How do I connect the printer and my mobile device via Bluetooth®?

Use the following procedure to pair the printer with your mobile device:

  1. Confirm that the power of the printer is on and the Bluetooth indicator ( Bluetooth ) (PJ-862/PJ-863) or the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi indicator ( Bluetooth/Wi-Fi ) (PJ-883) is lit in blue.  If not, press and hold the Power button ( Power ) to turn the printer on, and then press and hold the Bluetooth button ( Bluetooth ) (PJ-862/PJ-863) or the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi button ( Bluetooth/Wi-Fi ) (PJ-883).
  2. Use your mobile device to display the list of nearby Bluetooth accessories that your device can pair with.

    For Apple devices (iPad, iPhone)
    From the home screen of your Apple device, tap [Settings] - [Bluetooth].
     
    For Android™ devices
    1. From the home screen of your Android™ device, tap Apps button - [Settings] - [Bluetooth].
    2. Slide the toggle button to the [ON] position.
  3. Select your printer’s model name and, if required, enter the passkey (PIN code).
  • You can change the printer's network settings by connecting the printer to a computer and using the Printer Setting Tool.
  • The printer's passkey is the last four digits of its serial number by default.  You can find the serial number label on the back of the printer or in the battery cavity.
  • The Bluetooth connection settings are saved even after the printer is turned off.
  • If you are using an iPad / iPad Air / iPad mini or iPhone, Bluetooth may disconnect if the mobile device is separated from the connected printer.
    Move close to the printer and select [Bluetooth] from the settings of your iPad / iPad Air / iPad mini or iPhone, tap the device you want to connect to from the list of Bluetooth devices, and then connect it again.
