public class BluetoothStatusConnectionInsecure
extends BluetoothStatusConnection

Establishes a status only insecure Bluetooth® connection to a Link-OS printer. This connection requires Link-OS firmware 2.5 or higher. This channel will not block the printing channel, nor can it print. If you wish to print, see BluetoothConnection. Insecure Bluetooth® connections do not require the device and the printer to be paired.

Constructor Detail

BluetoothStatusConnectionInsecure

public BluetoothStatusConnectionInsecure(String macAddress)

Constructs a new status only insecure Bluetooth® connection with the given macAddress. The MAC address is a hexadecimal string with or without separators between the octets. (e.g. 00:11:BB:DD:55:FF or 0011BBDD55FF). This constructor will use the default timeouts for Connection.read(). The default timeout is a maximum of 5 seconds for any data to be received. If no more data is available after 500 milliseconds the read operation is assumed to be complete.
To specify timeouts other than the defaults, use:
BluetoothStatusConnectionInsecure(String, int, int).

Parameters:

macAddress - the device's MAC address.

BluetoothStatusConnectionInsecure

public BluetoothStatusConnectionInsecure(String macAddress,
                                 int maxTimeoutForRead,
                                 int timeToWaitForMoreData)

Constructs a new status only insecure Bluetooth® connection with the given macAddress and timeout values. The MAC address is a hexadecimal string with or without separators between the octets. (e.g. 00:11:BB:DD:55:FF or 0011BBDD55FF). This constructor will use the specified timeouts for Connection.read(). The timeout is a maximum of maxTimeoutForRead milliseconds for any data to be received. If no more data is available after timeToWaitForMoreData milliseconds the read operation is assumed to be complete.

Parameters:

macAddress - the device's MAC address.

maxTimeoutForRead - the maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait for any data to be received.

timeToWaitForMoreData - the maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait in-between reads after the initial read.
