Notes on Usage
Disconnection Timing
Even when data communication has been completed from the host computer's application, data may remain in
the Bluetooth module's buffer. Since data in the buffer may be lost when a connection is disconnected, use a sta-
tus check and so on to confirm that transmitted data has definitely been printed before disconnecting.
Notes on Using the Printer with an iOS Device
Print data deletion and Bluetooth disconnections occur
Situation
Depending on the specifications of the iOS device, print data sent to the printer may be deleted. When this
occurs, the Bluetooth connection between the printer and the iOS device is disconnected.
Conditions
This occurs when the printer is not ready to print, and 64 KB or more of print data is sent to the printer.
<Status in which the printer cannot print>
When the roll paper cover is open
When the paper is out
When waiting for printed labels to detach (Peeler models only)
Solution
Do not send data to the printer if the printer is not ready to print.
For developers using the SDK from Epson, see the User's Manual - Chapter 3 Programming Guide - "Printing
After Checking the Printer Status".
Since Bluetooth is disconnected when this occurs, if the auto reconnect feature is not enabled, you need to
reconnect from the Bluetooth settings screen on the iOS device.
When using the SDK from Epson, this connection process is not necessary.
