Connect wirelessly to the printer without a router
HP wireless direct allows your Wi-Fi devices such as computers, smart phones, and tablets, to
connect to your printer directly through Wi-Fi, using the process you currently use to connect your Wi-
Fi device to new wireless networks and hotspots. With wireless direct, you can print directly to the
printer wirelessly, without a wireless router, from your Wi-Fi enabled devices.
To connect wirelessly to the printer without a router
1. From the Home screen on the printer display, select Wireless Direct, and then press OK.
2. In the Wireless Direct menu, select Wireless Direct, and then press OK.
3. Using the buttons to the right, select On without Security, and then press OK.
TIP: If you would like to use HP wireless direct with greater security and if the computer or
mobile device supports WPA2 encryption, select the option that will enable security. With
security enabled, only users with the password can connect wirelessly to the printer. Without
enabling security, anyone with a wireless device within the wireless range of the printer can
connect to the printer.
4. Press the button next to Display Name to display the wireless direct name.
5. If you have enabled security, press the button next to Display Password to display the wireless
direct password.
TIP: You can also turn on HP wireless direct from the embedded web server (EWS). For more
information about using the EWS, see To open the embedded Web server on page 83 .
6. After connecting to wireless direct, you need to install the printer software if you use a desktop
computer or laptop. If you use a mobile device, you need to install a compatible app on your
mobile device. You can start to use the printer over wireless direct if you have already installed
the printer over a network.
