Chapter 2 Setup Bluetooth Interface (For Bluetooth model) Pair the printer with your device using the Bluetooth function of the device or using other methods. Pairing the printer is also possible by using EPSON TM Bluetooth Connector (Windows) or Epson TM Utility. • If the host computer and the printer are not connected on a continuous basis but rather connected every time the printer starts printing, some time may be needed for the printer to actually start printing after the host computer commands printing. This pause is the time required for processing the connection between the host computer and the printer, and it depends on the conditions of the environment where used.
• If data transfer from an application of the host computer has already been completed, data might remain in the Bluetooth module internal buffer. As such data remaining in the buffer might be lost when the connection is cut off, use the status or similar functions to check that transmitted data has been completely printed before cutting off the wireless connection. • For detailed information about EPSON TM Bluetooth Connector, see the TM Bluetooth Connector User’s Manual. • The device name and passkey are editable with the TM-L100 Utility or Epson TM Utility. • The Bluetooth security level has been set to "Middle" by default.
For information on the Bluetooth security settings, see "Interface Setup Mode (Interface Setup)" on page 99 . • This printer automatically restores the connection when the Bluetooth connection with the iOS device is lost (Auto Re-Connect iOS function). For more details, see "Auto re-connect to iOS device (Bluetooth model)" on page 99 . • The pairing information of up to 8 devices can be registered. (Multi-pairing is supported.)
