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.Computers or mobile devices that do not support Wi-Fi Direct: From the mobile device, connect to a new network. Use the process you normally use to connect to a new wireless network or hotspot.

Touch (Wi-Fi Direct) on the printer display to find the WPA2 password. - Print as you normally do from your computer or mobile device.
