Wi-Fi Direct Connection
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.
Simple AP Mode
The printer is connected in Simple AP mode when you set up using Wi-Fi Direct Setup if Wi-Fi settings for the
printer have not been not made. In this mode, the printer acts as an access point and you can connect up to four
devices to the printer without having to use a standard access point. However, devices directly connected to the
printer cannot communicate with each other through the printer.
The printer can be connected in Ethernet and Simple AP mode simultaneously.

Wi-Fi Direct Mode
The printer is connected in Wi-Fi Direct mode when you set up using Wi-Fi Direct Setup if Wi-Fi settings for the
printer have been made. The connection method varies depending on the device that connects to the printer, such
as iOS devices, devices that support Wi-Fi Direct, and so on.
Note:
❏ Only one device can connect to the printer in Wi-Fi Direct mode.
❏ Since Wi-Fi Direct mode is a temporary connection method, we recommend connecting by Wi-Fi if you want to use the
device continuously.
