Printing With Wi-Fi Direct™

This section provides information for Wi-Fi Direct printing. Wi-Fi Direct allows your Wi-Fi mobile devices such as

computers, smart phone, and tablets, to connect to the printer directly via a Wi-Fi network. With Wi-Fi Direct, you

can print documents, photos, or e-mail on your Wi-Fi mobile devices directly without a wireless access point.

NOTE:

Wi-Fi Direct is available when the optional wireless adapter is installed.

NOTE:

Wi-Fi Direct is available even if the printer is connected to your wireless network connection using the optional wireless

adapter.

NOTE:

Only printing function is available via the Wi-Fi Direct network.

NOTE:

The maximum number of devices that can be connected via the Wi-Fi Direct network is 1.

NOTE:

You cannot connect your mobile device to the internet via the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct network.

NOTE:

Depending on the device, the channel used to connect the device to the printer via Wi-Fi Direct may differ from the

channel used by the printer to connect to a network via Wi-Fi infrastructure mode. In such a case, simultaneous connection with

Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi infrastructure mode may not work properly.

NOTE:

The printer connected with Wi-Fi Direct supports the following protocols; LPD, Port9100, WSD (print), Bonjour (mDNS),

SNMPv1/v2c, Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool.
