The printer provide two ways to connect to a network:
• Bluetooth radio communications
• 802.11 b/g radio communications
The printer 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 printer cannot initiate a Bluetooth connection. One of the
devices must request a connection with the printer. The printer then
accepts or rejects the connection. Use Intermec Settings on the mobile
computer to enable the Bluetooth settings on the printer.
The printer 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. You can
download a free version of EasySet from the Intermec website at
www.intermec.com.
