information, see the instruction sheet that came with the wireless network adapter.

• Make sure your access point (wireless router) is turned on and is working properly.

Make sure you have the following information before setting up the printer on a wireless network:

• SSID—The SSID is also referred to as the network name.

• Wireless Mode (or Network Mode)—The mode is either infrastructure or ad hoc.

• Channel (for ad hoc networks)—The channel defaults to automatic for infrastructure networks.

Some ad hoc networks will also require the automatic setting. Check with your system support person if you are not sure which channel to select.

• Security Method—There are four basic options for Security Method: – WEP key

If your network uses more than one WEP key, then enter up to four in the provided spaces. Select the key currently in use on the network by selecting the default WEP transmit key.

– WPA or WPA2 preshared key or passphrase

Statement of Volatility

Your printer contains various types of memory that can store device and network settings, and user data.

Type of memory Description

Volatile memory Your printer uses standard random access memory (RAM) to

temporarily buffer user data during simple print jobs.

Non-volatile memory Your printer may use two forms of non-volatile memory:

EEPROM and NAND (flash memory). Both types are used to store operating system, device settings, and network information.

Erase the content of any installed printer memory in the following circumstances:

• The printer is being decommissioned.

• The printer is being moved to a different department or location.

• The printer is being serviced by someone from outside your organization.

• The printer is being removed from your premises for service.

• The printer is being sold to another organization.

Erasing volatile memory

The volatile memory (RAM) installed in your printer requires a power source to retain information. To erase the buffered data, turn off the printer.

Erasing non‑volatile memory

Erase individual settings, device and network settings, security settings, and embedded solutions by following these steps:

1 Turn off the printer.

2 Hold down 2 and 6 on the keypad while turning the printer on. Release the buttons only when the screen with the

progress bar appears. The printer performs a power-on sequence, and then the Configuration menu appears. When the printer is fully

turned on, a list of functions appears on the printer display.

3 Press the up or down arrow button until Wipe All Settings appears.

The printer will restart several times during this process.

Note: Wipe All Settings securely removes device settings, solutions, jobs, and passwords from the printer memory.

4 Navigate to:

Back > Exit Config Menu

The printer will perform a power‑on reset, and then return to normal operating mode.

Changing port settings after installing a new network Internal Solutions Port

When a new Lexmark Internal Solutions Port (ISP) is installed in the printer, the printer configurations on computers that access the printer must be updated since the printer will be assigned a new IP address. All computers that access the printer must be updated with this new IP address.

Notes:

• If the printer has a static IP address, then you do not need to make any changes to the computer configurations.

• If the computers are configured to use the network name, instead of an IP address, then you do not need to

make any changes to your computer configurations.

• If you are adding a wireless ISP to a printer previously configured for an Ethernet connection, then make sure

the printer is disconnected from the Ethernet network when you configure the printer to operate wirelessly. If the printer is connected to the Ethernet network, then the wireless configuration completes, but the wireless ISP is inactive. To activate the wireless ISP, disconnect the printer from the Ethernet network, turn off the printer, and then turn it back on.

• Only one network connection is active at a time. To switch between Ethernet and wireless connection types,

turn off the printer, connect the cable (to switch to an Ethernet connection) or disconnect the cable (to switch to a wireless connection), and then turn the printer back on.
