Bluetooth printer options

Bluetooth device

Tap the SELECT button to select a Bluetooth printer device. The printer must already be paired to show up in the list. This is done from the Android Settings app (Settings->Bluetooth).

Alternative, type the Bluetooth address of the printer using the following format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Init string

Some printer requires that an Init string is sent before the actual print data. Some Init strings contain low ascii character. Use the following syntax to specify the hex value for a character.

    ^$nn

where nn is the hex value for the character. For example, the Esc character (0x1b) is specified with the syntax ^$1b.

Some Intermec printers requires a Query to be sent in ESC/P mode and Fingerprint (FP) mode to "wake up" the printer, for example ^$1b{QST:HW} (ESC/P mode) or $SYSHEALTH$\n (FP mode).

Character encoding

The character encoding must match the encoding used by the printer.
