Setting the Wi-Fi Direct for mobile printing
Wi-Fi Direct is an easy-to-setup peer-to-peer connection method between the Wi-Fi Direct
certified printer and a mobile device that provides a secure connection and better
throughput than ad hoc mode.
With Wi-Fi Direct, you can connect your printer to a Wi-Fi Direct network while
concurrently connecting to an access point. You can also use a wired network and a Wi-Fi
Direct network simultaneously so multiple users can access and print documents both from
Wi-Fi Direct and from a wired network.
•
You cannot connect your mobile device to the internet through the printer’s
Wi-Fi Direct.
•
The supported protocol list may differ from your model, Wi-Fi Direct networks
do NOT support IPv6, network filtering, IPSec, WINS, and SLP services.
•
The maximum number of devices that can be connected via Wi-Fi Direct is 3.
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, Dell Printer Manager can be set and changes in the
Wi-Fi Direct can be made.
NOTE:
Dell Printer Manager is Available for Windows and Mac OS users only.

Device Name

network. By default, the device name is the model name.
•
IP Address

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

owner. The
Group Owner

activating this option.
•
Network Password

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
