Change the settings of the printer.
Start the Printer Setting Tool on your computer, and click [Communication Settings]. Confirm the SSID (Network Name) and password (Network Key) in the [Wireless Direct] tab, and then select [Wireless Direct] for [Selected Interface] in [Communication Settings] in the [General] tab.
-
From your computer, select the SSID you confirmed in step 4 and connect to the printer.
- The factory setting for the SSID is "DIRECT-[the last five digits of the product serial number]_[model name]".

- Enter the IP address you confirmed in step 6, and then click [Next]. The computer will start searching for the TCP/IP port.
