Pairing operation
You need to perform the operations below the first time you establish a Bluetooth connection for Bluetooth data communication.
- Detect Bluetooth devices
- 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-E601_XX"(XX is last 2 digits of unique BD address.) 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.
Notes
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 upper-case)
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.
Notes
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.
Enabling and disabling auto reconnect
During self test, press the FEED button 3 times -> Auto reconnect = Valid
During self test, press the FEED button 4 times -> Auto reconnect = Invalid
At the end of self test, new setting will be printed as Auto reconnect [Valid] or [Invalid].

3.15 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.

4.6 Error Indications
● Paper end, paper near-end
The end of the roll of paper is detected at two stages, paper near-end and paperend. When paper near-end is detected, the PAPER LED flashes. Prepare a new paper roll. When paper end is detected, the PAPER LED lights and the buzzer sounds. Load a new paper roll. Memory switch settings can be used to disable the buzzer.
- Cover Open
If the cover is opened, the COVER LED lights and a buzzer sounds. The buzzer may not sound depending on the memory switch setting. Do not open the cover during printing. If the cover is accidentally opened, the COVER LEDflashes. Check the paper, pull it straight out of the printer by a couple of centimeters, and then close the cover. Printing restarts. A command must be sent to restart printing depending on the memory switch setting.
- Cutter error
If the auto cutter cannot move because of a paper jam or something else, the CUTTER LED flashes and the buzzer sounds. Remove the cause of the trouble and press the FEED button. If the auto cutter still does not move and the paper cover cannot be opened, refer to “Clearing a Cutter Error.”

Refer to 4.2 Clearing a Cutter Error
● Print stop due to paper jam
When a paper jam occurs at the paper exit, the PAPER LED blinks and printing stops.
Remove the jammed paper and load the paper.

Refer to 4.3 Canceling print stop caused by a paper jam
- Print head hot
When you print dense characters, dark images, or for an extended time in a hot environment, the print head temperature increases. If the print head exceeds a specified temperature, the printer stops printing and waits for the print head to cool. When this happens, the PAPER LED, CUTTER LED, and COVER LED flash. Printing resumes automatically when the print head cools.
The status display for various messages is shown below.

*2 MSW10-5 (buzzer event) can be configured to disable the buzzer.
*3 Indicated when a cover is opened during standby.
*4 Indicated when a cover is opened during printing.
4.7 Paper Jams
Take care to avoid obstruction of the paper outlet and paper jamming around the outlet during printing.
If paper cannot get out of the printer, it can roll up on the platen inside the printer and cause an error.
If the paper wraps around the platen, open the paper cover and carefully pull the paper out.
4.8 Precautions for Performing Printing for Which Printing Speed Changes
When printing for which the printing speed changes is performed, white lines may be printed or paper may not be fed depending on the printing conditions. To prevent these problems, change the following memory switch settings.
- Enable MSW2-3 (buffering).
- Increase the baud rate of MSW7-1 (serial baud rate).
- Change MSW10-2 (print speed) to a lower level.
Notes
Depending on the serial interface transmission speed, ambient temperature, print data duty, and other factors, changing the above settings may not eliminate the problems.
