6820 Series 80-Column Printer User Manual
Appendix B — Bluetooth Configuration Commands and Specifications
The Bluetooth adapter connects to an internal serial port of the 6820,
providing serial print data over a transparent Bluetooth link, running
a Serial Port Profile (SPP).
Printing is primarily accomplished over a Bluetooth link using the
SPP protocol with an Intermec mobile computer. If the relevant
printer configuration allows it, a mobile computer in a terminal
holder charges normally.
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 connector or the programming connector on the adapter.
