Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up, a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Password are created for the network. Ask your network administrator about this information before proceeding with the machine installation.
You can set wireless settings either from the machine or the computer. Choose the setting method from the below table.

If your machine and access point (or wireless router) support Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS), then you can easily configure the wireless network settings through the
button menu without the need for a computer.
|
Check if the access point (or wireless router) supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS).
Check if your machine supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS).
Networked computer (PIN mode only)
There are two methods available to connect your machine to a wireless network.
The Push Button Configuration (PBC) method allows you to connect your machine to a wireless network by pressing both the button menu on the control panel of your machine and the WPS (PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ WPS-enabled access point (or wireless router) respectively.
The Personal Identification Number (PIN) method helps you connect your machine to a wireless network by entering the supplied PIN information on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ WPS-enabled access point (or wireless router).
Factory default in your machine is PBC mode, which is recommended for a typical wireless network environment.
Press the (
) button on the control panel and select > > > .Press the WPS (PBC) button on the access point (or wireless router).

You can identify the network settings of your machine by printing a network configuration report.
This program is used to manually set the network IP address of your machine using its MAC address to communicate with the machine. The MAC address is the hardware serial number of the network interface and can be found in the Network Configuration Report.
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

Your machine may not be turned on. Turn on your computer and the machine.
USB cable is not connected between your computer and machine. Connect the machine to your computer using the USB cable.
The machine does not support wireless networking. Check the machine's user's guide included on the software CD supplied with your machine and prepare a wireless network machine.
The machine is unable to find the network name (SSID) you have selected or entered. Check the network name (SSID) on your access point and try connecting again.
Your access point is not turned on. Turn on your access point.
Security is not configured correctly. Check the configured security on your access point and machine.
Your computer is not receiving a signal from your machine. Check the USB cable and your machine’s power.
Your machine is connected with a wired network cable. Remove the wired network cable from your machine.
Cycle the power for the access point (or wireless router) and machine.
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.
If the printing job is not working in DHCP mode, the problem may be caused by the automatically changed IP address. Compare the IP address between the product's IP address and the printer port's IP address. How to compare:
|
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
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 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.
Register the product's MAC address when you confogure 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. You can identify the Mac address of your machine by printing a network configuration report (see Printing a network configuration report).
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 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.
You cannot use infrastructure 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.
Whenever the configuration of your access point (or wireless router) changes, you must do the product's wireless network setup again.
The maximum number of device that can be connected via
is 3.If
is , this machine only supports IEEE 802.11 b/g.If the access point is set to work with the 802.11n standard only, it may not connect to your machine.
