Hello
I have received two printed documents giving me a WIFI DIORECT PIN code. then it shows this PIN code will be valid for 90 seconds.. What is 90 seconds? when I receive these im not even by my computer. it states when "Prompted" enter this pin in your computer.or mobile device. I do not use my mobile device for printing. I just Talk and Text. When am I "prompted"? Where do I enter it? there is no Directional Instructions.
When reconnecting to this printer use WIFI DIRECT in the future. What is this talking or regarding about? I'm so confused.. Why is this coming up now?
Thank You

Let me take a moment to thank you for posting on the HP Support Forums.
I understand that you have received two printed documents which give you a Wifi Direct Pin and show that the pin will be valid for 90 seconds. I understand that you need more clarity about what it means and why this message was sent. I'll surely assist you with this.
The Wi-Fi Direct provides a direct wireless connection to your HP printer that allows you to print without joining a local network or connecting to the Internet. When you activate Wi-Fi Direct on your printer, you can securely print documents or photos from most Wi-Fi-capable computers and mobile devices. The technology is similar to Bluetooth, but uses Wi-Fi to work at greater distances and faster speeds.
In case you're not using this technology and are happy using your HP printer the way it is then you may ignore it. For detailed information regarding printing with Wi-Fi Direct, please refer to this HP Document.
I hope this answers yor question. Please do not hesitate to reach out for any further questions. Cheers! 🙂
