There are two methods for connecting the printer to your device (such as a smartphone). One method is
to connect using an access point, and the other method is to connect without using an access point.
The two connection methods cannot be used at the same time.
If you have an access point (or wireless network router), it is recommended that you use the method
described in Connection Using an Access Point.
When connecting another device while a device is already connected to the printer, connect it using the same connection method as the connected device.
If you connect using a different connection method, the connection to the device in use will be disabled.
