    摘要: A multi-function printer (MFP) supporting Wi-Fi Direct includes a print engine to perform a print operation, a first wireless interface to connect the MFP to an access point (AP) of an infrastructured network, a second wireless interface to Wi-Fi Direct connect the MFP to an external wireless terminal, a soft AP to allow the MFP to perform as an AP when the MFP is Wi-Fi Direct connected, a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server unit to allocate an internet protocol (IP) address to the wireless device that is Wi-Fi Direct connected to the MFP, a Wi-Fi Direct connection manager to manage the Wi-Fi Direct connection, and an automatic group owner (AGO) manager activate Wi-Fi Direct so as to drive the soft AP and operate the MFP as a group owner (GO) when the MFP receives a Wi-Fi Direct activation request.
