The reader will automatically search for nearby devices to which it can connect. Once these are identified, they will be listed appropriately for the user to select the correct one.
In case of Bixolon printers, they will appear with the model name (e.g., XM7) and a device identification number.

From this point you can start reading.
In future instances, you will simply have to proceed with searching for the device through the Settings/Bluetooth/Connected devices (steps 3 and 4).
When the printer is found, the reader will ask if it is the previously configured ZPL Printer. Upon confirmation it will automatically connect and skip to the step of selecting the desired task.
