Enabling Wi-Fi Direct Mode

You can enable Wi-Fi Direct mode to allow direct communication between your product and computer or other devices without a wireless router or access point.
Note: This setting can be locked by an administrator. If you cannot access or change this setting, contact your administrator for assistance.
  1. Press the  home button, if necessary.
  2. Select the network icon.
    Note: Icon may look different depending on connection status.
  3. Select Wi-Fi Direct > Start Setup > Connect to Computer > Start Setup.
    Wi-Fi Direct is enabled, and the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password are displayed.
    Note: If Wi-Fi Direct is already enabled, the network name (SSID), password, number of connected devices, and general procedures for setting up other devices are displayed.
  4. Use your computer or wireless device to select the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) displayed on the LCD screen, then enter the password shown.
  5. When a connection is established, select Complete to finish.
  6. Select Close on the LCD screen to close the network connection settings screen or press the  home button to exit.
    You see the Wi-Fi Direct icon on the LCD screen. You should be able to connect to your product directly from your computer or device, and then print. If you are printing from a computer, make sure you installed the network software from the Epson website.
    Note: If you don't see the Wi-Fi Direct icon on the LCD screen, you may have selected the wrong network name or entered the password incorrectly. Repeat these steps to try again.
Any connected devices will be disconnected when you turn off the printer. To reconnect after turning the printer back on, repeat these steps.
