Pairing operation
You need to perform the operations below the first time you establish a Bluetooth
connection for Bluetooth data communication.
- 1.Detect Bluetooth devices
- 2.Configure pairing settings
- 1.Detecting Bluetooth devices
- Confirm that Bluetooth is enabled on the host PC before searching for Bluetooth devices.
- This product will show up as "CT-S751_XX"(XX is last 2 digits of unique Serial Number.) when it is detected.
- Select this product from among the detected devices.
- Note: You can search for devices and change the names.
- When memory switch MSW13-5 is set to "No Response," nothing is displayed by device
detection.
- You can temporarily switch this setting to device detection (detect mode) by opening
the paper cover and holding down the FEED button for two seconds. Detect mode is exited when the connection between the host
PC is terminated.
- 2.Configuring pairing settings
- Normally, selecting the printer during device detection will transition directly to
pairing settings.

CAUTION
- Some host PC configurations and models may not transition directly to pairing settings
after the printer is selected during device detection.
The operation required to configure pairing settings depends on whether SSP (secure
simple pairing) is enabled on the host PC.
If SSP is enabled on the host PC, pairing can be achieved without additional operations.
If SSP is disabled on the host PC, you will be prompted to input a passkey.
Input the passkey as described below.
Passkey
Last four digits of the address on the self test printout (Letters A through F are
uppercase)
Example: If the address is 01:23:45:67:89:AB the passkey is 89AB.
If you delete paring information from the host PC without deleting the corresponding
pairing information on the printer, the printer may not show up if you detect devices
again with the host PC.
To delete printer pairing information, open the paper cover and then hold down the
FEED button for five seconds.
Deleting pairing information on the printer will put the printer into discovery mode.
Auto reconnection
With iOS device Bluetooth communication, a connection between a paired iOS device
and the printer is not automatically restored after it is lost. However, when auto
reconnection is enabled, the printer tries to reconnect with an iOS device after two-way
communication is enabled and automatically restores the connection.

CAUTION
- This function is enabled when shipped from the factory. (MSW13-6)
Auto reconnection can take some time to connect when the host is not an iOS device.
- Even if the partner device is an iOS device, the conditions below can interfere with
the auto reconnection function.
- When you want Bluetooth communication to cut off after printing is complete
- When there are multiple iOS devices printing on the same printer
- Under such conditions, disable auto reconnection.

Pairing operation
You need to perform the operations below the first time you establish a Bluetooth
connection for Bluetooth data communication.
- 1.Detect Bluetooth devices
- 2.Configure pairing settings
- 1.Detecting Bluetooth devices
- Confirm that Bluetooth is enabled on the host PC before searching for Bluetooth devices.
- This product will show up as "CT-S751_XX"(XX is last 2 digits of unique Serial Number.) when it is detected.
- Select this product from among the detected devices.
- Note: You can search for devices and change the names.
- When memory switch MSW13-5 is set to "No Response," nothing is displayed by device
detection.
- With these settings, pressing and holding the panel button for at least three seconds
and then pressing it twice more places the product temporarily in a state where it
will be found in device searching (discovery mode).
Discovery mode cancels when the product is connected to a host PC.
- 2.Configuring pairing settings
- Normally, selecting the printer during device detection will transition directly to
pairing settings.

CAUTION
- Some host PC configurations and models may not transition directly to pairing settings
after the printer is selected during device detection.
The operation required to configure pairing settings depends on whether SSP (secure
simple pairing) is enabled on the host PC.
If SSP is enabled on the host PC, pairing can be achieved without additional operations.
If SSP is disabled on the host PC, you will be prompted to input a passkey.
Input the passkey as described below.
Passkey
Last four digits of the address on the self test printout (Letters A through F are
uppercase)
Example: If the address is 01:23:45:67:89:AB the passkey is 89AB.
If you delete paring information from the host PC without deleting the corresponding
pairing information on the printer, the printer may not show up if you detect devices
again with the host PC.
When deleting pairing information, press and hold the panel button for at least three
seconds, and after the buzzer sounds, press it four more times.
If successful, “Erase Bonded Device” is printed.
Deleting pairing information on the printer will put the printer into discovery mode.
Auto reconnection
With iOS device Bluetooth communication, a connection between a paired iOS device
and the printer is not automatically restored after it is lost. However, when auto
reconnection is enabled, the printer tries to reconnect with an iOS device after two-way
communication is enabled and automatically restores the connection.

CAUTION
- This function is enabled when shipped from the factory. (MSW13-6)
Auto reconnection can take some time to connect when the host is not an iOS device.
- Even if the partner device is an iOS device, the conditions below can interfere with
the auto reconnection function.

Precautions for Creating Applications and Practical Operations
If printing is done immediately after the paper is partially cut and torn off, the
top of the next print out may be distorted.
For printing after cutting, we recommend to print with the first line empty.
If you are using a serial interface that has a slow data transmission speed, streaks
may appear in the printouts when you are printing graphics or gradated text, which
require large amounts of data.
USB interfaces may be susceptible to the effects of electromagnetic interference from
the host or environment.
If this is the case, try using a cable with ferrite cores on both ends, which are
very effective at eliminating EMI.
