Press the up arrow button.
Note: If you have already connected devices or computers to your product via Wi-Fi Direct, they will be disconnected when you change the password.
Enter a Wi-Fi Direct password using the numeric keypad.
Note: Your password must be at least 8 and no more than 22 characters long.

Press the OK button when you’re finished entering your password. You see this screen:
Press the OK button to view the SSID (Wi-Fi network name) and password.
Use your computer or wireless device to select the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) displayed on the LCD screen, and enter the password shown.
Press the OK button to return to the Home screen. You see the connection symbol on the LCD screen and should be able to print directly to your product from your computer or device.
