2.2.2 Auto Connection Function (only for iOS*)
When the Bluetooth connection with your iOS device(*1 is disconnected, it is required to establish a
connection by tapping the printer you want to use on the Bluetooth setting screen. This Re Connection
Specication is exactly based on the iOS specications, and this specication is dierent from other OS
such as Android.
The auto connection eliminates this conguration process and automatically sends a request for
connection to the iOS terminal (Host) that the printer previously connected.
See the table below for details of Auto Connection setting.
