 a Wi-Fi Direct connection (only)

 a Wi-Fi connection (router)

 Image both a Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct connection


To determine whether the connection between the printer and device is Wi-Fi with a router or Wi-Fi Direct:

  1. Select Network Settings > View [or Print, depending on your preference] Network Configuration to obtain information, such as the SSID (network name) your printer is connected to or the Wi-Fi Direct SSID and security string.
  2. On the connected computer or mobile device, determine the network SSID that the device is connected to.
  3. Compare the network SSID of the device with the SSID of the printer.
    • If the SSID of the device is the same as the SSID for Wi-Fi Direct, the connection is Wi-Fi Direct.
    • If the SSID of the device is the SSID for the Wi-Fi network, the connection between the device and the printer is Wi-Fi with a router.
