Using the WPS Settings menu
There are two methods available to connect your machine to a wireless network.
If your machine and access point (or wireless router) support Wi-Fi Protected
Setup™ (WPS), then you can easily configure the wireless network settings
through the WPS button menu without the need for a computer.
• If you want to use the wireless network using the infrastructure mode,
make sure that the network cable is disconnected from the machine.
Using the WPS (PBC) button or entering the PIN from the computer to
connect to the access point (or wireless router) varies depending on the
access point (or wireless router) you are using. Refer to the user's guide
of the access point (or wireless router) you are using.
•
The Push Button Configuration (PBC) method allows you to connect your
machine to a wireless network by pressing both the WPS button menu on
the control panel of your machine and the WPS (PBC) button on a Wi-Fi
Protected Setup™ WPS-enabled access point (or wireless router)
respectively.
•
The Personal Identification Number (PIN) method helps you connect your
machine to a wireless network by entering the supplied PIN information on
a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ WPS-enabled access point (or wireless router).
• When using the WPS button to set the wireless network, security settings
may change. To prevent this, lock the WPS option for the current wireless
security settings. The option name may differ depending on the access
point (or wireless router) you are using.

Wireless network setup
For a Static network environment
•
Check the wireless reception around the machine. If the router is far from
the machine or there is an obstacle, you might have difficulty receiving the
signal.
•
Cycle the power for the access point (or wireless router), machine, and
computer. Sometimes cycling the power can recover network
communication.
•
Check whether firewall software (V3 or Norton) is blocking the
communication.
The machine uses the static address when the computer is configured
to static address.
For example,
If the computer’s network information is as shown below:
▪
IP address: 169.254.133.42
▪
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Then the machine’s network information should be as below:
▪
IP address: 169.254.133.43
▪
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet mask.)
▪
Gateway: 169.254.133.1
Other problems
If the computer and the machine are connected on the same network and it
cannot be found when searching, firewall software might be blocking the
communication. Refer to the user's guide for the software to turn it off and
try searching for the machine again.
•
Check whether the machine's IP address is allocated correctly. You can
check the IP address by printing the network configuration report.
•
Check whether the access point (or wireless router) has a configured
security (password). If it has a password, refer to the access point (or wireless
router) administrator.
•
Check the machine's IP address. Reinstall the machine driver and change the
settings to connect to the machine on the network. Due to the
characteristics of DHCP, the allocated IP address could change if the
machine is not used for a long time or if the access point has been reset.
If problems occur while using the machine on a network, check the following:
For information on the access point (or wireless router), refer to its own
user's guide.
•
You cannot enable wired and wireless networks at the same time.
•
Your computer, access point (or wireless router), or machine may not be
turned on.
Register the product's MAC address when you confogure the DHCP server
on the access point (or wireless router). Then you can always use the IP
address that is set with the MAC address. You can identify the Mac address
of your machine by printing a network configuration report (see "Printing a
network configuration report" on page 96).
2. Using a Network-Connected Machine
122
Wireless network setup
•
Check the wireless environment. You might not be able to connect to the
network in the infrastructure environment where you need to type in a
user's information before connecting to the access point (or wireless router).
•
This machine only supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and Wi-Fi. Other wireless
communication types (e.g., Bluetooth) are not supported.
•
You cannot use infrastructure mode at the same time for Samsung wireless
network machines.
•
The machine is within the range of the wireless network.
•
The machine is located away from obstacles that could block the wireless
signal.
Remove any large metal objects between the access point (or wireless
router) and the machine.
Make sure the machine and wireless access point (or wireless router) are not
separated by poles, walls, or support columns containing metal or concrete.
•
The machine is located away from other electronic devices that may
interfere with the wireless signal.
Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal, including a microwave
oven and some Bluetooth devices.
•
Whenever the configuration of your access point (or wireless router)
changes, you must do the product's wireless network setup again.
•
The maximum number of device that can be connected via Wi-Fi Direct is 3.
•
If Wi-Fi Direct is ON, this machine only supports IEEE 802.11 b/g.
•
If the access point is set to work with the 802.11n standard only, it may not
connect to your machine.

Overlaya
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document.
Overlays are often used to take the place of letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing
exactly the same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load
preprinted letterhead paper in the machine: just print the letterhead overlay on your document.
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.
• The overlay document size must be the same as the document you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay with a watermark.
• The resolution of the overlay document must be the same as that of the document you will print with the overlay.
