Setting the Wi-Fi Direct for mobile printing

Wi-Fi Direct is an easy-to-setup peer-to-peer connection method between the Wi-Fi Direct certified printer and a mobile device that provides a secure connection and better throughput than ad hoc mode.

With Wi-Fi Direct, you can connect your printer to a Wi-Fi Direct network while concurrently connecting to an access point, You can also use a wired network and a Wi-Fi Direct network simultaneously so multiple users can access and print documents both from Wi-Fi Direct and from a wired network.

• You cannot connect your mobile device to the internet through the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct.

•The supported protocol list may differ from your model, Wi-Fi Direct networks do NOT support IPv6, network filtering, IPSec, WINS, and SLP services.

•The maximum number of devices that can be connected via Wi-Fi Direct is 3.

-Group Owner: Activate this option to assign the printer the Wi-Fi Direct group’s owner. The Group Owner acts similar to a wireless access point. We recommend activating this option.
