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. 
 
• You cannot enable wired and wireless networks at the same time.
• Your computer, access point (or wi reless 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 poin t (or wireless router), machine, and 
computer. Sometimes cycling th e 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, fir ewall 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 machin e'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. Reinsta ll the machine driver and change the 
settings to connect to the mach ine on the network. Due to the 
characteristics of  DHCP, the alloca ted IP address could change if the 
machine is not used for  a long time or if the access point has been reset.
Register the product's MAC  address when you configure the DHCP server on 
the access point (or wireless router). Then you can always use the IP address 
that is set with the MAC address. Yo u can identify the Mac address of your 
machine by printing a ne twork configuration report  (see "Printing a network 
configuration report" on page 148).
• Check the wireless environment. You mi ght not be able to connect to the 
network in the infrastructure enviro nment where you need to type in a 
user's information before connecting to  the 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 ope rating 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.
