1032. Using a network-connected machineWireless network setup • Make sure your machine supports wireless networking. Wireless networking may not be available depending on the model (see "Features by models" on page 4).• If the IPv6 network seems to not be working, set all the network settings to the factory defaults and try again using Clear Setting. 12 Getting startedUnderstanding your network typeTypically, you can only have one connection between your computer and the machine at a time.Wireless network name and network keyWireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up, a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Key are created for the network. Ask your network administrator about this information before proceeding with the machine installation.Infrastructure modeThis is an environment generally used for homes and SOHOs (Small Office/ Home Office). This mode uses an access point to communicate with the wireless machine.Ad hoc modeThis mode does not use an access point. The wireless computer and wireless machine communicate directly.

Wireless network setup1092. Using a network-connected machineRe-connecting to a networkWhen the wireless function is off, the machine automatically tries to re-connect to the access point (or wireless router) with the previously used wireless connection settings and address. In the following cases, the machine automatically re-connects to the wireless network:• The machine is turned off and on again.• The access point (or wireless router) is turned off and on again. Canceling the connection processTo cancel the wireless network connection when the machine is connecting to the wireless network, press and release the (Cancel or Stop/Clear) or (Power)button on the control panel. You need to wait 2 minutes to re-connect to the wireless network.Disconnecting from a networkTo disconnect the wireless network connection, press the (WPS) button on the control panel for more than two seconds.•When the Wi-Fi network is in idle mode: The machine is immediately disconnected from the wireless network and the WPS LED turns off.•When the Wi-Fi network is being used: While the machine waits until the current job is finished, the light blinks fast on the WPS LED. Then, the wireless network connection is automatically disconnected and the WPS LED turns off.15 Using the menu button Some menus may not appear in the display depending on options or models. If so, it is not applicable to your machine Before starting, you will need to know the network name (SSID) of your wireless network and the network key if it is encrypted. This information was set when the access point (or wireless router) was installed. If you do not know about your wireless environment, please ask the person who set up your network.

Setting up the mobile device• After setting up Wi-Fi Direct from the printer, refer to the user manual of the mobile device you are using to set its Wi-Fi Direct.• After setting up Wi-Fi Direct, you need to download the mobile printing application (For example: Samsung Mobile printer) to print from your smartphone. • When you have found the printer you want to connect to from your mobile device, select the printer and the printer's LED will blink. Press the WPS button on the printer and it will be connected to your mobile device.• If your mobile device does not support WPS, you need to enter the "Network Key" of a printer instead of pushing the WPS button. 21 TroubleshootingProblems during setup or driver installationPrinters Not Found• Your machine may not be turned on. Turn on your computer and the machine.• USB cable is not connected between your computer and machine. Connect the machine to your computer using the USB cable.• The machine does not support wireless networking. Check the machine's user's guide included on the software CD supplied with your machine and prepare a wireless network machine.Connecting Failure - SSID Not Found• The machine is unable to find the network name (SSID) you have selected or entered. Check the network name (SSID) on your access point and try connecting again. • Your access point is not turned on. Turn on your access point.
Wireless network setup1332. Using a network-connected machineConnecting Failure - Invalid Security• Security is not configured correctly. Check the configured security on your access point and machine.Connecting Failure - General Connection Error• Your computer is not receiving a signal from your machine. Check the USB cable and your machine’s power.Connecting Failure - Connected Wired Network• Your machine is connected with a wired network cable. Remove the wired network cable from your machine.PC Connection Error• The configured network address is unable to connect between your computer and machine.- For a DHCP network environmentThe receives the IP address automatically (DHCP) when computer is configured to DHCP.- For a Static network environmentThe 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: 255.255.0.0Then 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: 169.254.133.1Other problemsIf 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. • Your computer, access point (or wireless router), or machine may not be turned on.• 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.
Wireless network setup1342. Using a network-connected machine• Check whether firewall software (V3 or Norton) is blocking the communication. 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.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 3).• 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.• When using the ad hoc mode, in operating systems such as Windows Vista, you might need to set the wireless connection setting every time you use the wireless machine. • You cannot use infrastructure mode and ad hoc 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.
