• A Service Set Identiﬁer (SSID) is a name assigned to a wireless network. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP),

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and 802.1X-RADIUS are types of security used on a network.

Preparing to set up the printer on an Ethernet network

To conﬁgure your printer to connect to an Ethernet network, organize the following information before you begin:

Note: If your network automatically assigns IP addresses to computers and printers, continue on to installing the printer.

• A valid, unique IP address for the printer to use on the network

• The network gateway

• The network mask

• A nickname for the printer (optional)

Note: A printer nickname can make it easier for you to identify your printer on the network. You can choose to use the default printer nickname, or assign a name that is easier for you to remember.

You will need an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network and an available port where the printer can physically connect to the network. Use a new network cable when possible to avoid potential problems caused by a damaged cable.

Preparing to set up the printer on a wireless network

Notes:

• Make sure your wireless network adapter is installed in your printer and working properly. For more

information, see the instruction sheet that came with the wireless network adapter.

• Make sure your access point (wireless router) is turned on and is working properly.

Conﬁguring Universal paper settings

The Universal paper size is a user‑deﬁned setting that lets you print on paper sizes that are not preset in the printer menus.

Notes:

• The smallest supported Universal size is 70 x 127 mm (2.76 x 5 inches) for one‑sided printing and

105 x 148 mm (4.13 x 5.83 inches) for two‑sided (duplex) printing.

Using MS810n, MS810dn, MS811n, MS811dn, MS812dn, MS817n, MS817dn, MS818dn 45

• The largest supported Universal size is 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches) for one‑sided and two‑sided

printing.

• When printing on paper less than 210 mm (8.3 inches) wide, the printer may print at a reduced speed

after a period of time to ensure the best print performance.

• If you regularly print large jobs on narrow paper, then you may use the MS710 Series printer models,

which print batches of 10 or more pages of narrow paper at a faster speed. For more information on the MS710 Series printer models, contact your Lexmark sales representative.

Securing the printer

Using the security lock feature

The printer is equipped with a security lock feature. When a lock compatible with most laptop computers is attached, the printer is locked. When locked, the controller board shield and the controller board cannot be removed. Attach a security lock to the printer in the location shown.

Statement of Volatility

Your printer contains various types of memory that can store device and network settings, and user data.

Using MS810n, MS810dn, MS811n, MS811dn, MS812dn, MS817n, MS817dn, MS818dn 79

Type of memory Description

Volatile memory Your printer uses standard random access memory

(RAM) to temporarily buer user data during simple print jobs.

Non-volatile memory Your printer may use two forms of non-volatile memory:

EEPROM and NAND (ﬂash memory). Both types are used to store the operating system, device settings, network information, bookmark settings, and embedded solutions.

Hard disk memory Some printers have a hard disk drive installed. The printer

hard disk is designed for device-speciﬁc functionality. This lets the device retain buered user data from complex print jobs, as well as form data, and font data.

Erase the content of any installed printer memory in the following circumstances:

• The printer is being decommissioned.

• The printer hard disk is being replaced.

• The printer is being moved to a dierent department or location.

• The printer is being serviced by someone from outside your organization.

• The printer is being removed from your premises for service.

• The printer is being sold to another organization.

Disposing of a printer hard disk

Note: Some printer models may not have a printer hard disk installed.

In high‑security environments, it may be necessary to take additional steps to make sure that conﬁdential data stored in the printer hard disk cannot be accessed when the printer—or its hard disk—is removed from your premises.

• Degaussing—Flushes the hard disk with a magnetic ﬁeld that erases stored data

• Crushing—Physically compresses the hard disk to break component parts and render them unreadable

• Milling—Physically shreds the hard disk into small metal bits

Note: Most data can be erased electronically, but the only way to guarantee that all data is completely erased is to physically destroy each hard disk where data is stored.

Erasing volatile memory

The volatile memory (RAM) installed in your printer requires a power source to retain information. To erase the buered data, turn o the printer.

Using MS810n, MS810dn, MS811n, MS811dn, MS812dn, MS817n, MS817dn, MS818dn 80

• Wipe disk (fast)—This lets you overwrite the disk with all zeroes in a single pass.

• Wipe disk (secure)—This lets you overwrite the disk with random bit patterns several times, followed by

a veriﬁcation pass. A secure overwrite is compliant with the DoD 5220.22‑M standard for securely erasing data from a hard disk. Highly conﬁdential information should be wiped using this method.

Notes:

• A status bar will indicate the progress of the disk wiping task.
