Overview 1
Wi-Fi Direct™ is one of the wireless configuration methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance
®
. It allows you to
configure a secured wireless network between your Brother machine and a mobile device, such as an
Android™ device, Windows
®
Phone device, iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, without using an access point. Wi-Fi
Direct supports wireless network configuration using the one push or PIN Method of WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup™). You can also configure a wireless network by manually setting an SSID and password. Your
Brother machine's Wi-Fi Direct feature supports WPA2™ security with AES encryption.

NOTE
Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time. However, a wireless network connection and Wi-Fi Direct connection, or a
wired network connection and Wi-Fi Direct connection can be used at the same time.
The Wi-Fi Direct supported device can become a Group Owner (G/O). When configuring the Wi-Fi Direct
network, the Group Owner (G/O) serves as an access point. See Group Owner (G/O) on page 20.
When your Brother machine is the Group Owner (G/O), your Brother machine supports one to one wireless
communication using Wi-Fi Direct.
Ad-hoc mode and Wi-Fi Direct cannot be used at the same time. Disable one function to enable the other.
If you want to use Wi-Fi Direct while you are using Ad-hoc mode, set Network I/F to Wired LAN or disable
Ad-hoc mode and connect your Brother machine to the access point.
