What is the Auto Reconnect Feature?

The auto reconnect feature allows the printer to automatically restore a connection if the Bluetooth connection
to the iOS device is lost.
When this feature is enabled, in the following situations the printer automatically reconnects to the iOS device
to which it was last connected.
 When the printer is turned on
 When the signal is dropped and then restored
When this feature is disabled, you need to reconnect from the Bluetooth settings screen on the iOS device every
time.

[Reconnection sequence]
1. The printer tries to connect to the iOS device to which it was
last connected.
2. When step 1 fails, the printer waits for connections from other
iOS devices.
3. If connection is not established in step 2 after a fixed time has
passed, the printer tries again to connect to the iOS device to
which it last connected. Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until a con-
nection is established.
