The HP 1200w Accessory adds NFC, HP wireless direct, and wireless network (Wi-Fi or WLAN) printing capability to many HP printers. HP wireless direct printing allows you to print from a wireless mobile device directly to an HP wireless direct-enabled printer without requiring a connection to a network or the Internet.

Using HP NFC, print documents and images from a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet, just by touching it to the HP 1200w Accessory's NFC antenna.
In addition, you can use the HP 1200w Accessory in WLAN network printing mode by connecting it to an existing wireless network like other wireless devices such as computers. Each wireless device on the network communicates through a wireless router.
