CONNECTING WITH WI-FI DIRECT
You can connect to your printer from any Wi-Fi-enabled mobile device, such as a tablet, computer, or smart phone,
using Wi-Fi Direct or Soft AP features. The Wi-Fi Direct feature is disabled by default on the Xerox device.
Note: The Wi-Fi Direct feature is available only on printers with the optional Wireless Network Adapter
installed. After you install the Wireless Network Adapter, the Wi-Fi Direct feature is enabled by default.
Wi-Fi Direct Overview
The Wi-Fi Direct feature allows you to print from a mobile device to your printer, using one of the following
methods.
• WPS push button, for Wi-Fi Direct-enabled Android devices with the Mopria print plug-in installed.
• Soft Access Point (AP), for Apple iPhones and other mobile devices that do not support the Wi-Fi Direct function.
For information about using the Wi-Fi Direct feature on your mobile device, or connecting to the printer using the
Soft AP feature, refer the mobile device documentation from the manufacturer.
For information about configuring the Wi-Fi Direct feature on your printer, refer to the System Administrator Guide
