Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) Connection

Use this connection method when you are not using Wi-Fi at home or at the office, or when you want to connect
the printer and the computer or smart device directly. In this mode, the printer acts as an access point and you can
connect up to four devices to the printer without having to use a standard access point. However, devices directly
connected to the printer cannot communicate with each other through the printer.
Note:
Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection is a connection method designed to replace Ad Hoc mode.
The printer 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 printer is connected
by Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi is temporarily disconnected.
