- 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.
