The Bulgin MAPiQ™ Bluetooth® Printer is a compact wireless thermal printer designed specifically for use with the MAPiQ™ Oxygen and MAPiQ™ Multi Portable Gas Analysers. Providing instant hard-copy printouts of gas measurement results, the printer allows Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) personnel to generate immediate records for production documentation, batch verification and quality audits.
Using Bluetooth® wireless technology, the printer pairs directly with the MAPiQ™ analyser, allowing operators to print measurement results at the touch of a button without the need for cables, ink cartridges or external software. The lightweight, portable design makes it ideal for use throughout food production facilities, laboratories and packaging lines.

Printed Information
When connected to a MAPiQ™ analyser, the Bluetooth® Printer produces an immediate printed record containing the measurement information stored by the analyser.
Depending on the analyser model, printouts may include:
- Customer
- Product Profile
- Operator ID
- Production Line
- Sample Volume
- Oxygen (O₂) Result
- Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Result (MAPiQ™ Multi only)
- Nitrogen Balance (MAPiQ™ Multi only)
- Pass/Fail Status
- Date
- Time
This provides an immediate quality record that can be attached to production documentation or retained for compliance and audit purposes.
Why Use a Bluetooth® Printer?
While all MAPiQ™ analysers store results electronically and allow CSV data export, many food manufacturers continue to require printed records for production paperwork, quality inspections and customer documentation.
The Bluetooth® Printer allows operators to:
- Produce immediate quality records
- Improve production traceability
- Support Quality Management System documentation
- Simplify customer and auditor reporting
- Reduce manual transcription errors
- Improve workflow efficiency on the production floor

Easy Wireless Operation
The printer connects directly to the MAPiQ™ analyser via the Bluetooth® menu. Once paired, measurement results can be printed automatically whenever the Save & Print option is selected following a completed gas analysis.
The printer's rechargeable battery provides extended operating time between charges and can be conveniently charged using the same USB cable and power supply supplied with the MAPiQ™ analyser.
Operator Guidance
For optimum performance, position the printer within 2 metres of the analyser and maintain a clear line of sight between devices. Ensure thermal paper is correctly installed and the battery is adequately charged before use.
If the analyser or printer has been powered off or remains idle for an extended period, simply reconnect the Bluetooth® connection through the analyser menu before printing.
Note: The MAPiQ™ Bluetooth® Printer uses direct thermal printing technology and does not require ink cartridges or ribbons. For best print quality, use genuine thermal receipt paper and keep the print head clean in accordance with the operating instructions.
Designed for Food Manufacturing
The MAPiQ™ Bluetooth® Printer complements the MAPiQ™ analyser range by providing immediate, portable and professional documentation of gas analysis results. Combined with the analyser's electronic storage and CSV export capability, it helps food manufacturers strengthen quality assurance procedures, improve traceability and simplify compliance with food production and audit requirements.
