About Wi-Fi Direct

Use this connection method when you are not using Wi-Fi at home or at the office, or when you want to connect
the scanner and the computer or smart device directly. In this mode, the scanner acts as an wireless router and you
can connect up to 8 devices to the scanner without having to use a standard wireless router. However, devices
directly connected to the scanner cannot communicate with each other through the scanner.
The scanner can be connected by Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection simultaneously.
However, if you start a network connection in Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection when the scanner is
connected by Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi is temporarily disconnected.
