Wi-Fi Direct Mode Setup

You can set up your product to communicate directly with your computer or another device without
requiring a wireless router or access point. In Wi-Fi Direct Mode, the product itself acts as a network
access point for up to 8 devices.

Note: The product normally uses W52 (36ch) as the channel when connecting to Wi-Fi Direct (Simple
AP). Since the channel for wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) connection is selected automatically, the channel used
may differ when used at the same time as a Wi-Fi Direct connection. Sending data to the printer may be
delayed if the channels are different. If it does not interfere with use, connect to the SSID in the 2.4 GHz
band. In the 2.4 GHz frequency band, the channels used will match.
When setting the wireless LAN to 5 GHz, we recommend disabling Wi-Fi Direct.
