Networking

Notes:

• Purchase a MarkNet N8350 wireless network adapter before setting up the printer on a wireless

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

• A Service Set Identiﬁer (SSID) is a name assigned to a wireless network. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP),

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and 802.1X-RADIUS are types of security used on a network.

Preparing to set up the printer on an Ethernet network

To conﬁgure your printer to connect to an Ethernet network, organize the following information before you begin:

Page 41

Additional printer setup 41

Note: If your network automatically assigns IP addresses to computers and printers, continue on to installing the printer.

• A valid, unique IP address for the printer to use on the network

• The network gateway

• The network mask

• A nickname for the printer (optional)

Note: A printer nickname can make it easier for you to identify your printer on the network. You can choose to use the default printer nickname, or assign a name that is easier for you to remember.

You will need an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network and an available port where the printer can physically connect to the network. Use a new network cable when possible to avoid potential problems caused by a damaged cable.

Preparing to set up the printer on a wireless network

Notes:

• Make sure your wireless network adapter is installed in your printer and working properly. For more

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

WPA includes encryption as an additional layer of security. The choices are AES or TKIP. Encryption must be set for the same type on the router and on the printer, or the printer will not be able to communicate on the network.

– 802.1X–RADIUS

If you are installing the printer on an 802.1X network, then you may need the following:

• Authentication type

• Inner authentication type

• 802.1X user name and password

• Certiﬁcates

– No security

If your wireless network does not use any type of security, then you will not have any security information.

Note: We do not recommend using an unsecured wireless network.

Page 42

Additional printer setup 42

Notes:

– If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then launch the wireless

utility of the computer network adapter, and then look for the network name. If you cannot ﬁnd the SSID or the security information for your network, then see the documentation that came with the access point, or contact your system support person.

Paper guidelines

Paper characteristics

The following paper characteristics aect print quality and reliability. Consider these factors before printing on them:

Weight

The printer trays can feed paper weights between 60–256 g/m2 (16–68‑lb) grain long paper. The multipurpose feeder can feed paper weights between 60–256 g/m

(16 lb) might not be

Note: Two‑sided printing is supported for 60–169 g/m

enough to feed properly, and may cause jams.

sti

(16–68‑lb) grain long paper. Paper lighter than 60 g/m

(16–45‑lb) paper.

Curl

Curl is the tendency for paper to curl at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems. Curl can occur after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in hot, humid, cold, or dry conditions, even in the trays, can contribute to paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding problems.

Smoothness

Paper smoothness directly aects print quality. If paper is too rough, toner cannot fuse to it properly. If paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. Always use paper between 100 and 200 Sheeld points.

Moisture content

The amount of moisture in paper aects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper correctly. Leave paper in its original wrapper until it is time to use it. This limits the exposure of paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.

Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before printing. Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.

Most high‑quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This content provides the paper with a high degree of stability, resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing ﬁbers such as cotton can negatively aect paper handling.

Selecting paper

Using the appropriate paper prevents jams and helps ensure trouble‑free printing.

To help avoid paper jams and poor print quality:

• Always use new, undamaged paper.

• Before loading paper, know the recommended printable side of the paper. This information is usually

indicated on the paper package.

• Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.

• Do not mix paper sizes, types, or weights in the same tray; mixing results in jams.

• Do not use coated papers unless they are speciﬁcally designed for electrophotographic printing.

Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead

• Use grain long for 60–256‑g/m

• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an oset lithographic or engraved printing process.

• Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

• Use inks that are not aected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation‑set or oil‑based generally meet

these requirements; latex inks might not.

• Print samples on preprinted forms and letterheads considered for use before buying large quantities. This

determines whether or not the ink in the preprinted form or letterhead will aect print quality.

• When in doubt, contact your paper supplier.

Using recycled paper and other oce papers

As an environmentally conscientious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled paper produced speciﬁcally for use in laser (electrophotographic) printers.

While no blanket statement can be made that all recycled paper will feed well, Lexmark consistently tests papers that represent recycled cut size copier papers available on the global market. This scientiﬁc testing is conducted with rigor and discipline. Many factors are taken into consideration both separately and as a whole, including the following:

• Amount of post-consumer waste (Lexmark tests up to 100% post-consumer waste content.)

• Temperature and humidity conditions (Testing chambers simulate climates from all over the world.)

• Moisture content (Business papers should have low moisture: 4–5%.)

• Bending resistance and proper stiness means optimum feeding through the printer.

Page 57

Paper and specialty media guide 57

• Thickness (impacts how much can be loaded into a tray)

• Surface roughness (measured in Sheeld units, impacts print clarity and how well toner fuses to the paper)

• Surface friction (determines how easily sheets can be separated)

• Grain and formation (impacts curling, which also inﬂuences the mechanics of how the paper behaves as it

moves through the printer)

• Brightness and texture (look and feel)

Recycled papers are better than ever; however, the amount of recycled content in a paper of control over foreign matter. And while recycled papers are one good path to printing in an environmentally responsible manner, they are not perfect. The energy required to de-ink and deal with additives such as colorants and “glue” often generates more carbon emissions than does normal paper production. However, using recycled papers enables better resource management overall.

Lexmark concerns itself with the responsible use of paper in general based on life cycle assessments of its products. To gain a better understanding of the impact of printers on the environment, the company commissioned a number of life cycle assessments and found that paper was identiﬁed as the primary contributor (up to 80%) of carbon emissions caused throughout the entire life of a device (from design to end-of-life). This is due to the energy-intensive manufacturing processes required to make paper.

Thus, Lexmark seeks to educate customers and partners on minimizing the impact of paper. Using recycled paper is one way. Eliminating excessive and unnecessary paper consumption is another. Lexmark is wellequipped to help customers minimize printing and copying waste. In addition, the company encourages purchasing paper from suppliers who demonstrate their commitment to sustainable forestry practices.

Lexmark does not endorse speciﬁc suppliers, although a converter’s product list for special applications is maintained. However, the following paper choice guidelines will help alleviate the environmental impact of printing:

the degree

1 Minimize paper consumption.

2 Be selective about the origin of wood ﬁber. Buy from suppliers who carry certiﬁcations such as the Forestry

Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certiﬁcation (PEFC). These certiﬁcations guarantee that the paper manufacturer uses wood pulp from forestry operators that employ environmentally and socially responsible forest management and restoration practices.

3 Choose the most appropriate paper for printing needs: normal 75 or 80 g/m

paper, or recycled paper.

certiﬁed paper, lower weight

Unacceptable paper examples

Test results indicate that the following paper types are at risk for use with laser printers:

• Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers

• Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer

• Preprinted papers that can be aected by the temperature in the printer fuser

• Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise location on the page) greater than ± 2.3 mm (±

0.9 in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms. In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software application to successfully print on these forms.)

• Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers

• Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled papers

• Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European testing)

• Paper weighing less than 60 g/m

• Multiple part forms or documents

(16 lb)

Storing paper

Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:

• For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40 percent.

Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent.

• Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the ﬂoor.

• Store individual packages on a

surface.

ﬂat

• Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.

• Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and

wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and ﬂat.
