Wi-Fi Direct and NFC Printing (wireless models only)
Wi-Fi Direct and NFC enable printing from a wireless mobile device without requiring a connection to a
network or the Internet. NFC capabilities enable easy one-to-one print connection for mobile devices using
device-to-device touch.
Not all mobile operating systems are currently supported by Wi-Fi Direct and NFC. If the mobile device does
not support Wi-Fi Direct, you must change the wireless network connection of the device to the Wi-Fi Direct
connection of the printer before printing.
NOTE: For non-Wi-Fi Direct capable mobile devices, the Wi-Fi Direct connection only enables printing. After
using Wi-Fi Direct to print, you must reconnect to a local network in order to access the Internet.
To access to the printer Wi-Fi Direct connection, complete the following steps:
1.
From the Home screen on the printer control panel, touch the Connection Information
button.
2. Open the following menus:
●

●

●
Manual: Choosing this option generates a secure, randomly generated password.
4. On the mobile device, open the Wi-Fi or the Wi-Fi Direct menu.
5. From the list of available networks, select the printer name.
