During the software installation, select the Wireless (Network/Ethernet) connection when prompted, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

Connect wirelessly to the printer without a router

HP Wireless Direct allows you to print directly to your printer wirelessly, without a wireless router, from your Wi-Fi enabled devices (for example: computers or smartphones). To use Wireless Direct, you need to:

1.Turn on Wireless Direct from the control panel, and get the Wireless Direct name and password if you have Wireless Direct security on:

a.From your printer’s home screen, press the Wireless button and then select Settings.

b.If the display shows that Wireless Direct is Off, select Wireless Direct and then select On (No Security) or On (With Security).

Note: If you turn on security, only users with the password will be able to connect wirelessly to the printer. If you turn off security, anyone with a Wi-Fi device within Wi-Fi range of the printer will be able to connect to the printer.

c.Select Display Name to display the Wireless Direct name.

d.Select Display Password to display the Wireless Direct password if you have the Wireless Direct security on.

2.From your wireless computer or mobile device, turn wireless on, search for and connect to the Wireless Direct name, for example: HP-Print-XX-Deskjet 3520 series. If you have Wireless Direct security on, enter the Wireless Direct password when prompted. Then print as you normally do from your computer or mobile device.

•• Wireless Direct connection provides no Internet access.

•• To use Wireless Direct from a computer, the printer software must be installed on the computer.
