Connecting with Near Field Communication (NFC)

NFC Overview
Near field communication (NFC) is a technology that enables devices to communicate when
they are in close range. NFC allows you to add a printer to your Android mobile device easily.
After you add the printer, there is no need to use NFC on that printer. You can use NFC to
obtain the network interface to establish a TCP/IP connection between your device and the
printer.
Devices can communicate using NFC when they are within the following ranges:
• Device with case: 17–20 mm (0.7 x 0.8 in.)
• Device without case: 20–25 mm (0.8 x 1 in.)
Note: The range can vary depending on the device manufacturer. For information about the required
settings for individual mobile devices, refer the documentation supplied by the manufacturer of your
mobile device.
For details about configuring NFC on your printer, refer to the System Administrator Guide at
www.xerox.com/office/ALB80XXdocs.
Using NFC on your Mobile Device
The NFC feature requires installation of the Xerox Print Service app on the mobile device.
Your mobile device must use the same Wi-Fi network environment as the printer. The printer does not
need to have a wireless connection.
Note: NFC supports Android 4.4 or greater devices.
