Wired network setup

Printing a network configuration report

You can print Network Configuration Report from the machine’s control panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help you to set up a network.

[Note]

  • Accessing menus may differ from model to model (see Accessing the menu).

  • It may be necessary to press OK to navigate to lower-level menus for some models.

  • The machine has the display screen: Press the (Menu) button on the control panel and select Network > Network Configuration.

  • The machine has the touch screen: Press Setup from the Main screen > Machine Setup > Next > Reports > Network Configuration.

Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine’s MAC address and IP address.

For example:

  • MAC Address: 00:15:99:41:A2:78

  • IP Address: 169.254.192.192

Setting IP address

[Note]

  • The machine that does not support the network interface, it will not be able to use this feature (see Rear view).

  • TCP/IPv6 is not supported by this program.

First, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located on the network.

IPv4 configuration using SetIP (Windows)

Before using the SetIP program, disable the computer firewall from Control Panel > Security Center > Windows Firewall.

  1. Install this program from the supplied CD-ROM by double-click Application > SetIP > Setup.exe.

  4. Turn on the machine.

  5. From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > Samsung Printers > SetIP > SetIP.

  6. Click the icon (third from left) in the SetIP window to open the TCP/IP configuration window.

  7. Enter the machine’s new information into the configuration window as follows. In a corporate intranet, you may need to have this information assigned by a network manager before proceeding.

    [Note]

    Find the machine’s MAC address from the Network Configuration Report (see Printing a network configuration report) and enter it without the colons. For example, 00:15:99:29:51:A8 becomes 0015992951A8.

  8. Click Apply, and then click OK. The machine will automatically print the Network Configuration Report. Confirm that all the settings are correct.

IPv4 configuration using SetIP (Mac)

Before using the SetIP program, disable the computer firewall from System Preferences > Security > Firewall.

The following instructions may vary from your model.

  1. Connect your machine to the network with a network cable.

  2. Insert the Installation CD-ROM, and open the disk window, select MAC_Installer > MAC_Printer > SetIP > SetIPapplet.html.

  3. Double-click the file and Safari will automatically open, then select Trust. The browser will open the SetIPapplet.html page that shows the printer’s name and IP address information.

  4. Click the icon (third from left) in the SetIP window to open the TCP/IP configuration window.

  5. Enter the machine’s new information into the configuration window. In a corporate intranet, you may need to have this information assigned by a network manager before proceeding.
