When you connect from the computer or smart device to the printer using the Wi-Fi Direct connection, the printer is
connected to the same Wi-Fi network (SSID) as the computer or smart device and the communication is established
between them. Since the computer or smart device is automatically connected to the other connectable Wi-Fi
network if the printer is turned off, it is not connected to the previous Wi-Fi network again if the printer is turned
on. Connect to the printer's SSID for Wi-Fi Direct connection from the computer or smart device again. If you do
not want to connect every time you turn the printer on or off, we recommend to use Wi-Fi network by connecting
the printer to an access point.
