About Sharing the Printer on a Network

If you work in a networked environment, you can connect your printer to the network.

Locally-Shared Printer

You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the “host computer” on the network. The printer can then be shared by other users on the network through a Windows 98SE/Me/XP/NT 4.0/2000/2003 network printer connection.

For details about sharing the printer locally, see the Software Section.

Wired Network-connected Printer

The CLP-650N printer has a built-in network interface. For more information about connecting your printer to a network, see 2.8.

Printing Across a Network

Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected, you need to install the Samsung CLP-650 Series printer software on each computer that prints documents using the printer.

Setting Up a Network-

Connected Printer

You have to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your network printer. Setting protocols can be accomplished by using the supplied network program. Please refer to the Network Printer User’s Guide.

You can configure the basic network parameters through the printer’s control panel. Use the printer control panel to do the following:

•Enable or disable network protocols (IPX/SPX)

•Configure TCP/IP

•Configure IPX frame types
