Bluetooth™ Setup with Label Vista

continued

Bluetooth settings that are conﬁgurable by Label Vista:

• Authentication

• Discoverable Mode

• Friendly Name

• PIN

By default, a Zebra Bluetooth printer comes with Authentication

turned OFF, Discoverable turned ON, and the “Friendly Name” of

the printer set as the printer’s serial number.

The printer will always be a “slave device” in Bluetooth parlance.

It will not look for other Bluetooth devices to connect to, and will

never initiate the communication link itself.

In order to change the Bluetooth settings the printer needs to be

connected to a PC through a serial cable as detailed in the ﬁrst sec-

tion.

• To change the Bluetooth parameters in the printer, open Label Vista

from the top main menu and select Printer / Utilities / Bluetooth

settings.

• Once in the Bluetooth window (see opposite) you can change any

parameters that are not grayed out.

AUTHENTICATION

Authentication offers three choices: OFF, SET PIN and

GENERATED.

OFF: Authentication and encryption are turned off in the printer.

SETPIN: When setting a PIN value, authentication will be enabled

and the PIN will be the value set by the user in the PIN ﬁeld.

Select this option and enter your selected PIN in the box (see

picture). When authentication is enabled and a master device

attempts to communicate with the printer, the printer will require

this PIN before it accepts the connection.
