Printer Operator's Manual

Printer Configuration

ETX/ACK Handshaking

Possible Values: Off*, On

This feature enables or disables the ETX/ACK character handshaking method used to control data flow from the

host system to the printer. When enabled, an ACK character will be sent by the printer after an ETX character

has been received and processed out of the input buffer. ETX characters used for handshaking cannot be part of

an escape sequence.

RTS/CTS Handshaking

Possible Values: Off, On*

This feature enables or disables the RTS/CTS hardware handshaking method used to control data flow from the

host system to the printer. When enabled, the printer will activate the RTS signal whenever the printer’s input

buffer becomes nearly empty or when the printer’s control panel Setup Menus are active. The RTS signal will

be deasserted whenever the printer’s input buffer becomes nearly empty.

Likewise, the printer will not send data to the host system if the host has asserted the CTS signal.

Bluetooth Interface

The following Bluetooth Interface menu features are only available and/or only take affect when the Bluetooth

Interface is currently selected as the active interface. For information on how to select the active interface,

please refer to

Control Panel Setup on page 25.

Note: Factory default values are indicated by an asterisk (*).

Emulation

Possible Values: Printek*, O’Neil, ZPL-II, Mt3, CPCL

This feature sets the family of printer commands that may be used by a host application program to control the

various capabilities of the printer. The printer will only respond to commands valid for the currently selected

emulation. For more information, please refer to the MLP Series & PrintAbout Programmer’s Manual.

Pairing Mode

Possible Values: Paired*, Unpaired

This feature allows Bluetooth pairing to occur between the printer and the connecting device whenever Security

is required by either device. Pairing requires that the PIN on the printer and the connecting device exactly

match each other.

Role Policy

Possible Values: Defer*, Master

This feature selects the role of the printer’s interface in the Bluetooth network.

If the device attempting to communicate with the printer is having trouble discovering the printer, setting the

value to Master may correct the problem.
