Bluetooth™ & WiFi Setup Command
Datamax-O’Neil printers can be placed in pass-thru mode. In pass-thru mode, data communication will only occur between the
two selected UARTS. This mode of operation is used to setup the Bluetooth™ or 802.11b/g interface parameters. While in this
mode, printing is disabled.
Select Pass-Thru Command Mode ESC P U n1 U n2 T t0 t1 t2 (CR)
This command sets the printer in pass-thru mode. In most serial applications the command can be sent manually or as a file. For
UART selection only use ECU application.

Note: Pass-thru command is not available when Source (n1) = Destination (n2)
The Pass-thru mode terminates under three conditions:
After pressing the FEED button
After TIMEOUT duration specified in the pass-thru command has EXPIRED
After receiving three consecutive “#” characters.
