Step 6: Attach cables

The Lexmark C750 can be attached to a network or locally (directly to a computer).

Network printing You can attach your printer to a network using standard network

cables.

A 10BaseT/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet port is standard on Lexmark C750n, Lexmark C750in, and Lexmark C750dn models. You can add a Token-Ring or 10Base2 Ethernet port to any printer model by installing an optional MarkNet internal print server.

To attach the printer to a network:

1 Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged. 2 Connect the printer to a LAN drop or hub using standard

cabling that is compatible with your network.

Token-Ring, Ethernet 10BaseT, or Ethernet 100BaseTX networks (Category 5) use an RJ-45 connector.

The printer automatically adjusts itself for the network speed.

Token-Ring networks (Shielded Twisted Pair) use a DB9 connector.

Ethernet 10Base2 networks (Thin Coax) use a BNC T connector.

Attach cables

Local printing You can attach your printer locally using either the USB port or

parallel port.

Note: All Windows operating

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

• A USB port is standard on all Lexmark C750 printer models.

We recommend Lexmark USB cable part number 12A2405 (2 m).

• A parallel port requires an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable,

such as Lexmark part number 1329605 (10 ft) or 1427498 (20 ft).

If you install an optional USB/Parallel Interface Card to the Lexmark C750n, Lexmark C750in, or Lexmark C750dn, you need a 1284 A-C parallel cable, such as Lexmark part number 43H5171 (9.8 ft), or a USB cable such as Lexmark part number 12A2405 (2 m).

If you have installed an optional Tri-Port Adapter, you can locally attach the printer with a serial cable. We recommend Lexmark part number 1038693 (50 ft). For details on LocalTalk or infrared connections, refer to the documentation that shipped with the Tri-Port Adapter.

To attach the printer to a computer:

1 Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached

devices are turned off and unplugged.

2 Connect the printer to the computer using a parallel or USB

cable.

Use an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable to ensure that you can access all of your printer functions.

Attach cables

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

Step 7: Verify printer setup

Turn ing on

the printer

1 Remove the shipping paper from the left access door. Hold

down the lever and pull the paper out.

2 Plug one end of the printer power cord into the socket at the

back of the printer and the other end into a properly grounded outlet.

If you installed an optional 2000-sheet drawer, plug the printer power jumper cord into the back of the drawer, and then plug the drawer’s cord into a properly grounded outlet.
