Wi-Fi Direct

is one of the wireless configuration methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance

. It allows you to

configure a secured wireless network between your Brother machine and a mobile device, such as an

Android™ device, Windows

Phone device, iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, without using an access point. Wi-Fi

Direct

supports wireless network configuration using the one-push method or PIN Method of Wi-Fi

Protected Setup™ (WPS). You can also configure a wireless network by manually setting an SSID and

password. Your Brother machine’s Wi-Fi Direct

feature supports WPA2™ security with AES encryption.

2 Your Brother machine

NOTE

• Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection

method can be used at a time. However, a wireless network connection and Wi-Fi Direct

connection, or

a wired network connection and Wi-Fi Direct

connection can be used at the same time.

• The Wi-Fi Direct

-supported device can become a Group Owner (G/O). When configuring the Wi-Fi

Direct

network, the G/O serves as an access point.

• Ad-hoc mode and Wi-Fi Direct

cannot be used at the same time. Disable one function to enable the other.

To use Wi-Fi Direct

while you are using Ad-hoc mode, set Network I/F to “Wired LAN” or disable Ad-hoc

mode and connect your Brother machine to the access point.
