Introduction

Once you have connected your printer to a network with an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, you can share the printer with other network users.

You need to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your network printer. Protocols can be set up by the following programs:

•SyncThru™ Web Admin Service: A web-based printer management solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web Admin Service provides you with an efficient way of managing network devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network printers from any site with corporate intranet access. You can download this program from http://solution.samsungprinter.com.

•SyncThru™ Web Service: A web server embedded to your network print server, which allows you to configure the network parameters necessary for the printer to connect to various network environments.

•SetIP: A utility program allowing you to select a network interface and manually configure the addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol. This program is on the software CD that comes with your printer.

Using SetIP program

This program is for the network IP setting using the MAC address which is the hardware serial number of the network printer card or interface. Especially, it is for the network administrator to set several network IPs at the same time.

Note

If you want to setup DHCP network protocol, go to the http:// developer.apple.com/networking/bonjour/download/, select the program Bonjour for Windows due to your computer operating system, and install the program. This program will allow you to fix the network parameter automatically. Follow the instruction in the installation window. This program does not support Linux.
