INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

You have to install the machine software for printing. The software includes drivers, applications, and other user friendly programs.

The following procedure is based on Windows XP. If you use Macintosh or Linux OS, see Software section.

• The following procedure is for the machine with the network feature. If you want to connect a machine with a USB cable, refer to the Quick Install Guide or Software section.

The following procedure is based on the Windows XP operating system. The procedure and popup window which appear during the installation may differ depending on the operating system, the printer feature, or the interface in use.

1.Connect the network cable to your machine.

2.Make sure that the network setup for your machine is completed. (See "Setting up the network" on page 21.) All applications should be closed on your computer before beginning installation.

3.Insert the Printer Software CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM should automatically run, and an installation window appears.

If the installation window does not appear, click Start > Run. Type X:\Setup.exe, replacing “X” with the letter which represents your drive and click OK.

If you use Windows Vista, click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run, and type X:\Setup.exe.

If the AutoPlay window appears in Windows Vista, click Run Setup.exe in Install or run program field, and click Continue in the User Account Control window.

4.Click Next.

The window above may slightly differ, if you are reinstalling the driver.

View User’s Guide: Allows you to view the User’s Guide. If your computer does not have Adobe Acrobat, clicking on this button will automatically install Adobe Acrobat Reader for you, and then open the User’s Guide.

5. Select Typical installation for a network printer, and then click Next.

6.The list of machines available on the network appears. Select the printer you want to install from the list and then click Next.

If you do not see your machine on the list, click Update to refresh the list, or select Add TCP/IP Port to add your machine to the network. To add the machine to the network, enter the port name and the IP address for the machine.

To verify your machine’s IP address or the MAC address, print a Network Configuration page.

To find a shared network printer (UNC Path), select Shared Printer [UNC] and enter the shared name manually or find a shared printer by clicking the Browse button.

If you are not sure of the IP address, contact your network administrator or print network information.

7.After the installation is finished, a window appears asking you to print a test page and to register yourself as a user of Samsung machines in order to receive information from Samsung. If you wish to do so, select the corresponding checkbox(es) and click Finish.

• If your machine does not work properly after the installation, try to reinstall the printer driver. See Software section.

During the printer driver installation process, the driver installer detects the location information for your operating system and sets the default paper size for your machine. If you use a different Windows location, you must change the paper size to match the paper you usually use. Go to printer properties to change the paper size after installation is complete.
