A technician is setting up a new multifunction printer in an office's public reception area. The goal is to allow guests to print documents from their mobile devices without giving them access to the corporate wireless network. Which printer feature should the technician configure to achieve this?
Wi-Fi Direct is a feature that allows devices like smartphones and tablets to connect directly to the printer, creating a small, peer-to-peer network. This is the ideal solution for allowing guests in a reception area to print without needing credentials for the secure corporate network. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is for remote computer control, not direct printing from a mobile device in this manner. Infrared (IR) is an outdated, line-of-sight technology rarely used in modern printers. While some printers support Bluetooth printing, Wi-Fi Direct generally offers greater range and speed, making it the standard and more robust choice for this purpose.
