Setting Network Protocols
When you first install the printer, all supported network 
protocols are enabled when you turn the printer on. If a network 
protocol is enabled, the printer may actively transmit on the 
network even when the protocol is not in use. This may increase 
network traffic slightly. To eliminate unnecessary traffic, you can 
disable unused protocols.

Configuring TCP/IP
Your printer can be set up on a variety of TCP/IP networks. There 
are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a TCP/IP 
address, depending on your network.
• Static Addressing: TCP/IP address is assigned manually by 
the system administrator.
• Dynamic Addressing BOOTP/DHCP(default): TCP/IP address 
is assigned automatically by the server.
Static Addressing
To enter the TCP/IP address from your printer’s control panel, 
take the following steps: 
1In ready mode press the Menu button ( ) until you see 
‘Network’ on the bottom line of the display. Press the Enter 
button ( ) to access the menu.
2Press the Enter button ( ) when ‘Config Network’ displays 
on the bottom line.

Configuring IPX Frame Types
On IPX/SPX protocol networks (for example, Novell NetWare), 
the format of the network communication frames must be 
specified for the printer. In most cases, you can keep the ‘Auto’ 
default setting. However, you can manually set the frame type 
format, if required.
•Auto (default): Automatically senses and limits the frame 
type to the first one detected.
•EN_8023: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3 
frames. All others will be discarded.
•EN_II: Limits the frame type to IPX over Ethernet Frames. 
All others will be discarded.
•EN_8022: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2 with 
IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.
•EN_SNAP: Limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with IEEE 
802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.
Note that the IPX/SPX protocol must be enabled in the Netware 
menu before you can configure frame types. See “Setting 
Network Protocols” on page E.7.

You can configure the following items:
•SSID: When you select 'Search List', the wireless network 
card on your printer searches for wireless networks in the 
area and displays the results on a list. Select one from the 
list. You cannot change ‘Operation Mode’ and ‘Channel’. If you 
select ‘Custom’ from the list, you can configure the wireless 
settings according to your needs and enter a name of up to 
32 letters for your ‘Custom’ setting. ‘SSID’ is case sensitive, 
so you need to change it carefully. Using the Scroll buttons, 
find the alphabet you want and press the Enter button ( ) . 
When the cursor moves to the next input field, enter the next 
letters the same as you entered the first letter. After you 
entered the last letter of the name, press the Enter button 
( ) once again to save the ID. The way to enter the key 
number for the encryption key is the same as entering 
letters.
•Operation Mode: ‘Ad-hoc’ mode allows the wireless devices 
to communicate directly with each other. This is the default 
operating mode for the print server. 
If your network uses an Access Point, you must reconfigure 
the operation mode to ‘InfraStructure’. ‘InfraStructure’ mode 
allows both wireless and cabled computers to send files to the 
printer through an Access Point. 
If you select ‘Auto’, the print server selects the operation mode 
automatically according to the network cable’s connection 
each time it boots up. If a network cable is detected, the print 
server enters ‘Ad-hoc’ mode; if not, it enters ‘InfraStructure’ 
mode.
•Channel: This option is available in the ‘Ad-hoc’ mode only.  
In most cases, you will not need to change this setting. The 
print server will scan all available channels for the specified 
network and will adapt its channel to the one detected. 
Default setting is 10.
•Authentication: ‘Open System’ or ‘Shared Key’. The 
Samsung print server is not configured for network 
authentication (Open System). If required by your network, 
the proper authentication method must be configured on the 
print server. 
•Encryption: No data Encryption, 64 bits, or 128 bits. Default 
setting is No data Encryption. If your network uses WEP 
encryption keys, you must configure the encryption keys. You 
can configure up to four keys. The active key must match the 
value and active key position (for example, Key 1) configured 
on other wireless devices.
- Using Key: Select the key to use in your network.

- Key Type: Select the key type of your network.

							INSTALLING PRINTER OPTIONSF.2
Installing Printer Memory
Your printer has the dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot. 
Use this DIMM slot to install more memory for the printer.
Note: Your printer has 64 MB (128 MB for the CLP-550N) of 
memory which can be expanded to 320 MB (384 MB for the 
CLP-550N). Use only a Samsung-approved DIMM, part number 
ML-00MC (64 MB), ML-00MD (128 MB), or ML-00ME (256 MB). 
Contact your Samsung dealer.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage DIMMs. When handling a 
DIMM, either wear an antistatic wrist strap, or frequently touch the 
surface of the DIMM antistatic package and then touch bare metal 
on the printer.
1Turn the printer off and unplug all cables from the printer.
2To remove the control board cover, press down on the tabs 
at the top and take it off.
