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 need to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your
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™ Web Admin
Service provides you with an efficient way of manageing network
devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network
machines from any sith with corporate internet access. Download 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
manually configure the IP addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol.
See Using SetIP program on page 4.3
Via the control panel
You can set up the following basic network parameters through the
printer's control panel:
• Configure TCP/IP
• Configure IPX frame types for NetWare
• Configure EtherTalk
Supported operating systems
The following table shows the network environments supported by the
printer:

• IPX/SPX: Internet Packet eXchange/Sequenced Packet eXchange
• TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
• DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
• BOOTP: Bootstrap Protocol
Configuring TCP/IP
Your printer can be set up with a variety of TCP/IP network information,
such as an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway, and DNS addresses.
There are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a TCP/IP
address, depending on your network.
• Static addressing: A TCP/IP address is assigned manually by the
system administrator.
• Dynamic addressing via BOOTP/DHCP (default): A TCP/IP address
is assigned automatically by the server.
Note
Before configuring TCP/IP, you need to set the network
protocol to TCP/IP.
