Intermec 074964 User Manual

The PB42 contains a Bluetooth radio that allows wireless 
communication with a remote device from distances up to 100 
meters (approximately 328 feet) depending on the Bluetooth 
range capabilities of the remote device , environmental 
conditions, and obstructions. For the Bluetooth-enabled devices 
to exchange data, both devices must establish a connection. 
Bluetooth software is always running in the background, ready 
to respond to connection requests.  

One device (the CK60 or 700) must request a connection with 
another device. The second device (the PB42) then accepts or 
rejects the connection. This miniature network is sometimes 
referred to as a “piconet” and can consist of several Bluetooth-
enabled devices. 

Each Bluetooth PB42 has a unique Bluetooth Device Address 
(BDA) loaded into its module when manufactured. You can find 
the BDA on the certification label located on the bottom of the 
printer. 

The PB42 cannot initiate a Bluetooth connection. You must 
connect to the PB42 from a CK60 or 700 computer. Use 
Intermec Settings on either device to enable the Bluetooth 
settings on the PB42. For maximum security, you need to 
configure a Bluetooth passcode for the PB42. The default 
passcode for the PB42 is “1234.” 

•  Follow the procedure to discover and connect to Bluetooth 

devices in your CK60 or 700 computer user’s manual. 

You can use a serial cable (P/N 075497-001) to connect the 
PB42 to either a PC, a 700, or a CK60. For the CK60, you also 
need a snap-on serial adapter (P/N 225-690-xxx). 

Before you can establish a serial connection, you need to make 
sure that the settings on the PC or CK60 match those of the 
PB42.
