Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF)
wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5
GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your printer system.
This section is only applicable if these devices are present.
Refer to the system label to verify the presen ce of wireless
devices.
Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified
for use in the United States of America if an FCC ID number is
on the system label.
The FCC has set a general guideline of 20 cm (8 inches)
separation between the device and the body, for use of a
wireless device near the body (this does not include
extremities). This device should be used more than 20 cm (8
inches) from the body when wireless devices are on. The power
output of the wireless device (or devices), which may be
embedded in your printer, is well below the RF exposure limits
as set by the FCC.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Operation of this device is subject to the following two
conditions:(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired oper ation of
the device.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not
modify them in any way. Modification to a
wireless device will void the authorization to use
it. Contact manufacturer for service.
FCC Statement for Wireless LAN use:
“While installing and operating this tra nsmitter
and antenna combination the radio frequency
exposure limit of 1mW/cm2 may be exceeded at
distances close to the antenna installed.
Therefore, the user must maintain a minimum
distance of 20cm from the antenna at all times.
This device can not be collocated with another
transmitter and transmitting antenna.”

Regulatory Compliance Statements
Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF)
wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5
GHz Band, may be present (embedde d) in your printer system.
The following section is a general overview of consider ations
while operating a wireless device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific
countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country
group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only
qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio
Approval Marks on the system rating label. If the country you
will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, please contact
your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless
devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed .
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be
embedded in your printer is well below the RF exposure limits
as known at this time. Because the wireless devices (which may
be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is allowed
in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations,
manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use.
Regardless of the power levels, ca re should be taken to
minimize human contact during normal operation.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm ( 8 inches)
between the wireless device and the body, for use of a w ireless
device near the body (this does not include extremities) is
typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches)
from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions n wireless devices.
Examples of common restrictions are listed below:
Radio frequency wireless communication can
interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft.
Current aviation regulations require w ireless
devices to be turned off while traveling in an
airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless
Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices
are examples of devices that provide wireless
communication.
In environments where the risk of interference to
other devices or services is harmful or perceived
as harmful, the option to use a wireless device
may be restricted or eliminated. Airports,
Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden
atmospheres are limited examples where use of
wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated.
When in environments where you are uncertain
of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the
applicable authority for authorization prior to use
or turning on the wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the
use of wireless devices. Since your system is
equipped with a wireless device, when traveling
between countries with your system, check with
the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any
move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a
wireless device in the destination country.
If your system came equipped with an internal
embedded wireless device, do not operate the
wireless device unless all covers and shields are
in place and the system is fully assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not
modify them in any way. Modification to a
wireless device will void the authorization to use
it. Please contact manufacturer for service.
Only use drivers approved for the country in
which the device will be used. See the
manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact
manufacturer Technical Support for additional
information.

Introduction
The Samsung Network Printer Card allows you to connect your
printer directly to a network physically or wirelessly to share
the printer among multiple users. Once the card has been
installed, the printer is ready to function as a network print
server supporting various network environments, such as
Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003, Novell NetWare, UNIX,
Linux, and Macintosh 8.6 or higher.
This guide explains how to install the Samsung Network Printer
Card and set up your printer as a print sever over the network.
This guide assumes that you have:
• A good working knowledge of your network utilities
• A supported network operating system
• A fully operational computer system
• Access to the supervisor account as a network administrator,
or access to an account that has supervisor and print server
operator privileges

Using SetIP
IP address setup
Before using your network print server in your network, you
must set TCP/IP addresses for the print server. You will need
your printer card’s MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address. First, check w ith your network administr ator
for the TCP/IP addresses.
NOTE
: The MAC address is the hardware serial number of the
network printer card. You can check the address by printing
the Network Printer Configuration Page. F or printing the page,
refer to your printer user’s guide.
You can set yo ur print server’s IP address via the following
methods:
• Printer control panel: If your printer has a control panel and
the network configuration menu, you can set the IP address
directly from the printer. Refer to your printer user’s guide.
• SetIP program: Go to the
• SyncThru Web Admin Service: Go to the
Web Admin Service
• SyncThru Web Service: Once you have set an IP address for
your network print server, you can use the embedded web
server in the network printer card to change the address. Go
to page 2.3.
• DHCP: You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) to get an IP address automatically assigned by your
network administrator, if your network system supports this
protocol.
• BOOTP: A network-based server using the BootStrap
protocol (BOOTP) can notify the network printer card of its
assigned IP address each time the printer turns on, if your
network system supports this protocol.
NOTE
: To get an IP address from the DHCP or BOOTP server,
the IP assignment method must be set to DHCP or BOOTP.
