storm.

Attaching a
local cable

The printer can be attached to a network or directly to a computer to
print locally.

You can attach your printer locally using either a USB, parallel, or serial
connection.

USB A USB port is standard on all models.

Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP
operating systems support USB connections. Some UNIX, Linux, and
Macintosh computers also support USB connections. Refer to your
computer operating system documentation to see if your system
supports USB.

A USB port requires a USB cable such as Lexmark part number
12A2405 (2 m [6.5 ft]).

Be sure to match the USB symbol on the cable to the USB symbol on
the printer.

Attach cables

32

Parallel A parallel port is included on base printer models.

A parallel port requires an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable such as
Lexmark part number 1329605 (3 m [10 ft]).

Serial A serial port can be attached through the INA port on the printer

system board.
A serial port requires a compatible serial cable such as Lexmark part

number 1038693.

Attach cables

33

Attaching a
network cable

You can attach your printer to a network using standard network
cables.

Ethernet A 10BaseT/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet port is standard on the network

model.
To attach the printer to a network:

1 Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged.
2 Plug one end of the standard network cable into a LAN drop or

hub and the other end into the Ethernet port on the back of the
printer. The printer automatically adjusts for the network speed.

Use Category 5 cable with an RJ-45
connector for the standard network
port.

802.11b wireless
options

Your printer can be converted to wireless networking by using an
optional 802.11b Wireless Print Adapter. This adapter is a piece of

Windows In addition to the following driver installation instructions, you may

need to refer to the documentation that shipped with your computer
and your Windows software.

Before you install Some versions of Windows software may already have a system

printer driver for this printer included. This may mean that installation
will seem automatic in later versions of Windows. System drivers work
well for simple printing, but they contain less functionality than our
enhanced custom driver.

Note: Installing a custom

driver will not replace the
system driver. A separate
printer object will be created
and appear in the Printers
folder.

Using Windows XP or
Windows Server 2003

Windows In Windows environments, network printers can be configured for

direct printing or shared printing. Both network printing methods
require the installation of a printer driver and the creation of a network
printer port.

Supported printer drivers

• Windows system printer driver

• Lexmark custom printer driver

System drivers are built into Windows operating systems. Custom
drivers are available on the drivers CD.

Updated system and custom drivers are available on our Lexmark
Web site at www.lexmark.com.

Supported network printer ports

• Microsoft IP port—Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000,

Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003

• Lexmark network port—Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT 4.0,

Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003

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 network port provides
enhanced functionality, such as printer status alerts. Follow the steps

modifications and the print
job processing. This lets
network clients return to
applications much faster.

7 Check the following to make sure the printer was successfully

shared.

• The printer object in the Printers folder now has a shared

indicator. For example, in Windows NT 4.0, a hand appears
under the printer object.

• Browse Network Neighborhood. Find the host name of the

server and look for the shared name you assigned to the
printer.

Step 3: Install the printer driver (or subset) on network
clients

Using the point and print method

With this method, a subset of driver information is copied from the
server to the client computer. This is just enough information to send
a print job to the printer.

1 On the Windows desktop of the client computer, double-click

Network Neighborhood.

2 Locate the host name of the server computer, and then double-

click the host name.

3 Right-click the shared printer name, and then click Install.

\\<server host name>\<shared printer name>

Note: If this is a new printer,

you may be prompted to
install a printer driver. If no
system driver is available,
then you will need to provide
a path to available drivers.
