Basics of wireless printing via Bluetooth
With Bluetooth technology for wireless communication, devices such as printers and
computers can communicate with one another via radio waves in the 2.400 GHz band over
distances of up to 100 m.
For Bluetooth compatibility, the BLUEMARK LED has an integrated Bluetooth wireless
module.
Unlike infrared communication, Bluetooth technology does not require a direct line of sight
between the transmitter and receiver.
Only one computer The printer can only establish a wireless Bluetooth connection with one computer. The
printer ignores all other computers that attempt to establish a connection. These computers
must wait until the original connection has been terminated. Only then can they establish a
new connection.
Bluetooth detection Detection refers to the process where a Bluetooth-compatible device detects other
Bluetooth-compatible devices within range.
If a device has detected the printer, it displays the Bluetooth device name of the printer. For
the BLUEMARK LED this is BLUEMARK_xxxx. xxxx represents an internal code, which
differentiates between several BLUEMARK LED printers. The Bluetooth device name can
be read via the menu (see page 2-15).
The detection method varies according to the type of Bluetooth software used.
