Chapter 2 Setup Bluetooth Interface Use a tool, such as a built-in Bluetooth connection tool of your device to establish the connection with the printer. If your device is a Windows computer, use EPSON TM Bluetooth ® Connector, which is a utility to easily pair a terminal and the printer. If the host computer and the printer are not connected on a continuous basis but rather con- nected every time the printer starts printing, some time may be needed for the printer to actu- ally 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. The device name and passkey are initially set as follows: Device name:
TM-P80_xxxxxx* *xxxxxx refers to the last 6 digits of the serial number labeled on the back of your printer. Passkey: 0000 For detailed information about EPSON TM Bluetooth ® Connector, see the TM Bluetooth ® Con- nector User’s Manual. The device name and passkey are editable with the TM-P80 Utility. 2 Setting up from a Smart Device Necessary Items Prepare the following items.
