26 PB42 Portable Receipt Printer User’s Guide
Setting Up Bluetooth Communications
The PB42 contains a Bluetooth radio that allows wireless
communication with a remote device from distances up to 100
meters (approximately 328 feet) depending on the Bluetooth
range capabilities of the remote device , environmental
conditions, and obstructions. For the Bluetooth-enabled devices
to exchange data, both devices must establish a connection.
Bluetooth software is always running in the background, ready
to respond to connection requests.
One device (the CK60 or 700) must request a connection with
another device. The second device (the PB42) then accepts or
rejects the connection. This miniature network is sometimes
referred to as a “piconet” and can consist of several Bluetooth-
enabled devices.
Each Bluetooth PB42 has a unique Bluetooth Device Address
(BDA) loaded into its module when manufactured. You can find
the BDA on the certification label located on the bottom of the
printer.
The PB42 cannot initiate a Bluetooth connection. You must
connect to the PB42 from a CK60 or 700 computer. Use
Intermec Settings on either device to enable the Bluetooth
settings on the PB42. For maximum security, you need to
configure a Bluetooth passcode for the PB42. The default
passcode for the PB42 is “1234.”
To set up Bluetooth communications
• Follow the procedure to discover and connect to Bluetooth
devices in your CK60 or 700 computer user’s manual.
Setting Up Serial Communications
You can use a serial cable (P/N 075497-001) to connect the
PB42 to either a PC, a 700, or a CK60. For the CK60, you also
need a snap-on serial adapter (P/N 225-690-xxx).
Before you can establish a serial connection, you need to make
sure that the settings on the PC or CK60 match those of the
PB42.
