Methods
The printer can connect to a wired LAN or a wireless
LAN. Furthermore, it also supports Wi-Fi Direct
(Simple AP) which allows a smart device or other device
to directly connect wirelessly with the printer even when
there is no wired LAN or wireless LAN environment.
The printer cannot connect to a wired LAN and wireless
LAN at the same time. A Wi-Fi Direct connection is
possible regardless of whether or not the printer is
connected to a network.
This section describes the procedures to use to switch
the connection method.
