Introduction
Introduction
Introduction of This Manual
is manual introduces the procedures for connecting smart devices and computers to the printer, building a
network connection, and making network settings for the printer. To use the printer with Wi-Fi, you need a relay
point such as an access point or a router. If you have a relay point, we recommend that you use it to connect the
printer by Wi-Fi. If you do not have a relay point, you can also connect the printer directly to your smart device by
Wi - F i .
is manual explains the procedures for making network settings on computers and smart devices. Follow the
procedure that best suits your network setup.
Before you start reading this manual, you have to nish the initial setup for the printer. See the manual supplied
with the printer for details. Also, if you want to make the printer's network settings from a computer, connect a
computer and relay point (access point), and connect the computer to the network beforehand.
Using the Printer from a Smart Device
e [Connecting the Printer to a Smart Devices] section explains how to connect the printer to a smart device. If
you want to connect a computer and a smart device to the printer at the same time, we recommend connecting the
printer to the computer rst. is allows you to connect the smart device to the printer simply by selecting the
same network (SSID) as the printer.

connection in Simple AP mode when the printer is connected by Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi is temporarily disconnected.
❏ Wi - Fi D ir e c t Mo de
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.
