COMMUNICATING TO THE PRINTER
The printer must establish communications with a host
terminal which sends the data to be printed. Communications occur in three basic ways:
•By a cable between the printer and its host terminal
• Infrared (usually by means of the industry standard
IrDA protocol)
•Using Bluetooth™ radio frequency protocol

Cable Communications
All Encore 2 printers can communicate by cable; the
specific cable supplied with your printer will vary with the
host terminal. The 8- pin circular connector on your
communications cable plugs into the serial communications port on the bottom of the Encore 2 . It is keyed to
assure correct alignment; do not try to force it if it does
not plug in. The other end of the cable must be plugged
into the host terminal. Refer to pages A-1 through A-3 for
more information on the various communications cables
offered for the Encore 2 .
Communication between the terminal and the printer is
controlled by the applications running on the terminal and
the printer.
O-21
Continued on next page
UMAN-EN2+
IR Communications
Printers equipped for infrared (IR) communications are
identified by a small “IR” logo under the unit’s IR window.
IR allows wireless communications between the printer
and the host terminal. IR units can also communicate
with a cable as detailed above, however, IR functions are
disabled when the cable is plugged in. Encore 2 units
with the IR option can be configured to conform to the
standard IrDA communications protocol
Linking a Printer to an IrDA Host
IrDA compliant terminals will automatically initiate
communications to the printer. First insure that there is a
direct line of sight between the printer and the terminal
that will be sending data. The IR window on the front of
the Encore 2 must face the corresponding window on
the terminal to properly send and receive signals. An
IrDA compliant terminal will seek out any linkable devices
and establish communications between them, even
turning the printer on if necessary.
UMAN-EN2+
O-22
Bluetooth™ Networking Overview
“Bluetooth” is a worldwide standard for the exchange of
data between two devices via radio frequencies. Bluetooth
radios are relatively low powered to help prevent interference with other devices, limiting the range of a Bluetooth
device to about 10 meters (about 32 feet).
Bluetooth compliant printers equipped are identified by
a small “Bluetooth” logo under the unit’s IR window.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of this internal wireless radio
is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, this Bluetooth radio must be used in such
a manner that the antenna is 2.5 cm or further from the
human body.
The radio and antenna are mounted internally in this
printer in such a way that, when the printer is used in a
standard configuration (belt clip, soft case, shoulder
strap), the 2.5 cm distance from the users body will be
met. Do not use the printer in an unauthorized manner.
The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines
found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations. The level of energy emitted is far less than
the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones.
Bluetooth software runs in the background in order to
respond to connection requests, which one device (known
as the
second device (the
master
or the
client)
slave
must request from another. The
or the
server
) then accepts or
rejects the connection. A Bluetooth enabled Encore will
always act as a slave device. The miniature network created by this connection is sometimes referred to as a
“piconet” and can consist of several Bluetooth enabled
devices.
Each Encore with the Bluetooth option has a unique
Bluetooth Device Address (BDA) loaded into its radio module when manufactured.
Continued on next page
O-23
UMAN-EN2+
A Typical Bluetooth Connection Sequence
In this simplified sequence “Joe’s Terminal” is a Bluetooth
ready hand held terminal running an application that needs
access to a printer.
1. Joe’s Terminal performs a search of its “piconet” (a
Device Inquiry) and determines that there are four Bluetooth
devices in the vicinity.
2. Joe’s Terminal queries each of the four devices to
determine which services they provide (a Service Discovery). The Bluetooth enabled Encore “Sandy’s Printer”
offers the printing service.
3. Joe’s Terminal sends a print connection request to
Sandy’s Printer.
4. Sandy’s Printer evaluates the request and determines
that Joe’s Terminal is permitted to use the print service,
only if the correct password is submitted
.
5. Sandy’s Printer queries Joe’s Terminal for the password
(Authentication).
6. Joe’s Terminal returns the correct password and the
print connection is established.
7. After Joe’s Terminal is finished printing it disconnects
with Sandy’s Printer. (Some Bluetooth services disconnect
automatically, others must be closed manually.)
There are several layers of security in the Bluetooth
system, so this sequence may not be a completely accurate
representation of how your printer may function in a
Bluetooth environment. For the most part, communications
using the Bluetooth protocol are initiated and processed
without any operator intervention, much like the IrDA system
described previously.
