Using Your Printer on a

If you work in a networked environment, the printer can be

shared by other users on the network.

•

About Sharing the Printer on a Network

N

OTE

: 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
