2. Using a Network-connected Machine
Setting up Wi-Fi Direct
You can enable Wi-Fi Direct feature by one of the following methods.
From the USB cable-connected computer(recommended)
• After the driver installation is complete, Samsung Easy Printer Manager can
be set and changes in the Wi-Fi Direct can be made.
Samsung Easy Printer Manager is Available for Windowsand Mac OS users
only.
- From the Start menu, select Programs or All Programs > Samsung
Printers > Samsung Easy Printer Manager > Device Settings >
Network.
▪ 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.
Setting up the mobile device
• After setting up Wi-Fi Direct from the printer, refer to the user manual of the
mobile device you are using to set its Wi-Fi Direct.
• After setting up Wi-Fi Direct, you need to download the mobile printing
application (For example: Samsung Mobile printer) to print from your
smartphone.
• When you have found the printer you want to connect to from your
mobile device, select the printer and the printer's LED will blink. Press the
WPS button on the printer and it will be connected to your mobile
device.
• If your mobile device does not support WPS, you need to enter the
"Network Password" of a printer instead of pushing the WPS button.
