Bluetooth Networking Overview

In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth enabled devic-

es must establish a connection. Bluetooth software is always

running in the background, ready to respond to connection re-

quests. One device (known as the master or the client) must

request a connection with another. The second device (the

slave or the server) then accepts or rejects the connection. A

Bluetooth enabled QL 320 will normally act as a slave, but in

theory any Bluetooth device can be either a master or a slave.

This miniature network is sometimes referred to as a “picon-

et” and can consist of several Bluetooth enabled devices.

Each Bluetooth enabled Cameo printer has a unique

Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) loaded into its radio module

when manufactured. For the most part, communications us-

ing the Bluetooth protocol are initiated and processed without

any operator intervention, much like the IrDA system de-

scribed previously.

WLAN Overview

Cameo printers, when equipped with the 802.11b WLAN ra-

dio option, allow wireless communication as a node within a

local area network (LAN). This option allows communication

from any point within the LAN’s perimeter. Methods of estab-

lishing communications to the printer will vary with each LAN

application.

More detailed information on establishing WLAN commu-

nications can be found in either the ”CPCL Programmers

Manual” or the “Quick Start Guide for Mobile Wireless

Printers” both available on-line at www.zebra.com.

More information and LAN conﬁguration utilities may also

be found in Zebra’s Label Vista™ program (version 2.8 and lat-

er). Label Vista may be downloaded from the Zebra Web site.
