You need to set up the network protocols on the machine to use it as your 
network printer. Protocols can be set up by the following two methods: 
Via network administration programs
You can configure your machine’s print server settings and manage the 
machine via the following programs that came with your machine:
• SyncThru™ Web Admin Service :Web-based printer management 
solution for network  administrators. SyncThru™ Web Admin Service  
provides you with an efficient way of manageing network devices and 
lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network machines from 
any sith with corporate internet a ccess. Download this program from  
http://solution.samsungprinter.com.
• SyncThru™ Web Service : A web server embedded to your network 
print server, which allows you to:
-  Configure the network parameters necessary for the machine to  connect to various network environments.
-  Customize e-mail settings and set up  Address Book for scanning 
to email.
-  Customize server settings and set up  Address Book for scanning 
to an FTP or SMB servers.
-  Customize printer, copy, and fax settings.
•   SetIP : Utility program allowing you to select a network interface and 
manually configure the IP addresses fo r use with the TCP/IP protocol. 
See Using SetIP program on page 4.3
Via the control panel
You can set up the following basic network parameters through the 
machine’s control panel:
• Configure TCP/IP

your machine.
This chapter includes:
• Loading originals
• Selecting print media
• Loading paper
• Setting the paper size and type
• Selecting an output location
Loading originals
You can use the scanner glass or ADF to load an original for copying, 
scanning, and sending a fax.
On the scanner glass
Make sure that no originals are in the ADF. If an original is detected in the 
ADF, the machine gives it priority over the original on the scanner glass. 
To get the best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images, 
use the scanner glass.
1 Lift and open the scanner lid.
2Place the original  face down on the scanner glass and align it with 
the registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.
3 Close the scanner lid.
In the ADF
Using the ADF, you can load up to 50 sheets of paper (75 g/m2) for one 
job. 
When you use the ADF:
• Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm or larger than  216 x 356 mm.
• Do not attempt to load the following types of paper: -  carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper
- coated paper
-  onion skin or thin paper
-  wrinkled or creased paper
-  curled or rolled paper
- torn paper
• Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.
• Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely  dry before loading.
• Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.
• Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents  having other unusual characteristics.
Notes
• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy quality and toner consumption.
• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the  printout. Always keep it clean.
• If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the  scanner lid until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then 
close the lid. If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm, 
start copying with the lid open.

5.2   
To load an original into the ADF:
1 Load the original face up into the ADF. Make sure that the bottom of 
the original stack matches the paper size marked on the document 
input tray.
2 Adjust the document width guides to the paper size.
Note 
Dust on the ADF glass may cause black lines on the printout. 
Always keep it clean.
Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, 
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the 
guidelines for use with your machine. Print media that does not meet the 
guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the machine.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are 
important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output 
quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine is 
described in following tables.
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate  for your project.
• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce  sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how  crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Caution  
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may 
cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered 
by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.
Notes
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section 
and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result 
of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity 
levels, or other variables over which Samsung has no control.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it  meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
