systems with on-board Bluetooth share the Bluetooth radio with Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi maybe
disabled, which may disable Bluetooth also.
Preparing the Printer for Bluetooth Printing
• The printer must have the factory option Bluetooth installed. The printer will include a
LCD display. The printer’s main menu screen will display the word Bluetooth.
• The printer should have media loaded to print configuration status labels (and Windows
test print labels later).
• Install the printer using the Zebra Setup Utility (ZSU) using the USB interface cable
(or a standard serial port cable). Verify printing using the printer properties or the ZSU to
print a printer configuration status label.
• With the ZSU installed and open, select your printer. The buttons below the installed
Zebra
