1. Start by going to the Settings on your mobile device.
2. Tap on Wi-Fi like before, and then look for the printer’s name.

Keep in mind that it will start with “DIRECT-xy,” where x and y are random letters or numbers.

2. The printer might have a password you need to enter. Make sure to type it in correctly to connect your device.

Once you’ve followed these steps, your mobile device should be successfully connected to the printer. You can now print documents, photos, or anything else you need.
