• If the IP address assigned to the product is 169.254.XXX.XXX and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0,
the IP address may not be assigned correctly. Check the IP address and the subnet mask assigned to
the product. Restart the wireless router or reset the network settings for the product.
• If you cannot connect your product to a device using Wi-Fi Direct, you may have exceeded the
maximum number of devices connected to your product (8). Print a network status sheet or access
Web Config on the browser for your device and check the number of connected devices. If 8 devices
are already connected, disconnect a device by deleting the product's SSID from the Wi-Fi screen of
that device. If fewer than 8 devices are connected, check the accuracy of your other network settings,
move your device closer to your product, and try connecting again.
• If you are using a Wi-Fi Direct connection that suddenly disconnects, the Wi-Fi Direct password on
your device may have been changed. If necessary, delete the existing
DIRECT-xxxxxxxx
connection
settings from your device and enter a new password. See your device documentation for instructions.
