Ways to connect wirelessly

There are several ways to connect wirelessly from the mobile device to the printer depending on the printer capability and printer location.

Wireless connectivity
Icon	Description (of the connection type)
	Wi-Fi - Use the Wi-Fi capability on the laptop, phone, or tablet to print to a nearby printer connected to the same wireless network.
	Wireless Direct or Wi-Fi Direct - Use to connect directly to the nearby printer as you would to a Wi-Fi network.⁷
	Cloud / Internet (wireless connection via a different subnet) - Use to print to a printer on a different network or to a printer in a remote location.⁶ Some sample scenarios include: A nearby printer when the mobile device is only connected using the phone/tablet network A nearby printer when the mobile device is not connected to a local Wi-Fi or Wireless Direct network A remote printer in another location via a cloud connection A nearby or remote printer on a different network (different subnet)
	Near Field Communication (NFC) - Connect directly to the printer as you would to a Wi-Fi network using a phone or tablet. Discover and print by bringing the two NFC zones together. The printer must be NFC-capable and configured to print using NFC, and the NFC feature must be turned ON on the phone or tablet.
