Bluetooth iOS printing on Bixolon SPP-R200II


We are users of POS printer Bixolon SPP-R200II which we use for realisation of one of our projects. In the specification of this model it is listed that printer supports printing on iOS devices (iPhone & iPad) but until now we have not succeeded to achieve that. We switch the printer onto iOS mode with a required combination we fonud in official documentation and we got confirmation message. Then we connected to the printer from bluetooth interface inside iPhone Settings app.

After that we tryed to print on this device in various ways - using official test app from AppStore (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bixolon-printer-utility/id647125968?mt=8) and using official Bixolon SDK (http://www.bixolon.com/upload/download/software_all_bixolon_printer_sdk_for_ios_v3.1.8.zip) but unfortunately we havent managed to get any result. In this sample apps printer was not even listed as a possible connection point.

Can you direct us in any way to get the printing on iOS devices working? Thank you!


Solution

  • We had the same problem and after contacting technical support, concluded that the model we have is not compatible with iOS, the part number must be 3 letters i, for example SPP-R200IIIK/USA. After making the switch equipment provider, everything works perfectly.
