Review

 

The printer has two ways to connect that are not "Wired".

 

Once connected, the printer can generally connect to a supported phone, that is, a phone that is running a supported Operating System / version.

 

Connect to the network using standard Wireless --

Or

Use Wi-Fi Direct

 

Wireless network

  • The printer can connect to a standard wireless network on 2.4GHz (no 5GHz).  The router controlled network can then handle connections from the printer to other supported devices (computer, tablet, phone) on that same networkReminder >> The Phone's Location services and Bluetooth should be switched ON during the initial connection phase.

 

Wi-Fi Direct

  • The printer can be connected using the printer's own wireless radio and the wireless on a supported device (computer, tablet, phone).  This type of connection is called Wi-Fi Direct .  Wi-Fi Direct is explained in your printer's user manual.  Reference: 

    User Guide

    Wi-Fi Direct - Starting on Page 59 - Section "Connect wirelessly to the printer without a router"
