This chapter includes:
• Introduction
• Supported operating systems
• Configuring TCP/IP
• Using SetIP program
• Configuring EtherTalk
• Setting Ethernet speed
• Restoring the network configuration

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 n eed to set up the netw ork pro tocol s on the pri nter to use it as you r
network printer. Protocols can be set up by the following two methods:
Via network administration programs
You can configure your printer’s print server settings and manage the
printer via the following programs that came with your printer:
• SyncThru™ Web Admin Service: Web-based printer management
solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ W e b Admin
Service provides you with an efficient way of manageing network
devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network
machin es from any sith with corporate i nternet acces s. Downlo ad 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: Utility program allowing you to select a network interface and
manuall y configure the IP add resses for use with the TCP/IP protocol .
See Using SetIP program on page 4.2.
Via the control panel
You can set up the following basic network parameters through the
printer’s control panel:
• Co nfigure TCP/IP
• Configure EtherTalk
Supported operating systems
The following table shows the network environments supported by the
printer:
• TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
• DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
• BOOTP: Bootstrap Protocol
