    Enabling the NFC function of this machine

    NFC is the standard for near-field communication that is used for connection between handheld terminals or other devices several tens of centimeters away each other.

    Configure a setting to support NFC on this machine. You can just place the Android terminal on the Mobile Touch Area of this machine and connect the Android terminal to this machine.

    Select [System Settings] - [System Connection Setting] - [Mobile Connection Settings] in administrator mode of Web Connection (or in [Utility] - [Administrator] of this machine), and configure the following settings.
