Connect wirelessly to the printer without a router

With Wi-Fi Direct, you can print wirelessly from a computer, smart phone, tablet, or other wireless- capable device—without connecting to an existing wireless network.

Guidelines for using Wi-Fi Direct

●Make sure your computer or mobile device has the necessary software.

If you are using a computer, make sure you have installed the printer software provided with the printer.

●If you have not installed the HP printer software on the computer, connect to Wi-Fi Direct first and then install the printer software. Select Wireless when prompted by the printer software for a connection type.

●If you are using a mobile device, make sure you have installed a compatible printing app. For more information about mobile printing, visit www.hp.com/global/us/en/eprint/ mobile_printing_apps.html.

●Make sure Wi-Fi Direct is turned on in the printer and, if necessary, security is enabled.

●Up to five computers and mobile devices can use the same Wi-Fi Direct connection.

●Wi-Fi Direct can be used while the printer is also connected either to a computer using a USB cable or to a network using a wireless connection.

●Wi-Fi Direct cannot be used to connect a computer, mobile device, or printer to the Internet.
