How to Pair a Motorola Symbol MC70 Mobile Computer with a Zebra EM220 Portable Printer via Bluetooth

Begin by making sure that both the Motorola MC70 mobile computer and the Zebra EM220 mobile receipt printer are enabled with Bluetooth. Fortunately, the Motorola MC70 handheld computer comes with Bluetooth as a standard option, but the Zebra EM 220 receipt printer does not which means you’ll have to request that option when purchasing one.

Typically, pairing the Motorola MC75mobile computer with the Zebra EM220 mobile printer (or EM420 receipt printer) via Bluetooth is no different that pairing your cellular phone with a Bluetooth headset. The only “non-standard” part is that Zebra sometimes not include a default Bluetooth PIN for the Zebra EM220 printer. In order to set the PIN for the Zebra EM220 portable receipt printer, you will need to use Zebra’s Label Vista program which you can download from the Zebra website (www.Zebra.com).

Within Zebra’s Label Vista software you will need to set the PIN by selecting the Printer | Bluetooth Settings menu option. In the “Authentication:” field, select the “SETPIN” option in the drop down menu and then enter the PIN you want to use in the “Pin:” field. You can also enter a “Friendly Name:” so that you’ll be better able to identify your Zebra EM220 mobile printer. Lastly, set the “Discoverable:” mode to ON. The default PIN code for the Zebra EM220 portable printer is “0000″

Now that you have the Bluetooth PIN for the Zebra EM220 portable printer, you can begin pairing the Zebra EM220 printer with the MC70 handheld computer. In order for most printers to use the Bluetooth connection, we will want to associate a serial port with the Bluetooth connection. The first step is to click the Bluetooth icon in the Windows Program Tray which is in the lower right hand window of your Symbol MC70 handheld computer. Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on the Symbol MC70 mobile computer and then click the Show BTExplorer menu option. Select “File-> New Connection” to start the “BTExplorer New Connection Wizard.” On the drop down menu in the middle of the screen, select the “Associate Serial Port” option and then click the “Next->” button in the lower RHS of the screen. The Motorola MC70 mobile computer should then begin looking for Bluetooth devices that it can pair with; with a little bit of luck, it will see the Zebra EM220 receipt printer and should just be able to click the “Next-” button until you see a prompt requesting the PIN. Enter the Pin and you be done. The Motorola MC70 Mobile Computer should now be paired with your Zebra EM200 receipt printer.

Which computer printer technology would you go for?

A computer printer is a device that produces human readable text or graphics in electronic form.

The following printer technologies are found in modern printers

• Toner based printers: Toner based printers are very similar to photocopiers. They refer to the method used to adhere to the media. They are known for high quality prints, high print speed and low cost per copy. The most common example of toner based printers is laser printers. Their cost effective benefit has made them dominant for home and office applications. Another fine example of toner based printer would be LED printer which uses an array of LED’s instead of a laser to cause toner adhesion.
• Inkjet Printers: Inkjet printers are cheaper than laser printers but they are expensive to run as their cartridges need to be frequently replaced. Inkjet printers are widely used at homes and by small business users. They have an excellent all round printing capabilities from black and white to color prints. Inkjet printers ensure high resolution photo prints offering high quality photographs. Inkjet printers are comparatively much slower than laser printers. Another disadvantage of inkjet printer is that the pages take a long time to dry before they can be actually handled.
• Impact Printers: Impact printers rely on a forcible ink to transfer ink to the media. They are similar to typewriters and have a limited capacity for reproducing text. A daisy wheel printer is a specific type of printer where the type is molded around the edge of a wheel. Impact printers are basically of two types’ letter quality printers and dot matrix printers.
• Line Printers: Line printers print an entire line of text at a time. These printers were the fastest in impact printers and were used for bulk printing in large computer centers. They were never used with personal computers due to their operating system. They have now been replaced by high speed laser printers.
