Connecting with Near Field Communication (NFC)
NFC Overview
Near field communication (NFC) is a technology that enables devices to communicate
when they are in close range. NFC allows you to add a printer to your Android mobile
device easily. After you add the printer, there is no need to use NFC on that printer. You
can use NFC to obtain the network interface to establish a TCP/IP connection between
your device and the printer.
Devices can communicate using NFC when they are within the following ranges:
• Device with case: 17–20 mm (0.7 x 0.8 in.)
• Device without case: 20–25 mm (0.8 x 1 in.)
Note: The range can vary depending on the device manufacturer. For information about the required
settings for individual mobile devices, refer the documentation supplied by the manufacturer of your mobile
device.
For details about configuring NFC on your printer, refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.support.xerox.
com.
Using NFC on your Mobile Device
The NFC feature requires installation of the Xerox Print Service app on the mobile device.
Your mobile device must use the same Wi-Fi network environment as the printer. The printer does not need to have
a wireless connection.
Note: NFC supports Android 4.4 or greater devices.
