To switch connection types after your printer is set up, the existing connection needs to be turned off and the device rebooted. Please follow the below steps closely to ensure the switch is successful:

Wi-Fi ➡️ Bluetooth

  1. On the printer, navigate to the WLAN settings, turn WLAN (On/Off) to Off, and press [OK].

  2. Reboot both devices (iPad and printer).

  3. Complete the instructions starting with "Connecting to Bluetooth" found here.

Bluetooth ➡️ Wi-Fi
