Near field communication (NFC) is a technology that enables devices to
communicate when they are in close range. NFC allows you to add a printer to your
Android mobile device easily. After you add the printer, there is no need to use NFC
on that printer. You can use NFC to obtain the network interface to establish a TCP/IP
connection between your device and the printer.
Devices can communicate using NFC when they are within the following ranges:
• Device with case: 17–20 mm (0.7 x 0.8 in.)
• Device without case: 20–25 mm (0.8 x 1 in.)
Note: The range can vary depending on the device manufacturer. For information about the
required settings for individual mobile devices, refer the documentation supplied by the
manufacturer of your mobile device.
For details about configuring NFC on your printer, refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.
