8 Using Your Printer on a
Network
(CLP-600N only)
If you work in a networked environment, the printer can be
shared by other users on the network.
This chapter includes:
• About Sharing the Printer on a Network
• Setting Up a Network-Connected Printer
NOTE
: If you are a CLP-600 user, you can only connect your
printer to a network locally, for use via a single computer.
About Sharing the Printer on a
Network
If you work in a networked environment, you can connect your
printer to the network.
Locally-Shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer,
which is called the “host computer” on the network. The printer
can then be shared by other users on the network through a
Windows 98SE/Me/XP/NT 4.0/2000/2003 network printer
connection.
For details about sharing the printer locally, see the
Software
section
.
Wired Network-connected Printer
The CLP-600N printer has a built-in network interface. For more
information about connecting your printer to a network, see
2.7.
Wireless Network-connected Printer
To use a CLP-600N printer in a wireless network environment,
you need to install an optional wired/wireless network interface
card in your printer.
Contact your Samsung dealer or the retailer where you bought
your printer. We strongly recommend that the card be installed
by a trained service professional.
Printing Across a Network
Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected,
you need to install the CLP-600 series printer software on each
computer that prints documents using the printer.
Setting Up a Network-
Connected Printer
You have to set up the network protocols on the printer to use
it as your network printer. Setting protocols can be
accomplished by using the supplied network program. Please
refer to the Network Printer User’s Guide.
You can configure the basic network parameters through the
printer’s control panel. Use the printer control panel to do the
following:
• Enable or disable network protocols (IPX/SPX)
• Configure TCP/IP
• Configure IPX frame types
