While in Direct Connection, you may not be able to connect to the Internet depending on your mobile device.
Direct Connection is only possible as a one-to-one connection between the machine and a single mobile device. You cannot connect 2 or more mobile devices to the machine at a time.
If wireless connection from the mobile device is not performed within 5 minutes while the SSID and network key are displayed, the connection waiting state terminates.
If while in communication by Direct Connection, a duration when there is no data transmission between the machine and the mobile device lasts for some time, the communication may terminate.
The machine's SSID and network key are changed each time the Direct Connection procedure is started.
While in Direct Connection, sleep mode is not as effective at saving power.
When both <Enable Direct Connection> and <Enable NFC> are set to <On>, sleep mode is not as effective at saving power even if not in Direct Connection.
If you use the direct connection, do not set the IP address manually on the mobile device. Doing so may prevent proper communication after using the direct connection.
