Wired network setup

You must set up the network protocols on your machine to use it on your network.

You can use network after connecting network cable to a corresponding port on your machine.

For models that do not have the display screen on the control panel, use the SyncThru™ Web Service or SetIP program.

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.

Press the (Cancel) button for more than 4 seconds on the control panel.

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: 192.0.0.192

Setting IP address

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.

[Note]

The following instructions may differ for your model.

  1. Download the software from the Samsung website then unpack and install it: (http://www.samsung.com > find your product > Support or Downloads).

  2. Follow the instructions in the installation window.

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

  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.

[Note]

The following instructions may vary from your model.

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

  2. Insert the supplied software CD into your CD-ROM drive.

  3. Double-click the CD-ROM icon that appears on your Mac desktop.

    • For Mac OS X 10.8, Double-click the CD-ROM that appears on Finder.

  4. Double-click the MAC_Installer folder > Installer OS X icon.

  5. Click Continue.

  6. Read the license agreement and click Continue.

  7. Click Agree to agree to the license agreement.

  8. Click Install. All components necessary for machine operations will be installed.

    If you click Customize, you can choose individual components to install.

  9. Enter the password and click OK.

  10. When the message that warns that all applications will close on your computer appears, click Continue.

  11. Select Network connection on the Printer Connection Type and click Set IP Address button.

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

  13. 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.

    [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.

  14. 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 (Linux)

Before using the SetIP program, disable the computer firewall from System Preferences or Administrator.

[Note]

The following instructions may vary from your model or operating systems.

  1. Open /opt/Samsung/mfp/share/utils/.

  2. Double-click the SetIPApplet.html file.

  3. Click to open the TCP/IP configuration window.

  4. 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.

    [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.

  5. The machine will automatically print the Network Configuration Report.

IPv6 configuration

[Caution]

IPv6 is supported properly only in Windows Vista or higher.
[Note]

  • Some features and optional goods may not be available depending on model or country (see Features by models ).

  • If the IPv6 network seems to not be working, set all the network setting to the factory defaults and try again using Clear Setting.

The machine supports the following IPv6 addresses for network printing and managements.

  • Link-local Address: Self-configured local IPv6 address (Address starts with FE80).

  • Stateless Address: Automatically configured IPv6 address by a network router.

  • Stateful Address: IPv6 address configured by a DHCPv6 server.

  • Manual Address: Manually configured IPv6 address by a user.

From the SyncThru™ Web Service

Activating IPv6

  1. Access a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, from Windows. Enter the machine IP address (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in the address field and press the Enter key or click Go.

  2. If it’s your first time logging into SyncThru™ Web Service you need to log-in as an administrator. Type in the below default ID and password. We recommend you to change the default password for security reasons.

    • ID: admin

    • Password: sec00000

  3. When the SyncThru™ Web Service window opens, move the mouse cursor over the Settings of the top menu bar and then click Network Settings.

  4. Click TCP/IPv6 on the left pane of the website.

  5. Check the IPv6 Protocol check box to activate IPv6.

  6. Click the Apply button.

  7. Turn the machine off and turn it on again.

[Note]

  • You can also set the DHCPv6.

  • To manually set the IPv6 address:

    Check the Manual Address check box. Then, the Address/Prefix text box is activated. Enter the rest of the address (e.g.,:3FFE:10:88:194::AAAA. “A” is the hexadecimal 0 through 9, A through F).
IPv6 address configuration

  1. Start a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, that supports IPv6 addressing as a URL.

  2. Select one of the IPv6 addresses (Link-local Address, Stateless Address, Stateful Address, Manual Address) from Network Configuration Report (see Printing a network configuration report).

    • Link-local Address: Self-configured local IPv6 address (Address starts with FE80).

    • Stateless Address: Automatically configured IPv6 address by a network router.

    • Stateful Address: IPv6 address configured by a DHCPv6 server.

    • Manual Address: Manually configured IPv6 address by a user.

  3. Enter the IPv6 addresses (e.g.,: http://[FE80::215:99FF:FE66:7701]).

    [Caution]

    Address must be enclosed in '[ ]' brackets.
