The initial phase of the setup involves distinguishing between the two primary Wi-Fi operational modes of the XP-420B: and AP Mode (Access Point) . For most users, Station Mode is the goal, as it connects the printer directly to an existing local router, allowing every device on the same network to print. Conversely, AP Mode is a temporary state where the printer creates its own unsecured network (e.g., "XP-420B_XXXX") for direct phone-to-printer connections. To begin the Station Mode setup, the user must first power on the printer and hold the feed button while inserting the USB cable (connected to a Windows PC) to enter "Wi-Fi Configuration Mode." Without this specific sequence, the printer will default to USB-only operation. Look no further
