If you want to 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 printer software must be installed on the computer.
1. Make sure that Wi-Fi Direct on your printer is turned on:
a. From the Home screen on the printer display, touch
b. If Status is Off, touch
2. Connect your wireless enabled device to your printer:
a. Turn on the Wi-Fi connection on your mobile device. For more information, see the documentation provided
with the mobile device.
b. From the mobil e device, connect to a new network. Use the process you normally use to connect to a new
wireless network or hotspot. Choose the Wi-Fi Direct name from the list of wireless networks shown such as
DIRECT-**-HP ENVY-5640 or DIRECT-**-HP ENVY-5660 (where ** are the unique characters to identify your
printer).
c. Enter the Wi-Fi Direct password when prompted.
3. Print as you normally do from your computer or mobile device.
Note: Wi-Fi Direct connection does not provide Internet access.
Visit the HP Wireless Printing Center at www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting for more information about Wi-Fi
Direct.
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; this 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.
