Setting the Wi-Fi Direct for mobile printing
Wi-Fi Direct is an easy-to-setup peer-to-peer connection method between the
Wi-Fi Direct certified printer and a mobile device that provides a secure
connection and better throughput than ad hoc mode.
With Wi-Fi Direct, you can connect your printer to a Wi-Fi Direct network while
concurrently connecting to an access point. You can also use a wired network
and a Wi-Fi Direct network simultaneously so multiple users can access and print
documents both from Wi-Fi Direct and from a wired network.
• You cannot connect your mobile device to the internet through the
printer's Wi-Fi Direct.
• The supported protocol list may differ from your model, Wi-Fi Direct
networks do NOT support IPv6, network filtering, IPSec, WINS, and SLP
services.
• The maximum number of devices that can be connected via Wi-Fi Direct
is 3.

Setting up Wi-Fi Direct

You can enable Wi-Fi Direct feature by one of the following methods.
From the USB cable-connected computer(recommended)
After the driver installation is complete, Samsung Easy Printer Manager can be
set and changes in the Wi-Fi Direct can be made.
Samsung Easy Printer Manager is Available for Windows
and Mac OS users only.
From the Start menu, select Programs or All Programs > Samsung Printers >
Samsung Easy Printer Manager > Device Settings > Network.
• Wi-Fi Direct On/Off: Select On to enable.
• Device Name: Enter the printer's name for searching for your printer on a
wireless network. By default, the device name is the model name.
• IP Address: Enter the IP address of the printer. This IP address is used only
for the local network and not for the infrastructure wired or wireless
network. We recommend using the default local IP address (the default local
IP address of the printer for Wi-Fi Direct is 192.168.3.1 )
• Group Owner: Activate this option to assign the printer the Wi-Fi Direct
group's owner. The Group Owner acts similar to a wireless access point. We
recommend activating this option.
• Network Password: If your printer is a Group Owner, a Network Password
is required for other mobile devices to connect to your printer. You can
configure a network password yourself, or can remember the given Network
Password that is randomly generated by default.
