printer on a wireless network. By default, the device name is the
model name.

used only for the local network and not for the infrastructure wired
or wireless network. We recommend using the default local IP
address (the default local IP address of the printer for Wi-Fi Direct is
192.168.3.1 )
Group Owner
: Activate this option to assign the printer the Wi-Fi
Direct group’s owner. The
Group Owner
acts similar to a wireless
access point. We recommend activating this option.
Network Key
: If your printer is a
Group Owner

Network Key
is
required for other mobile devices to connect to your printer. You
can configure a network key yourself, or can remember the given
Network Key that is randomly generated by default.
