The SELPHY CP900 and Easy-PhotoPrint cannot be used together with an ad-hoc wireless connection when iOS 7 is the device operating system.
[Symptom]
The SELPHY CP900 is able to successfully connect to the Apple iOS 7 device using the ad-hoc setup method. However, Easy-PhotoPrint will be unable to detect the printer when setup this way.

[Cause]
As a result of some specification changes in iOS 7, an ad-hoc connection is not properly established with the SELPHY CP900 when there is no mobile data communication on the iOS device (iPad wi-fi only, iPod), or mobile data is turned off on that iOS device (iPhone and iPad 3G).
[Solution / Alternative]
- For iPhone and iPad w/3G - Enable mobile data communication on the iOS device.
- For iPod and iPad wi-fi only - You will need to connect using Infrastructure Mode. This will require an access point such as a wireless router.
Note: You may also choose to use Infrastructure Mode with iPhone and iPad w/3G.
