BLUETOOTH ADDENDUM
Boca now offers Bluetooth capable printers. These printers contain a special Bluetooth I/O board as well as
new firmware to communicate with the board. The Bluetooth Interface can be enabled using the Control Panel,
the Web Menu or an FGL command. Note: this feature would normally be enabled at the factory for customers
requesting a Bluetooth printer.
CONTROL PANEL CONFIGURATION:
1. Please follow these steps to enable the Bluetooth interface on your printer.
2. Depress both the MENU and CHOICES buttons while turning on the printer. Keep both buttons
depressed unit FACTORY MENU appears in the LCD window or the display starts scrolling through
different topics.
3. Using the MENU button scroll down to the BLUETOOTH? topic and press the CHOICE button.
4. The blinking cursor indicates the current setting selected. Every time you press the CHOICE button the
setting option will change.
5. Choose the appropriate setting. Select ‘YES’ to enable the interface and ‘NO’ to disable it.

2. Now the display will show EXIT AND SAVE. Press the TEST button to save the setting entered.
WEB CONFIGURATION:
The printer can be configured across the network by typing in its IP address in the Address Bar of a
Web Browser. It will allow you to set the same configuration options available under the control panel
Factory Menu.
BLUETOOTH MODE COMMAND - <ble><bld>
This command sets the BLUETOOTH mode for the printer and is permanently stored in flash. Use <ble> to
enable the interface and <bld> to disable it.
PURPOSE:
Bluetooth allows the printer to communicate wirelessly with a host thus eliminating the need for cables. It is a
direct replacement for the standard serial port connection but is able to run much faster. The communication
between the Host and Boca I/O board is at microwave speeds. Between the board and printer, it is 450k baud
with hardware handshaking.
BLUETOOTH PROFILES:
Bluetooth is successful because it works with a wide array of devices and allows them to interact with each
other. This is accomplished by the use of profiles that describe a particular functionality that the device
supports.
Boca Printers support the following profiles:
