How do I connect my product with a Wi-Fi Direct connection?

• See below.

  Enabling Wi-Fi Direct Mode

  You can enable Wi-Fi Direct mode to allow direct communication between your product and computer or other devices without a wireless router or access point.

  Note: This feature requires the optional wireless LAN interface.

  Note: This product normally uses W52 (36ch) as the channel when connecting to Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP). Since the channel for wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) connection is selected automatically, the channel used may differ when used at the same time as a Wi-Fi Direct connection. Sending data to the printer may be delayed if the channels are different. If it does not interfere with use, connect to the SSID in the 2.4 GHz band. In the 2.4 GHz frequency band,the channels used will match. When setting the wireless LAN to 5 GHz, we recommend disabling Wi-Fi Direct.

  1. Press the  home button, if necessary.
