10. Using the Machine via Mobile Device
Using the NFC feature (Optional)
If you want to add NFC feature to the machine, check the option lists and
contact the purchasing point to order (see "Available accessories" on page
290). When you purchase a Wireless/NFC kit (Optional), install the kit by
following the steps described in the Wireless/NFC kit (Optional) Installation
Guide which is enclosed in the kit. After installing the Wireless/NFC kit
(Optional), set the machine to use this feature.
The NFC (Near Field Communication) printer allows you to directly print from your mobile
device just by holding your mobile device over the NFC tag on Wireless/NFC Kit (Wireless
LAN Option). It does not require installing print driver or connecting to an access point.
You just need NFC supported mobile device. In order to use this feature, mobile apps
needs to be installed on your mobile device.
• Depending on the material of the mobile device cover, NFC recognition
may not work properly.
• Depending on the mobile device you are using, the transmission speed
may differ.
• This feature is available only for the model with a NFC tag (see "Machine
overview" on page 20).
• Using a cover or a battery other than the ones that came with the mobile
device, or a metal cover/sticker can block NFC.
• If NFC devices keep failing to communicate,
- Remove the case or cover from the mobile device, then try again.
- Reinstall the battery from the mobile device, then try again.
