How to Connect Your Zebra Printer to Bluetooth for Use with the PathSpot SafetySuite App

These steps are similar to the ones outlined above, with a few key differences. Most notably, the printer can only maintain a Bluetooth connection with one device at a time. To ensure a successful connection, please turn off Bluetooth on any other devices that may have previously connected to the printer or are currently within range. Additionally, remove the printer from the list of known devices on those devices before proceeding.

  • Ensure your mobile device is near the printer.

Step 4: Connect to the Printer via the App

  • Once the scan is complete, tap the printer name to connect.

    Note: The printer name is also located on the label on the bottom of the device      

Step 5: Configure Bluetooth Settings

  • After connecting, tap “Connectivity Settings” > “Bluetooth”.

                                         

  • Ensure that both the Bluetooth and Discoverable options are turned on. At this stage, you can also rename the printer to a more user-friendly name if desired.

  • Next, open the PathSpot App and navigate to the Labeling tab to print a label.
