Issue / Question:

  • How to make Bluetooth Blaster printer work with Mobile Delivery and Cylinder Exchange on an Android device

  • Cylinder Exchange won't connect to Bluetooth Blaster

Environment:

  • Cargas Energy 2017 and newer
  • Mobile Delivery

Resolution / Answer:

By default the bluetooth security settings on the Bluetooth Blasters are set so you have to pair the device and printer together at the device level. This means that you have to pair the tablet you are using with the printer that you want to use in the tablet settings.
Follow these steps below to pair a Blaster Printer with an Android tablet.
  1. First you need to go into the Android's bluetooth settings. You can quickly get there by swiping down from the top of the screen and holding down on the Bluetooth Icon.
