This product is designed for use in open environments (for example, in homes and not connected to the public
Internet) in which anyone might access and use the printer. As a result, the Wi-Fi Direct setting is in "Automatic"
mode by default, without an administrator password, which 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
