As with all Bluetooth devices, the PRINTSTIK would have to be paired with the computer before printing as is described below:

1.  The PRINTSTIK must first be turned on (Refer to Page 8 for more details).  Once on, Bluetooth connectivity is immediately available.  It is ready to be paired with any Bluetooth enabled device at this point.

2.  To prepare the computer for pairing, please refer to the instruction manual that addresses the computer’s Bluetooth capability (this may be internal or an external Bluetooth enabling device).

3.  When searching for Bluetooth devices through the computer’s Bluetooth software, the PRINTSTIK icon will be found signifying that it can be paired as shown below.

The address on the PRINTSTIK icon will be in the following form:

“PrintStik 00XXXX”

Double click the mouse on the PRINTSTIK icon.

The window below should appear. Double click the Serial Port icon.

Next, in order to complete the pairing of the PRINTSTIK, the “Bluetooth security code” will be requested. An example is shown below of this kind of request.      

(This can be carried out in different ways depending on the Bluetooth device’s software being used). The code to enter in is “0000”.

Once the serial port connection is established, the PRINTSTIK is fully paired and can be chosen to print.

IMPORTANT: If the PRINTSTIK is not plugged in via USB when powered on it defaults to Bluetooth. Only If the PRINTSTIK is off and then plugged in and then powered on it will default to USB.
