Serial printing

[NOTE TO WRITERS: Delete this section if your printer does not support serial printing.]

With serial printing, data is transferred one bit at a time. Although se rial printing is usually slower than parallel printing, it is the preferred option when there is a great deal of distance between your printer and computer, or when a parallel interface is not available.

Note: A serial interface card is required and can be purchased separatel y.

Before y ou can print, you must establish communication between your printer and computer . To do this, you have to 1) set serial parameters in the printer, 2) install a printer driver on the attached computer, and 3) match the serial settings in the COM port.

Setting parameters in the printer

UNIX/Linux

Local printing is supported on many UNIX and Linux platforms, such as Sun Solaris and Red Hat.

If your drivers CD does not contain any UNIX/Linux printer driver packages, contact the place you purchased your printer to see if your printer is supported.

Some printer driver packages are available on the drivers CD. The UNIX/Linux User’s Guide in each package gives detailed instructions for installing and using printers in UNIX and Linux en vironments.

The Sun Solaris and Linux packages are av ailab le on the driver s CD and on the Lexmark Web si te at www.lexmark.com. The UNIX/Linux User’s Guide in each package gives detailed instructions for installing and using Lexmark printers in UNIX and Linux environments.

Verifying the IP settings

Install drivers for network printing

For basic printer functionality, you can install a system printer driver and use a system network printer port, such as an LPR or a Standard TCP/IP port. The system printer driver and port let you maintain a consistent user interface for use with all the printers on your network. However, using a custom printer driver and netw ork port provides enhanced functi onalit y, such as printer status alerts.

Follow the steps for your printing configuration and operating system to configure your network printer:

Printing configuration Operating system Go to page

Direct

Printer is connected directly to the network using a network cable, such as Ethernet.

Printer drivers are typically installed on each network computer.

Shared

Printer is connected to one of the computers on the network using a local cabl e, such as USB.

Printer drivers are installed on the computer attached to the printer.

During driver installation, the printer is set up to be “shared” so that other network computers can print to it.
