Introduction

Overview

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 (see Group Owner (G/O) on page 13).

• When your Brother machine is the G/O, your Brother machine supports one-to-one wireless

communication using Wi-Fi Direct.

• Ad-hoc mode and Wi-Fi Direct cannot be used at the same time. Disable one function to enable the other.

If you want to use Wi-Fi Direct while you are using Ad-hoc mode, set Network I/F to LAN or disable Ad-hoc

mode and connect your Brother machine to the access point.
