Configuring the machine’s wireless network
Before starting you will need to know the network name (SSID) of 
your wireless network and the network key if it is encrypted. This 
information was set when the access point (or wireless router) was 
installed. If you do not know about your wireless environment, 
please ask the person who set up your network.
To configure wireless parameters, you can use SyncThru™ Web 
Service.
Using SyncThru™ Web Service
Before starting wireless parameter configuration, check the cable 
connection status. 
1Check whether or not the network cable is connected to the 
machine. If not, connect the machine with a standard network 
cable.
2 Start a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Safari or Firefox 
and enter your machine’s new IP address in the browser 
window.
For example,
3 Click Login on the upper right of the SyncThru™ Web Service 
website.
4 Type in the ID and Password then click Login.
•ID: admin 
•Password: sec00000 
5 When the SyncThru™ Web Service window opens, click 
Network Settings.
6 Click Wireless > Wizard.
 
Wizard will help you setup the wireless network 
configuration. However, if you want to set the wireless 
network directly, select Custom.

7 Select the one Network Name(SSID) in the list.
•SSID: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a 
wireless network, access points, and wireless devices 
attempting to connect to a specific wireless network must 
use the same SSID. The SSID is case-sensitive.
•Operation Mode: Operation Mode refers to the type of 
wireless connections (See "Wireless network name and 
network key" on page 30).
-Ad-hoc: Allows wireless devices to communicate 
directly with each other in a peer-to-peer environment.
-Infrastructure: Allows wireless devices to 
communicate with each other through an access point.
 
If your network’s Operation Mode is Infrastructure, select 
the SSID of the access point. If the Operation Mode is Ad-
hoc, select the machine’s SSID. Note that “portthru” is the 
default SSID of your machine.
 
8 Click Next.
If the wireless security setting window appears, enter the 
registered password (network key) and click Next.
9 The confirmation window appears, please check your wireless 
setup. If the setup is right, click Apply.
 
Disconnect the network cable (standard or network). Your 
machine should then start communicating wirelessly with 
the network. In case of Ad-hoc mode, you can use a wireless 
LAN and wired LAN simultaneously.

Turning the Wi-Fi network on/off
 
You can also turn on/off the Wi-Fi from the machine’s control 
panel using the Network menu.

►Connecting Failure - Invalid Security
• You configured security incorrectly. Check the configured 
security on your access point and machine.
►Connecting Failure - General Connection Error
• Your computer is not receiving a signal from your machine. 
Check the USB cable and your machine’s power.
►Connecting Failure - Connected Wired Network
• Your machine is connected with a wired network cable. Remove 
the wired network cable from your machine.
►PC Connection Error
• The configured network address is unable to connect between 
your computer and machine.
- For a DHCP network environment
The 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 the 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
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. 
 
•Your computer, access point (or wireless 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 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 are connected on the same 
network and it cannot be found when searching, firewall 
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 machine'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. 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 user's 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 types (e.g., Bluetooth) are not 
supported.• When using the ad hoc mode, in 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.
