  Enabling Wi-Fi Direct Mode

  1. Press the  home button, if necessary.
  2. Press the arrow buttons to select Wi-Fi Setup and press the OK button. You see this screen:
     
     
  3. Press the arrow buttons to select Wi-Fi Direct and press the OK button.
  4. Press the OK button until you see the network name and password on the LCD screen.
  5. Press the down arrow button and press the OK button to change the Wi-Fi Direct password.

     Note: If you have already connected devices or computers to your product via Wi-Fi Direct, they will be disconnected when you change the password.

  6. Enter your Wi-Fi Direct password.

     Note: Make a note of the SSID and password that appear.

  9. Press the OK button to exit. You see either an AP or D connection symbol on the LCD screen and should be able to connect to your product directly from your computer or device, and then print.

     Note: If the AP or D connection symbol is not displayed in blue on the LCD screen, Wi-Fi Direct mode is not enabled. Repeat these steps to try again.
