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.
