can connect the devices to the printer without having to use a standard wireless router. However, devices directly
connected to the printer cannot communicate with each other through the printer.
The printer can be connected by Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection simultaneously.
However, if you start a network connection in Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection when the printer is connected
by Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi is temporarily disconnected.
Connecting to Devices using Wi-Fi Direct
This method allows you to connect the printer directly to devices without a wireless router.
Note:
For iOS or Android users, it is convenient to set up from Epson Smart Panel.
You only need to make these settings for the printer and the device that you want to connect to once. Unless you disable Wi-
Fi Direct or restore the network settings to their defaults, you do not need to make these settings again.
