Wireless setup troubleshooting (continued)
Use the printer wirelessly without a router
Use Wi-Fi Direct to print wirelessly without a router, from your computer, smartphone, or other wireless enabled
device. To use Wi-Fi Direct from a computer, the HP printer software must be installed on the computer.
• To check the status of Wi-Fi Direct, as well as the Wi-Fi Direct network name and password, from the printer
control panel display, touch
• To learn about how to print with Wi-Fi Direct, visit the Wi-Fi Direct Printing website at
www.hp.com/go/wifidirectprinting.
Note: Wi-Fi Direct connection does not provide Internet access.
This product is designed for use in open environments (e.g., in homes and not connected to the public Internet) in
which anyone may access and use the printer. As a result, the Wi-Fi Direct setting is in "Automatic" mode by default,
without an administrator password, which allows anyone in wireless range to connect and access all functions and
settings of the printer. If higher security levels are desired, HP recommends changing the Wi-Fi Direct Connection
Method from "Automatic" to "Manual" and establishing an administrator password. You can change the security
settings from the embedded web server (EWS). For help on EWS, refer to the user guide on
www.hp.com/support/djia5200 or the electronic Help.
Basic troubleshooting
• Make sure the power cord connections are secure and the printer is powered on. The Power button is lit when
the printer is powered on.
• Make sure you have installed the latest HP mobile app or printer software from 123.hp.com.
• If your computer is connected to the printer with a USB cable, make sure the USB connections are secure. If your
computer is connected to the printer with a wireless connection, confirm that the wireless connection is working.
• Visit the HP Diagnostic Tools website at www.hp.com/go/tools to download free diagnostic utilities (tools) that
you can use to fix common printer problems.
