Samsung Wireless Color Multifunction Printer Manual De Usuario

Getting started_ 27

You must set up the network protocols on your machine to use it on your 

network. This chapter will show you how this is easily accomplished.

Before starting, please locate the USB cable and the Printer Software 

Installation CD-ROM provided with your machine (;printer).
You may need to contact a network administrator or the person who has set 

up your wireless network for information regarding the configuration.

Every device in a network is identified by a unique numerical address 

called an IP Address. Your machine came with a default IP address of 

192.0.0.192, and you can verify this by printing out a Network 

Configuration Report. In most cases a new IP address will be 

automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration 

Protocol Server) located on the network. In a few situations the IP 

address must be set manually. This is called a static IP and is often 

required in corporate Intranets for security reasons. We have provided 

an easy to use utility program on the Printer Software CD-ROM named 

SetIP that can change the address for you. If your machine has a control 

panel, you may also change the IP address using the control panel. In 

an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network 

administrator to set this address for you.

Infrastructure mode

An Infrastructure mode network is the most common wireless 

network configuration in a home or office consisting of a wireless 

router, or an access point, that connects all the computers and other 

networked devices into a common local area network (LAN).

The access point provides a special high speed connection to a 

Cable or DSL modem or other wide area network (WAN) device that 

connects the LAN to the Internet or a Corporate Intranet. Most 

Infrastructure mode networks use a DHCP Server to automatically 

assign the IP address and set other network parameters.

If you know that you are connecting to an Infrastructure mode 

network with an access point, you may proceed to the Wireless 

network setting in infrastructure mode part.

•

Ad-hoc mode

An Ad-hoc mode network provides peer to peer communication. In 

an Ad-hoc mode network, wireless devices and computers 

communicate directly with each other, without using an access point. 

They can share files and machines, but may not be able to access 

the Internet. The machine receives print jobs from wireless 

computers directly.

If you know that you are connecting to an ad-hoc mode network 

without an access point, proceed to the Wireless network setting in 

Ad-hoc mode part.

If you do not have a Access Point (AP), you may still connect the printer 

wirelessly to your computer by setting up an Ad-Hoc wireless network by 

following these simple directions. Locate the Printer Sotware installation 

CD-ROM supplied with the printer.

Ensure you have next items ready.
•

Wireless network computer

•

Printer Software CD-ROM that provided with your machine

•

Wireless network printer (your machine)

•

USB cable

When items are ready, follow the next procedure:
1.

Connect the USB cable provided with your machine.

Turn on your computer and printer.

Put the provided Printer Software CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

The CD-ROM starts automatically and the welcome message shows 

on the window. 

Select a language from the drop-down list and click Next.

Select the Wireless Setup option and click Next.

The software searches the wireless network devices. 

After searching, the window shows the wireless network devices. 

Select the name (SSID) of your wireless computer and click Next.

The wireless network security window appears. Select Open 
System

 or Shared Key for the authentication and click Next.

•

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol preventing 

unauthorized access to your wireless network. WEP encrypts the 

data portion of each packet exchanged on a wireless network using 

a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption key.

This section is applicable only for the Windows operating system.

•

You must understand your wireless network environment and 

know its setting before you proceed the installation and settings.

•

If you have set the network configuration before, reset the 

machine to its factory default setting. 

If you already used your printer, click Start > All Programs > 
your printer name

 > Smart Panel. Select Printer Setting in the 

Smart Panel window. Select Network in the Printer Settings 

Utility window, and select Wireless Network Setting.

If the searching has failed, you may check if the USB cable is 

connected between the computer and printer properly, and 

follow the instruction on the window.

When you set the wireless configuration manually, click
