About Bluetooth Communication

Note

  • This menu is displayed only when the optional Bluetooth Unit is attached.

  • Device name

    Specifies the name of this machine that is displayed on a Bluetooth-compatible device.

    For example, if you set it to "XXX series-2", the machine will be displayed as "Canon XXX series-2" on the Bluetooth device. The default value is "XXX series-1" (where "XXX" is your machine's name).

  • Access refusal

    Selecting ON will disable searching of this machine by a Bluetooth-compatible device.

  • Security settings

    When you select Enable, the passkey set on the Passkey screen becomes effective. Setting the passkey prevents unwanted access from other Bluetooth devices. You can choose either of the security modes below.

    • Mode 3 (recommend)

      This mode is activated on link level enforced security.

      The passkey will be required when a Bluetooth device communicates with the machine.

      Normally select this mode.

    • Mode 2

      This mode is activated on service level enforced security.

      The passkey will be required when printing through Bluetooth communication.

      After setting the security mode, we recommend making a trial print through Bluetooth communication.

      If printing does not start, change the security mode and try again.

  • Passkey

    Changes the passkey. The passkey is a four-digit number used to prevent unwanted access from other Bluetooth devices.

    The initial value is "0000".

    After you change the passkey, you may be required to input the new passkey on a Bluetooth device, even though it had previous access to the machine. In this case, enter the new passkey on the device.
