    							Wireless network setup
    1892.  Using a Network-Connected Machine
     
    If the printing job is not working in DHCP mode, the problem may be caused 
    by the automatically changed IP address. Compare the IP address between 
    the product's IP address and the printer port's IP address.
    How to compare:
    1  Print the network information report of  your printer, and then check the 
    IP address (see "Printing a network configuration report" on page 148).
    2  Check the printer port's IP address from your computer.
    a  Click the Windows  Start menu. 
    • For Windows 8, from  Charms, select Search > Settings .
    b  For Windows XP/Server 2003, select  Printer and Faxes. 
    • For Windows Server 2008/Vista, select  Control Panel > Hardware

    1902.  Using a Network-Connected Machine
    Other problems
    If problems occur while using the machine on a network, check the following: 
     
    For information on the access point (or wireless router), refer to its own 
    user's guide. 
     
    • You cannot enable wired and wireless networks at the same time.
    • Your computer, access point (or wi reless router), or machine may not be 
    turned on.
    • Check the wireless reception around the  machine. If the router is far from 
    the machine or there is an obstacle,  you might have difficulty receiving the 
    signal. 
    • Cycle the power for the access poin t (or wireless router), machine, and 
    computer. Sometimes cycling th e power can recover network 
    communication.
    • Check whether firewall software  (V3 or Norton) is blocking the 
    communication. 
    If the computer and the  machine are connected on  the same network and it 
    cannot be found when searching, fir ewall software might be blocking the 
    communication. Refer to the  user's guide for the software to turn it off and 
    try searching for the machine again.
    • Check whether the machin e's IP address is allocated correctly. You can 
    check the IP address by printing  the network configuration report. • Check whether the access point (or
     wireless router) has a configured 
    security (password). If it has a password,  refer to the access point (or wireless 
    router) administrator.
    • Check the machine's IP address. Reinsta ll the machine driver and change the 
    settings to connect to the mach ine on the network. Due to the 
    characteristics of  DHCP, the alloca ted IP address could change if the 
    machine is not used for  a long time or if the access point has been reset.
    Register the product's MAC  address when you configure the DHCP server on 
    the access point (or wireless router). Then you can always use the IP address 
    that is set with the MAC address. Yo u can identify the Mac address of your 
    machine by printing a ne twork configuration report  (see "Printing a network 
    configuration report" on page 148).
    • Check the wireless environment. You mi ght not be able to connect to the 
    network in the infrastructure enviro nment where you need to type in a 
    user's information before connecting to  the access point (or wireless router).
    • This machine only supports IEEE 802 .11 b/g/n and Wi-Fi. Other wireless 
    communication types (e.g., Bluetooth) are not supported.
    • When using the ad hoc mode, in ope rating systems such as Windows Vista, 
    you might need to set the wireless connection setting every time you use 
    the wireless machine. 
    • You cannot use infrastructure mode and ad  hoc mode at the same time for 
    Samsung wireless  network machines.
    • The machine is within the  range of the wireless network.
