Abstract:
Provided is a multi-function printer (MFP) supporting Wi-Fi Direct. The MFP includes a print engine to perform a printing operation, a first wireless interface to connect the MFP to an access point (AP) of an infrastructured network, a second wireless interface to connect the MFP to an external wireless terminal in a Wi-Fi Direct, a soft AP to allow the MFP to perform as an AP when the MFP is Wi-Fi Direct connected, and a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server unit allocating an internet protocol (IP) address to the wireless device that is Wi-Fi Direct connected to the MFP, where the MFP is simultaneously connected to an AP of the infrastructured network and an external wireless terminal via the first wireless interface and the second wireless interface by using one channel.
