Step 1: Choose your setup (local or network printer)

Local printer A local printer is a printer attached to your computer using a USB or parallel cable. The

local printer is intended to be used by the computer to which it is attached. If you are attaching a local printer, you must install the printer driver on your computer before setting up your printer.

Continue with Step 2: “Install drivers for local printing” on page 7.

Network printer A network printer is a printer attached to a network either by a network cable (such as

Ethernet) or through the use of a server. If you are attaching a network printer, you must set up your printer on the network first, and then install the printer driver.

Continue with Step 3: “Unpack the printer” on page 9.

Step 2: Install drivers for local printing

The printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer.

The procedure to install drivers depends on the operating system you are using. Use the following table to find driver installation instructions for your particular operating system. If you need additional help, refer to the documentation that shipped with your computer and your software.

Operating system Go to page...

Windows

Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.x

Windows 95 and Windows 98 (first edition) 8

Serial printing 8

Macintosh 8 UNIX/Linux 9

Windows Some Windows operating systems may already include a printer driver that is

compatible with your printer. This may mean that installation will seem automatic in later versions of Windows. System printer drivers work well for simple printing, but they contain less functionality than our enhanced custom printer 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 Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows98SE, WindowsMe, and Windows NT

Note: USB support is not available for

Windows NT operating systems.

Use the drivers CD that shipped with your printer to install the custom printer driver and obtain all the enhanced printer features and functionality.

Drivers are also available in downloadable software packages on our Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.

1 Insert the drivers CD.

If the CD does not auto launch, click Start

D:\Setup.exe in the Run dialog box.

à Run, and then type

2 Click Install Software.

Choose your setup (local or network printer)

Note: Some Windows operating

systems require that you have administrative access to install printer drivers on your computer.

3 Click Printer and Software. 4 Click Agree to accept the license agreement. 5 Select Suggested, and then click Next.

The Suggested option is the default installation for local and network-attached setup. If you need to install utilities, change settings, or customize device drivers, select Custom, and follow the instructions on your screen.

6 Select Local Attached, and then click Finish.

It may take some time for the drivers to load.

7 Close the drivers CD. 8 Go to “Unpack the printer” on page 9.

Using Windows 95 and Windows 98 (first edition)

Refer to the User’s Guide on the publications CD for information to install Windows 95 and Windows 98 (first edition) drivers.

Serial printing For information about serial printing, refer to the User’s Guide on the publications CD.

Macintosh Refer to the User’s Guide on the publications CD for information to install Macintosh

drivers and to create a desktop printer icon for Macintosh 8.6–9.x.

Creating a queue in Print Center (Macintosh OS X)

Note: A PPD file provides detailed

information about the capabilities of a printer to your Macintosh computer.

Note: A PPD for your printer is also

available in a downloadable software package on our Lexmark Web site at

www.lexmark.com.

h Click Close when installation is complete. 2 Open Finder, click Applications, and then click Utilities. 3 Double-click Print Center or Printer Setup Utility. 4 Do one of the following:

If your USB-attached printer appears in the Printer List, you can quit Print Center

or Printer Setup Utility. A queue has been created for your printer.

If your USB-attached printer does not appear in the Printer List, make sure the

USB cable is properly connected and the printer is turned on. After the printer

appears in the Printer List, you can quit Print Center or Printer Setup Utility.

5 After you have installed the drivers on your computer, you are ready to set up

the printer. Go to “Unpack the printer” on page 9.

Install drivers for local printing

UNIX/Linux Local printing is supported on many UNIX and Linux platforms, such as Sun Solaris and

Red Hat.

The Sun Solaris and Linux packages are available on the drivers CD and on our Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com. The User’s Guide in each package gives detailed instructions for installing and using Lexmark printers in UNIX and Linux environments.

All the printer driver packages support local printing using a parallel connection. The driver package for Sun Solaris supports USB connections to Sun Ray appliances and Sun workstations.

Visit our Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com for a complete list of supported UNIX and Linux platforms.

After you have installed the drivers on your computer, you are ready to set up the printer. Go to “Unpack the printer” on page 9.

Step 3: Unpack the printer

Setting up a multifunction printer

Use the following table to locate the instructions you need to set up your printer and any paper handling options you may have purchased.

Installing a 2000-sheet drawer

Warning: If you have an optional

duplex unit and a 2000-sheet drawer, you must install a 500-sheet drawer between the duplex unit and the 2000-sheet drawer.

Note: You will install the power cord for

the 2000-sheet drawer later.

Your printer supports one optional 2000-sheet drawer.

1 Unpack the 2000-sheet drawer and remove any packing material. 2 Place the drawer in the location you have chosen for your printer. 3 If you are installing a 500-sheet drawer on top of the 2000-sheet drawer, attach

the stabilizing bars:

a Place the two stabilizing bars on the ground, narrow side up. b Lower the 2000-sheet drawer onto the bars, making sure you align the holes

in the drawer with the holes in the bars.

c Screw the bars into place using four screws (two screws for each bar). 4 Adjust the four leveling feet on the bottom of the drawer, if necessary. 5 Continue with “Installing a 500-sheet drawer” on page 12 or “Positioning the

printer” on page 13.

Set up the printer and paper handling options

Installing a 500-sheet drawer

Your printer supports up to three additional 500-sheet drawers. However, if you install a 2000-sheet drawer, you can only add one additional 500-sheet drawer.

Warning: If you have an optional

duplex unit and a 2000-sheet drawer, you must install a 500-sheet drawer between the duplex unit and the 2000-sheet drawer.

1 Unpack the 500-sheet drawer and remove any packing material.

2 Place the drawer in the location you have chosen for your printer or install it on

another drawer:

a Align the holes in the 500-sheet drawer with the positioning posts on the

lower drawer.

b Lower the 500-sheet drawer into place. Make sure it is seated securely on

the other drawer.

3 If you are installing a 500-sheet drawer on top of a 2000-sheet drawer, secure

them with stabilizing screws.

a Insert the screws through the holes next to the positioning posts on the

500-sheet drawer.

b Hand-tighten the screws.

Even when fully inserted, the screws allow some space between the drawers.

4 Install another 500-sheet drawer, or continue with “Installing a duplex unit” on

page 13 or “Positioning the printer” on page 13.
