  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

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, input the new passkey on the device.
