Set operation mode
In keeping on pressing the Feed and Power button simultaneously until after the ERROR lamp blinks 5 times, the printer comes out at the circumstance to change the printer mode. (refer to Table 2)

Only the printer which support iOS Bluetooth interface comes out at the circumstance to change the printer mode. (Bluetooth Mode or Boluetooth(iAP) Mode).

Manipulation methods:

  1. Press Feed and Power buttons simultaneously until the ERROR lamp blinks 5 times and then keep pressing two buttons for 2 Seconds.
  2. After the printer beeps twice, the Bluetooth mode is changed and it will print the result of change.
  3. The changed mode can be checked in the printout.

If you want to change the Bluetooth Mode of printer, you need to disconnect the Bluetooth function of the current paired Smartphone.

Methods:

  1. Turn off the Bluetooth function of the current paired Smartphone. (Blue LED is off.)
  2. Change the printer mode. (Additionally, we want to recommend you to rest(OFF→ON) the printer and change mode.)woosim-systems-WSP-R240-2-Inch-Mobile-Printer- \(15\)
  • POWER button: use for changing OPTION status. (Error Lamp)

[Example] The defaults of the printer are: RS-232C / 9600 bps / 8 data bit / No parity / 1 stop bit / Density low / Mark use / Sensor low / Power down 5 minute
If a user wants to modify the defaults with Bluetooth / 57600 bps / 7 data bit / Odd parity / 2 stop bit / Density high / Mark no use / Sensor medium1 / Power down no use

  • Press FEED & POWER Button during the Error Lamp flickers 5 times.
    • You will see the Power Lamp and the Error Lamp flickers once.
    • Press the POWER Button twice and the Error Lamp flickers 3 times. And then, interface mode has set to Bluetooth mode.
  •  When you press FEED button once again, Power Lamp flickers twice and the Error Lamp flickers once.
    • Press POWER Button 3 times, Error Lamp flickers 4 times. And then, baudrate has set to 57,600 bps.
  • When you press FEED button once again, Power Lamp flickers 3 times and the Error Lamp flickers twice.
    • Press POWER Button once, Error Lamp flickers once. And then Data Bit has set to 7 data bit.
  • When you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 4 times and the Error Lamp flickers once.
    • Press POWER Button once, Error Lamp flickers twice. And then the Parity bit has set to Odd parity bit.
  • When you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 5 times and Error Lamp flickers once.
    • Press POWER Button once, Error Lamp flickers twice. And then the density has set to 2 stop bit.
  • When you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 6 times and Error Lamp flickers once.
    • Press POWER Button twice, Error Lamp flickers 3 times. And then the density has set to Density high.
  • When you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 7 times and Error Lamp flickers twice.
    • Press POWER Button once, Error Lamp flickers once And then the mark has set to Mark no use.
  • When you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 8 times and Error Lamp flickers once.
    • Press POWER Button once, Error Lamp flickers twice And then the sensor has set to Sensor medium1.
  • When you press FEED Button once again, Power Lamp flickers 9 times and Error Lamp flickers five times.
    • Press POWER Button once, Error Lamp flickers once And then the power down has set to Power down no use.

If all the mode have set, press the POWER Button and the FEED Button at the same time after then release the buttons at the same time. The printer will print out the mode status which has modified. (Bluetooth / 57600 bps / 7 data bit / Odd parity / 2 stop bit / Density high / Mark no use / Sensor medium1 / Power down no use) If the status is not correct, please try it again according to the procedure.
