Supported operation environments
The following table shows the network environments supported by the 
machine:
USING A WIRED NETWORK
You must set up the network protocols on your printer to use it on your 
network.  This chapter will show you how this is easily accomplished.
Printing Configuration report
You can print a Network Configuration Report from the machines control 
panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help 
you to set up a network and troubleshooting problems.
To print the report, you need to press and hold Stop for about 5 
seconds.
Please review your machines Users Guide to learn of more details. Using 
this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine’s MAC 
address and IP address.
For example:
MAC Address     : 00:15:99:41:A2:78
IP Address         : 192.0.0.192
Setting IP address 
Firstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and 
managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically 
assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server) located 
on the network.
In a few situations the IP address must be set manually.  This is called a 
static IP and is often required in corporate Intranets for security reasons.•DHCP IP assignment:  Connect your machine to the network, and wait 
a few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the 
machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained 
above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the 
assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address on the 
report.  
•Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address 
from your computer.
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network 
administrator to set this address for you.
IP setting using the SetIP program
The following procedure is based on Windows XP. 
This program is for manually setting the network IP address of your 
machine using its MAC address to communicate with the machine. MAC 
address is a hardware serial number of the network interface and can be 
found in the Network Configuration Report.
Installing the program
1.Insert the Printer Software CD-ROM provided with your machine. 
When the driver CD runs automatically, close that window.
2.Start a web browser such as Internet Explorer and open the X drive. 
(X represents your CD-ROM drive.)
3.Double-click Application > SetIP.
4.Double-click Setup.exe to install this program.
5.Click OK. If necessary, select a language from the drop-down list.
6.Follow the instructions in the window and complete the installation.
Starting the program

							24 _Getting started
Before starting, please locate the USB cable and the Printer Software 
Installation CD-ROM provided with your machine (;printer).
You may need to contact a network administrator or the person who has set 
up your wireless network for information regarding the configuration.
Checking your network environments 
IP address
Every device in a network is identified by a unique numerical address 
called an IP Address. Your machine came with a default IP address of 
192.0.0.192, and you can verify this by printing out a Network 
Configuration Report. In most cases a new IP address will be 
automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration 
Protocol Server) located on the network. In a few situations the IP 
address must be set manually. This is called a static IP and is often 
required in corporate Intranets for security reasons. We have provided 
an easy to use utility program on the Printer Software CD-ROM named 
SetIP that can change the address for you. If your machine has a control 
panel, you may also change the IP address using the control panel. In 
an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network 
administrator to set this address for you.
Wireless Networks
• Infrastructure mode
An Infrastructure mode network is the most common wireless 
network configuration in a home or office consisting of a wireless 
router, or an access point, that connects all the computers and other 
networked devices into a common local area network (LAN).
The access point provides a special high speed connection to a 
Cable or DSL modem or other wide area network (WAN) device that 
connects the LAN to the Internet or a Corporate Intranet. Most 
Infrastructure mode networks use a DHCP Server to automatically 
assign the IP address and set other network parameters.
If you know that you are connecting to an Infrastructure mode 
network with an access point, you may proceed to the Wireless 
network setting in infrastructure mode part.
• Ad-hoc mode
An Ad-hoc mode network provides peer to peer communication. In 
an Ad-hoc mode network, wireless devices and computers 
communicate directly with each other, without using an access point. 
They can share files and machines, but may not be able to access 
the Internet. The machine receives print jobs from wireless 
computers directly.
If you know that you are connecting to an ad-hoc mode network 
without an access point, proceed to the Wireless network setting in 
Ad-hoc mode part.
Installing the printer on an Ad-Hoc wireless network
If you do not have a Access Point (AP), you may still connect the printer 
wirelessly to your computer by setting up an Ad-Hoc wireless network by 
following these simple directions. Locate the Printer Sotware installation 
CD-ROM supplied with the printer.

machine’s wireless network part after reviewing the following parts 
on printing a Network Configuration Report. 
•Ad-hoc mode : An Ad-hoc mode network provides peer to peer 
communication. In an Ad-hoc mode network, wireless devices and 
computers communicate directly with each other, without using an 
access point. They can share files and machines, but may not be 
able to access the Internet. The machine receives print jobs from 
wireless computers directly. 
If you know that you are connecting to an ad-hoc mode network without an 
access point, proceed to the Setting IP address part before going to 
Configuring the machine’s wireless network part after reviewing the 
following parts on printing a Network Configuration Report.
Printing Configuration report
You can print a Network Configuration Report from the machine’s control 
panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help 
you to set up a network and troubleshooting problems.
To print the report, you need to press and hold Stop for about 5 
seconds.
Please review your machines User’s Guide to learn of additional details. 
Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine MAC 
address and IP address.
For example:
MAC Address     : 00:15:99:41:A2:78
IP Address         : 192.0.0.192
Setting IP address
Firstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and 
managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically 
assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server) located 
on the network.
In a few situations the IP address must be set manually.  This is called a 
static IP and is often required in corporate Intranets for security reasons.
•DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a 
few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the 
machine. (If the access point has an available LAN port, you may 
connect your machine directly to the access point.) Then, print the 
Network Configuration Report as explained above. If the report shows 
that the IP address has changed, the assignment was successful. You 
will see the new IP address in the report. Leave the machine attached to 
the network.
•Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address 
from your computer. If your machine has a control panel, you can also 
change IP address using the machines control panel.
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network 
administrator to set this address for you.
IP setting using SetIP program
The following procedure is based on Windows XP. 
This program is for manually setting the network IP address of your 
machine using its MAC address to communicate with the machine. A 
MAC address is the hardware serial number of the network interface and 
can be found in the Network Configuration Report.
Installing the program
1.Insert the Printer Software CD-ROM provided with your machine. 
When the driver CD runs automatically, close that window.
2.Start a web browser such as Internet Explorer and open the X drive. 
(X represents your CD-ROM drive.)
3.Double-click Application > SetIP.
4.Double-click Setup.exe to install this program.
5.Click OK. If necessary, select a language from the drop-down list.
6.Follow the instructions in the window and complete the installation.

3.From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > Samsung 
Network Printer Utilities > SetIP > SetIP.
4.Click on the   icon (third from left) in the SetIP window to open the 
TCP/IP configuration window.
• You only need to run this program if your network requires a 
static IP address. Otherwise, you may proceed to the 
Configuring the machine’s wireless network part of this 
document. If you are unsure of this requirement ask the system 
administrator or the person who has set up your local network.
• You can only use the SetIP program when your machine is 
connected to a network or directly connected to a PC with the 
crossover network cable included with your machine.  In most 
cases we recommend using the crossover cable. You will be 
asked to connect this cable in a moment.
