This chapter includes:

• Introduction

• Supported operating systems

• Configuring TCP/IP

• Configuring IPX frame types

• Setting Ethernet speed

• Restoring the network configuration

• Printing a network configuration page

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: A web-based printer management solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web Admin Service provides you with an efficient way of managing network devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network printers from any site with corporate intranet access.

• 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: A utility program allowing you to select a network interface and manually configure the addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol.

For further details, refer to the user’s guide on the network utilities CD that came with your printer.

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

Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:

• Poor print quality

• Increased paper jams

• Premature wear on the printer

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output quality. When you choose print media, consider the following:

• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project.

• Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper tray.

• Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows:

- 16 to 28 lb bond (60 to 105 g/m

tray 3, tray 4

- 16 to 50 lb bond (60 to 190 g/m

- 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m

• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

Notes

• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which Samsung has no control.

• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.

Caution

• Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.
