Welcome. Today we are going to learn how to connect your HL-L5200DW color laser printer to a mobile device using Wi-Fi direct.

This video will cover multiple models. Even though your machine may not match the model referred to on the screen the overall process will be the same. (Covers HL-L5200DWT set up too.)

Wi-Fi Direct is a secure wireless interface that allows you to connect your Brother machine to a mobile device without using a router. After the connection process is finished, you will need to go to either the App Store or Play Store and download the Brother iPrint&Scan application in order to print from your mobile device.

To begin, press the down arrow on the control panel repeatedly until the “Network” option is displayed. Then press “OK.”

Arrow down again until “Wi-Fi Direct” is displayed. Then press “OK.”

Arrow down to the “Manual” option… and again press “OK”

If you are prompted to activate Wi-Fi Direct, press the up arrow

The network name and password for the direct connection will display for two minutes.

On your mobile device, check for available connections. Select the network displayed on your Brother machine.

When prompted, enter the network password displayed on your Brother machine into your phone.
