Lexmark ImageQuick SIMM Setup Guide

Before you begin

Printer

requirements

The Lexmark™ ImageQuick™ SIMM is designed for
use with Lexmark Optra™ T, Optra C710, Optra

W810, and Lexmark C720 laser printers with a
minimum of 8MB memory. Additional memory or
a hard disk may be required for large or complex
jobs.

You need a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to install
the SIMM.

Print server

requirements

Your Optra T, Optra C710, Optra W810, or
Lexmark C720 printer must either be network­ready, or be equipped with one of the following
Lexmark MarkNet™ N2000 Series print servers:

• MarkNet N2000t, N2001e, or N2002e
Requires firmware version 3.12.19 or later.

• MarkNet N2501e or N2401e with OptraImage™
Requires firmware version 5.12.19 or later.

Note: If multiple print servers

are installed in your printer,
SIMM functionality is only sup­ported for one of them.

To determine your print server firmware version,
print a MarkNet network setup page. For more
information about upgrading firmware, launch the
Drivers, MarkVision™ and Utilities CD, click View
Documentation, and look for the MarkNet link.

The network print server must have TCP/IP
configured and enabled. Refer to your printer
setup manual or your print server manual for
TCP/IP configuration.

23

Lexmark ImageQuick SIMM Setup Guide

Step 4: Adjust print server

settings

1 Navigate your Web browser to the printer by

typing the IP address or full name of the printer
in the address line of your browser.

2 Pr ess Enter.

Note: See your network

administrator if you are
prompted for a password.

3 Click the Configuration tab in the left pane.
4 Under Print Server, in the right pane, click

TCP/IP.

5 Click Advanced Settings.
6 Scroll down to Pull Printing in the right pane.
7 Adjust the print server fields.

Print server fields • Local Domains. The Local Domains field is a

comma-, semicolon-, or space-delimited list of
domains or IP subnets used to specify which
addresses do not use the proxy server.

To specify an IP subnet, use asterisks to
represent the domain. For example, on a class B
network, enter 192.168.*.* to designate all hosts
within your domain as local.

To specify local domains, simply enter the
domain name. For example, to designate all
machines in the Lexmark domain as local, enter

24

Lexmark ImageQuick SIMM Setup Guide

lexmark.com. You can also specify
*.lexmark.com.

If a Web server's IP address is specified (and if a
proxy server is not set), the printer connects
directly to that server. The printer does not need
a Domain Name Server (DNS).

If the proxy server is set, the host name or IP
address is first checked against the Local
Domains list. If it matches, the printer attempts
to look up host names by way of DNS if set, and
connects directly to IP addresses.

If the host name or IP address does not match
any of the entries in the Local Domains field, the
printer connects to the host through the
specified proxy server.

• DNS IP Address. The DNS translates the Web
server name in the URL into its corresponding
IP address. If no DNS is available and no proxy
is configured, then you can only use IP
addresses for pull printing.

• HTTP Proxy IP Address. This is the IP address
of the system serving as the network proxy for
HTTP requests.

• FTP Proxy IP Address. This is the IP address of
the system ser ving as th e netw ork pr oxy fo r FTP
requests.

• HTTP Proxy Port. This is the IP port number
that the print server uses when attempting to
communicate with the HTTP proxy. The default
port number is 80 and is typically not changed.

• FTP Proxy Port. This is the IP port number that
the print server uses when attempting to

25

Lexmark ImageQuick SIMM Setup Guide

communicate with the FTP proxy. The default
port number is 21 and is typically not changed.

• Timeout for HTTP/FTP requests. This field
defines how long (in seconds) the server waits
for a reply to an HTTP or FTP request.

• Retries. The Retries field specifies the maximum
number of attempts that the printer makes to
pull a file. The printer retries on timeouts,
refused or unexpectedly broken connections,
and proxy errors.

Tip for print server

configuration

If the print server’s Pull Printing settings have not
been configured (that is, no DNS IP address has
been set and the HTTP and FTP proxy addresses
have not been set), the print server can still “pull”
Web pages from Web servers that reside on the
same IP subnet as the print server. The only
requirement is that the pull print URL be in
dotted-IP address format (for example,
http://192.168.12.99/printpage.html).

Troubleshooting

My Lexmark

ImageQuick SIMM

doesn’t work.

• The Lexmark ImageQuick SIMM is only
compatible with specific Lexmark printers.
Verify that you installed the SIMM in the
appropriate printer. (See page 1 for a list of
compatible printers.)

• The SIMM may not be inserted into the
connector correctly. Remove the SIMM and
reinstall it. (See “Install the ImageQuick SIMM”
beginning on page 5 for help.)

I don’t know my

printer’s IP address.

Print the network setup page:

1 From the printer operator panel, press Menu>

until UTILITIES MENU appears.

2 Pr ess Select.
3 Pr ess Menu> until PRINT NETx SETUP

appears.

UTILITIES MENU is on the first line, and
PRINT NETx SETUP is on the second line.

4 Pr ess Select.
5 Look for the IP address under the TCP/IP

section on the page that prints.

If your IP address has not been set, refer to your
print server manual for the appropriate steps.
