WiFi Direct - Win8: “Limited connectivity”
Question: Windows 8/8.1/10 OS is showing connection limited when connected to the printer through Direct
Wi-Fi.
Answer: Not a connectivity issue. Windows shows this message because it is trying to connect the device to
the internet using the Wi-Fi Direct connection, which is not possible. Wi-Fi direct is intended to connect the
printer with several devices (up to 5) but it is not a hotspot for connecting them to internet.
IP static in some units
Question: Unit does not connect to LAN and IP address is 192.xx.xx.xxx.
Answer: Some units did not undergo the right process in the manufacturing line and left the factory with their
IP set to static. Workaround: Change IP setting to “automatic” in Front Panel.

Potentially aected population: S/Ns starting with CN59xxxxxxx, CN5Axxxxxxx and CN5Bxxxxxxx.
Permanently disabling Wireless connectivity on T730s/T830s
Question: Can we remove the WiFi board from the MainPCA if we want to disable WiFi?
Answer: Yes, unit will work OK:
●
The WiFi module can be physically removed from the Main PCA. Unit will work normally but WiFi will not
work, evidently.
●
All WiFi settings/options in the Front Panel and EWS will be shown but will not be functional.
●
The EWS Administrator can hide the WiFi options present in the Front Panel so normal users do not see
them.
●
IMPORTANT: In case of a repair, the MPCA SV kit contains an MPCA with the WiFi module, so WiFi would
be enabled again.
