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:

Wifi ➡️ 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 ➡️ Wifi

  1. Turn Bluetooth OFF on the iPad and printer, then reboot both devices (iPad and printer).

    1. To turn Bluetooth off on the iPad, navigate to the Settings app, select Bluetooth and toggle it off.

    2. To turn Bluetooth off on the printer, navigate to Bluetooth and then turn Bluetooth off. Press [OK].
