Setting IP address

When you connect your machine to a network, you must first configure the TCP/IP settings for the machine. The settings shown below are the basic settings required for using your machine as a network machine. You can set TCP/IP, DNS server, TCP/IPv6, Ethernet, and IP address allocation methods.

IPv4 configuration

[Note]

  • If your device does not support a network connection, it will not be able to use this feature (see Rear view).

  • You can also set the TCP/IPv4 from control panel.

  • 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.

[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. 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 Other settings) and enter it without the colons. For example, 30:CD:A7:1F:E3:27 becomes 30CDA71FE327.

  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 (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall.

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

  2. Turn on the machine.

  3. Run downloaded SetIP application.

  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.

    [Note]

    Find the machine’s MAC address from the Network Configuration Report (see Other settings) and enter it without the colons. For example, 30:CD:A7:1F:E3:27 becomes 30CDA71FE327.

  6. 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. Download the SetIP program from the Samsung web site and extract it.

  2. Double-click the SetIPApplet.html file in cdroot/Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/utils folder.

  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 Other settings) 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.

From the control panel

Activating IPv6
[Note]

Accessing menus may differ from model to model (see Menu overview).

  1. Press Machine Setup > Network Settings > TCP/IP > TCP/IPv6 from the display screen.

  2. Press the radio button in the display screen to activate the option.

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

[Note]

When you install the printer driver, do not configure both IPv4 and IPv6. We recommend to configure either IPv4 or IPv6.
DHCPv6 address configuration

If you have a DHCPv6 server on your network, you can set one of the following options for default dynamic host configuration.

  1. Press Machine Setup > Network Settings > TCP/IP > TCP/IPv6 from the display screen.

  2. Press DHCPv6 Configuration.

  3. Select the required value you want.

    • Always Enable DHCP : Always use DHCPv6 regardless of router request.

    • Never use DHCP: Never use DHCPv6 regardless of router request.

    • Use DHCP as directed by a router Use DHCPv6 only when requested by a router.

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. Type in the ID and Password.

    Use the same login ID, Password as when logging in from the machine (see Log-in ).

    [Note]

    If you want to change the password, see Security tab.

  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. 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. Type in the ID and Password.

    Use the same login ID, Password as when logging in from the machine (see Log-in ).

    • 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.

    • Default Gateway: Default gageway configured IPv6 address by a network router.

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