Page 19 Selecting “Bluetooth Settings” will display the following screen where you will have 
the choice of setting two parameters, the PIN code and the Local Name.
Setting a new PIN code limits access to your printer to only a host that has the correct 
PIN code.
Setting a new Local Name allows identifi cation of this particular printer where multiple 
printers are available and discoverable.
Both the PIN code and the Local Name must use alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-
9) only. The Local Name can...

NOTE: These confi guration options are in most cases relevant only where the host 
              computer will be sending simple text data to the printer and does not have a 
              Brother-supplied driver available.  The options which are common to all 
    operating systems include Auto-On, Auto-Off , and Pre-feed.

queue will be displayed.  If...

For standard paper  sizes, this setting determines default margins and expected length 
for each printed page.  For ‘Custom’ sizes, margins and length may be set using the 
commands ‘Form Length’, ‘Bottom Margin’, ‘Left Margin’ and ‘Right Margin’.
‘Letter’ size assumes an 8-1/2 x 11” page, and sets a total printable height of 10.67”, 
which in turn provides for a top margin of about 0.27”, and a bottom margin of about 
0.06”.  Printable width is set to 8.16” with 0.17” margins on either side....

Form Feed  Mode:
                                
This setting affects what the printer will do in response to a Form Feed command 
from any source.  Different modes are appropriate depending upon the type of 
paper being used.
‘Fixed Page’ mode is typically appropriate.  It assumes a known page length (based 
upon the ‘Form Length’ and/or ‘Paper Size’ settings).  It advances a new sheet to the 
printing position, and attempts to eject it at an appropriate distance based upon the 
length of the...

power source is connected to the printer.  This can be useful in certain mobile 
installations where access to the Main  Switch is diffi cult or unavailable.
If Auto-On is set to ‘Enabled-No Main  Switch’, the printer will power up as soon as 
an external power source is connected, and furthermore, the Main Switch cannot 
be used to turn the printer off.  This may be useful in some mobile installations 
where the button could be accidentally pressed.   Power must be disconnected to 
shut off the...

Page 24 This command determines what the ESC/P
® emulation does with ASCII characters 10 
and 13.  These are the ‘line feed’ (LF) and ‘carriage return’ (CR) characters.  The 
“LF” causes the printer to move down to the next print line, and the “CR” causes the 
printer to move back to the left margin position.  In most cases, these are sent at the 
ends of lines to position the printer for the next line of text.
Some host computers send one or the other of these, and some send both, each hoping 
to move...

Form Length:
   
This command can be used to set the form length of a ‘Custom’ size page.  You may 
specify the vertical print area in text lines as defi ned by the ‘Text Line Spacing’ 
setting, or in inches.
If using the ‘Lines’ method for setting “custom” form length, the physical height of  
the page is determined by the vertical space per line as determined by the ‘Text Line 
Spacing’ command.  The minimum value allowed is the number of lines that would 
equal at least one inch of print...

Bottom Margin:
   
This setting will modify the bottom margin when ‘Page Size’ is set to ‘Custom’.
‘Lines’ allow you to set a bottom margin equal to the height of a specifi c number of text 
lines.  The actual space that is left depends upon the current setting of the ‘Text Line 
Spacing’ setting.  For example, if ‘Text Line Spacing’ is set to 1/6”, and the ‘Bottom 
Margin’ is set to ‘4’ lines, 2/3” of blank space will be created at the bottom of 
each page.  
The minimum and ‘default’ space...
