then turn it on. If the connection does not
improve, see the documentation for the
wireless router.
*No more devices can be connected.
Disconnect one of the connected devices if
you want to add another one.

Connecting a Smart Device and Printer Directly (Wi-Fi
Direct)
Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) allows you to connect a smart device directly to the printer without a wireless router and
print from the smart device.
About Wi-Fi Direct
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 wireless router and you
can connect the devices to the printer without having to use a standard wireless router. However, devices directly
connected to the printer cannot communicate with each other through the printer.

Connecting a Smart Device and Printer Directly (Wi-Fi Direct)
Solution
After moving the printer closer to the wireless router and removing any
obstacles between them, turn off the wireless router. Wait for about 10
seconds, and then turn it on. If it still does not connect, see the
documentation supplied with the wireless router.
Computer and smart devices that can be connected simultaneously are
connected in full in the Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection. To add another
computer or smart device, disconnect one of the connected devices or
connect it to the other network first.
You can confirm the number of wireless devices which can be connected
simultaneously and the number of connected devices by checking the
network status sheet or the printer's control panel.
On the printer's control panel, go to Wi-Fi Direct Setup screen and select the
menu to change the setting. You can change the network name following
after DIRECT-XX-. Enter within 22 characters.
