Bluetooth settings

You can change the device name of the machine, passkey, and so on in the Bluetooth settings.

Note

Bluetooth settings is displayed only when the optional Bluetooth Unit is attached.

Device name:

Specifies the name of this machine that is displayed on a Bluetooth compatible device.

For example, if you set it to XXX-2, the machine will be displayed as "Canon XXX-2" on the Bluetooth device. The default value is XXX-1 (where "XXX" is your machine's name).
Access refusal:

Selecting Enable will disable searching of this machine by a Bluetooth compatible device.
Security:

When you select Enable, the passkey set on the Passkey screen becomes effective. Setting the passkey prevents unwanted access from other Bluetooth devices. You can choose either of the security modes below.
- Mode 3 (recommend)
  
  This mode is activated on link level enforced security.
  
  The passkey will be required when a Bluetooth device communicates with the machine.
  
  Normally select this mode.
- Mode 2
  
  This mode is activated on service level enforced security.
  
  The passkey will be required when printing through Bluetooth communication.
  
  After setting the security mode, we recommend making a trial print through Bluetooth communication.
  
  If printing does not start, change the security mode and try again.
Passkey

Changes the passkey. The passkey is a four-digit number used to prevent unwanted access from other Bluetooth devices.

The initial value is 0000.

After you change the passkey, you may be required to input the new passkey on a Bluetooth device, even though it had previous access to the machine. In this case, enter the new passkey on the device.
