Using the NFC feature

The NFC (Near Field Communication) printer allows you to directly print/scan/fax from your mobile device just by holding your mobile device over the NFC tag on your printer. It does not require installing print driver or connecting to an access point. You just need NFC supported mobile device. In order to use this feature, Samsung Mobile Print app needs to be installed on your mobile device.

Depending on the material of the mobile device cover, NFC recognition may not work properly.
Depending on the mobile device you are using, the transmission speed may differ.
This feature is available only for the model with a NFC tag (see Machine overview).
Using a cover or a battery other than the ones that came with the mobile device, or a metal cover/sticker can block NFC.
If NFC devices keep failing to communicate, remove and reinstall the battery from the mobile device, then try again.
