How do I connect my computer to the printer using the Wireless Direct mode?

  2. When the dialogue box for selecting the connection method is displayed after the printer driver installation starts, select [Local Connection (USB)].
    Click [Next], and then follow the installer instructions.

  3. When the installation is finished, press and hold the Feed button ( Feed ) for five seconds to enable the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi function of the printer.

  4. 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.

    • The factory setting for the SSID is "DIRECT-[the last five digits of the product serial number]_[model name]".
    • If you are prompted to enter a password, enter the password (Network Key) you confirmed in step 4.
    • For Windows 10 or later, check [Connect automatically].
    • It may take several minutes until the connection is finished.

  6. Start the Printer Setting Tool on your computer again, and click [Communication Settings].
    Confirm the IP address in [Current Status] in the [Wireless Direct] tab.

  7. Open the [Devices and Printers] window. (For more information about opening the window, click here.)
    Click [Add a printer].

    Click [The printer that I want isn't listed] on the bottom of the window instead of selecting the displayed printer icon for your model.

  8. Select [Create a new port] - [Standard TCP/IP Port], and then click [Next].

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