Network Guide Connecting the Printer to a Smart Device with each other through the printer. There are two ways to connect to the printer from a smart device; Wi-Fi connection and Wi-Fi Direct connection. The printer can be connected by Wi-Fi and Simple AP mode simultaneously. However, if you start a network connection in Simple AP mode when the printer is connected by Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi is temporarily disconnected. ❏ Wi-Fi Direct Mode You can establish a one-to-one connection between the printer and a smart device. Since the network connection is disconnected in Wi-Fi Direct mode, this type of connection should only be used as a temporary measure.
Your smart device must be Wi-Fi Direct capable. See the documentation provided with your smart device for details.
