Setting a wireless network with network cable
Your machine is a network compatible machine. To enable your machine to 
work with your network you will need to perform some configuration 
procedures.
 •After compleleting the wireless network connection, you need to 
install a machine driver to print from an application (See  Installing 
network connected machine’s driver on page  37 ).
• See your network admin
 istrator, or the person that set up your 
wireless network, for information  about your network configuration.
Preparing items
Ensure you have following items ready:
•Ac
cess point
•Network-conn
 ected computer
• Softwa
re CD that was provided with your machine
•The
 machine installed with a wireless network interface
•Network cable
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 i

s often required in co rporate 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 in 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 
a
 dministrator to set this address for you.
Printing a network configuration report
You can identify the network settings  of your machine by printing a 
network configuration report.
To print the report:
In ready mode, press and hold the  Ca
 ncel () button for about 5 
seconds. You can find your machine’s MAC address and IP address.

•The configured network address is unable to connect between your 
computer and machine.
-For a DHCP network environment
The print receives the IP address automatically (DHCP) when 
computer is configured to DHCP.
-For a Static network environment
The machine uses the static address when the computer is 
configured to static address.
For example:
If computer’s network information is as shown below:
-IP address: 169.254.133.42
-Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Then, the machine’s network information should be as below:
-IP address: 169.254.133. 43
-Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet mask.)
-Gateway: 169.254.133.1
Solving 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 users guide. 
•Your computer, access point (or wireless router), or machine may not be 
turned on.
•Check the wireless reception around the machine. If the reception is far 
from the machine or there is an obstacle, you might have difficulty 
receiving the signal. 
•Cycle the power for the access point (or wireless router), machine, and 
computer. Sometimes cycling the power can recover network 
communication.
•Check whether firewall software (V3 or Norton) is blocking the 
communication. 
If the computer and the machine is connected on the same network and 
it cannot be searched, firewall software might be blocking the 
communication. Refer to the users guide for the software to turn it off 
and try searching for the machine again.
•Check whether the machines 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 whether the machines IP address. Reinstall the machine driver 
and change the settings to connect to the machine on the network. Due 
to the characteristics of DHCP, the allocated IP address could change if 
the machine is not used for a long time or if the access point has been 
reset.
•Check the wireless environment. You might not be able to connect to the 
network in the infrastructure environment where you need to type in a 
users information before connecting to access point (or wireless router).
•This machine only supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and Wi-Fi. Other wireless 
communication (Bluetooth) is not supported.
•When using the Ad-hoc mode, for operating 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.
•The machine is located away from obstacles that could block the 
wireless signal.
Remove any large metal objects between the access point (or wireless 
router) and the machine.
Make sure the machine and wireless access point (or wireless router) 
are not separated by poles, walls, or support columns containing metal 
or concrete.
•The machine is located away from other electronic devices that may 
interfere with the wireless signal.
Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal, including a 
microwave oven and some Bluetooth devices.
