device address will normal-
ly be seen written in the form AA.BB.CC.DD.00.11 or
AA:BB:CC:DD:00:11.
Device Name--A UTF--8 encoded string that can con-
tain 248 bytes. The device name is sometimes referred
to as the "friendly" name because it usually contains
human readable names such as "Ryan's 781T Printer".
