Low power device configuration

A method comprising:

• detecting, by a computing device, a plurality of low power beacon signals transmitted by a plurality of low power wireless communication devices, each of the plurality of low power wireless communication devices being coupled to a respective one of a plurality of corresponding primary electronic devices;
• for each low power beacon signal in the detected plurality of low power beacon signals,
• establishing, by the computing device, a respective communication session with each of the low power wireless communication devices from which the plurality of low power beacon signals were detected;
• sending, by the computing device, configuration data corresponding to a configuration setting for a primary electronic device in the plurality of corresponding primary electronic devices that are coupled to the low power wireless communication devices to which the respective communication sessions have been established;
• transmitting, by the computing device, configuration commands to the low power wireless communication devices to which the respective communication sessions have been established to change the low power beacon signals to indicate that the low power wireless communication devices have received the configuration data;
• and
• generating, by the computing device, a record of a confirmation message received from each of the low power wireless communication devices to which the respective communication sessions have been established.

A printer comprising:

• a low power communication device comprising:
• a controller;
• a low power communication interface coupled to the controller;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to the controller and comprising first instructions, that when executed by the controller, cause the controller to:
• transmit a low power beacon signal using the low power communication interface;
• receive configuration data for the printer from a computing device through the low power communication interface, the configuration data corresponding to a configuration setting for the printer;
• and
• store the configuration data in the non-transitory computer readable medium;
• and
• a processor;
• and
• a memory on which is stored second instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• configure the printer using the configuration data stored in the low power communication device.
