Connecting the Smart Device and Printer by Wi-Fi Direct Mode (for
Android Only)
Connect the smart device to the printer in Wi-Fi Direct mode. The smart device needs to support Wi-Fi Direct to
connect. See the manual provided with your smart device for the operating instructions.
Important:
c
❏ Smart devices directly connected to the printer cannot access the Internet through the Wi-Fi.
❏ If you start a network connection in Wi-Fi Direct mode when the printer is connected either by Wi-Fi or Simple
AP mode, the original connection is disconnected. If you disconnect Wi-Fi Direct mode, the original connection
is re-established.
❏ Some of the functions (for example, printer firmware updates and Epson Connect setup) are disabled during Wi-
Fi Direct connection.
❏ You cannot connect directly by Wi-Fi when the printer is connected to a computer in Ad Hoc mode.
❏ Use Web Config to make Wi-Fi Direct settings for the printer. To use Web Config, the IP address must be
assigned to the printer, and the printer and the smart device must be connected to the same network.
