Access modes determine how easily a Bluetooth sending device can print to a printer.
The access modes are defined by the following settings:
• Accessibility
• Security level
Accessibility mode
There are two available Accessibility modes for your printer. Follow the instructions in
your device user guide to change the Accessibility mode.
• Visible to all (public/shown to all) (default)
When the printer's Accessibility setting is set to “Visible to all”, any Bluetooth device
within range can discover and use the printer. This is the default setting for your
Bluetooth adapter.
• Not visible (private/hidden)
When the Accessibility setting is set to “Not visible”, only sending devices that have
stored the printer's Bluetooth device address can discover and use the printer.
