Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) Connection

Use this connection method when you are not using Wi-Fi at home or at the oce, or when you want to connect the printer and the computer or smart device directly. In this mode, the printer acts as an access point and you can connect up to four devices to the printer without having to use a standard access point. However, devices directly connected to the printer cannot communicate with each other through the printer.
