The default template is No.0. Performing setup first time sets this to template 1. Performing setup 2nd time sets this to template 2. Performing setup 3rd time set this back to template 0. To switch to the print templates 3~9, please use InSite. After print template changes successfully, the ACM360 will reboot itself and the red LED will blink once. Notice：the print template number is selected on each master ACM360 connected to the terminal. All templates should be stored in the slave ACM360 connected to the printer. 3.5 Transmission mode This function is for opening/closing the multi-to-one function. Once the multi-to-one function is on, please set one master role and multi slave roles. Notice: The communication is from master to salve only, not bi-directional like SPP communication in 1:1 mode. * How to query the transmission mode Triple click the button of the adaptor. A red light will blink differently according to the different transmission mode. Table 3-5: The meaning of the blinks when querying transmission mode Blinks Transmission mode  Red *1 One to one  Red *2 Multi to one *How to switch transmission mode Press and hold the button of the adaptor until the yellow LED blinks 3 times and then triple click the button within 5 seconds to switch to the transmission mode. After transmission mode changes successfully, the ACM360 will reboot itself and the red LED will blink once. Notice: Both the slave role and master role ACM360 should be set in the same transmission mode. 3.6 Factory reset Finish the installation of the two adaptors as described in chapter 3.1. Press and hold the button of the adaptor until a yellow LED blink 3 times and then press the button 4 times to reset the adaptor.  A red LED will blink 1 time when the reset will be done.  Some parameters will be reset to the default.
