Check for the SSID. Make sure that the print server SSID matches the SSID of the network. The SSID is case- sensitive.

Check for the Line Quality item on the Network Printer Card Test page. If the quality is low or very low, improve the quality of network connections by removing obstacles, moving the wireless device closer to the printer, or adjusting the antenna direction.

Wireless settings

The Samsung network print server provides two solutions to configure wireless network settings:

SyncThru Web Service: This method is suitable for users who can use a wired network. In order to use this method, you must connect the Samsung print server to a local network using an Ethernet cable.

Printer control panel: This method is suitable for users who can use the printer control panel menus. To use this method, refer to the printer user's guide.

Configuration explained in this sections is based on SyncThru Web Service. Before configuring wireless network parameters, make sure of the following, depending on your situation:

The Wireless Printer Network Card and antenna are installed in the print server. If they are not, the Wireless menu will not be displayed on SyncThru Web Service.

Connect the Samsung print server to your wired network using an Ethernet cable.

The print server's IP address is configured as an IP address available on your network.
