Printing on SmartLobby via BlueTooth
- Enabling Bluetooth on Printer
- Retrieving the Bluetooth Mac Address on the Printer
- Pairing Your Tablet or iPad with the Bluetooth Printer
In case you have difficulties printing via your local network, you can try Bluetooth.
Note that not all printers support BlueTooth. For instance, QL-820NWB does support BlueTooth (the ‘B’ in the name stands for BlueTooth).
Enabling Bluetooth on Printer
- Press the [Menu] button to view the main menu.
- Using the [▲] and [▼] buttons, select Bluetooth > Bluetooth (On/Off) > On in the settings menu, then press [OK].
- Using the [▲] and [▼] buttons, select Bluetooth > Automatic Reconnection > On in the settings menu, then press [OK].
- Press the back [↩] button to return to the main screen.
- You should then see the Bluetooth symbol in the top right corner.
Retrieving the Bluetooth Mac Address on the Printer
In order to support multiple BlueTooth printers simultaneously, and for a friction-less printing experience, it is recommended that one use the MAC address of the Bluetooth interface of the printer.
- Press the [Menu] button to view the main menu.
- Using the [▲] and [▼] buttons, select Bluetooth > Bluetooth Status > Address (This is a series of characters separated by ‘:’).
- Please note down the MAC address as it will become useful when setting up the printer in the SmartLobby admin dashboard.
Pairing Your Tablet or iPad with the Bluetooth Printer
This is a pretty generic process and depends on whether your device is iOS or Android.

For Apple devices (iPad / iPad Air / iPad mini / iPhone or iPod touch):
- From the home screen of your Apple device, tap [Settings], and then tap [Bluetooth].
- Slide the toggle button to the [ON] position.
-
