DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address on the report.

Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address from your computer.

In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network administrator to set this address for you.

IP setting using the SetIP program

The following procedure is based on Windows XP.

This program is for manually setting the network IP address of your machine using its MAC address to communicate with the machine. MAC address is a hardware serial number of the network interface and can be found in the Network Configuration Report.

• You only need to run this program if your network requires a static IP address. Otherwise, you may proceed to the Configuring the machine’s wireless network part of this document. If you are unsure of this requirement ask the system administrator or the person who has set up your local network.

You can only use the SetIP program when your machine is connected to a network or directly connected to a PC with the crossover network cable included with your machine. In most cases we recommend using the crossover cable. You will be asked to connect this cable in a moment.

Installing the program

1.Insert the Printer Software CD-ROM provided with your machine. When the driver CD runs automatically, close that window.

2.Start a web browser such as Internet Explorer and open the X drive. (X represents your CD-ROM drive.)

3.Double-clickApplication > SetIP.

4.Double-click Setup.exe to install this program.

5.Click OK. If necessary, select a language from the drop-down list.

6.Follow the instructions in the window and complete the installation.

3.From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > Samsung Network Printer Utilities > SetIP > SetIP.

4.Click on 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 as follows:

MAC Address : Find the machine’s MAC address from the Network Configuration Report and enter it without the colons.

For example, 00:15:99:29:51:A8 becomes 0015992951A8.

MAC address is a hardware serial number of the machine’s network interface and can be found in on the Network Configuration Report.

IP Address: Enter a new IP address for your printer the same as the computer’s IP address except for the last number.

For example, if your computer’s IP address is 192.168.1.150, enter 192.168.1.X. (X is number between 1 and 254 other than the computer’s address.)

Subnet Mask: Enter this exactly the same as the computer’s Subnet Mask.

Default Gateway: Enter this exactly the same as the computer’s Default Gateway.

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