Conventions
This Setup Guide contains all the information you need to
set up your new Optra C710 Color Laser Printer. This
manual provides detailed instructions for unpacking your
printer, installing options, loading paper or media in the
trays or multipurpose feeder, and launching the CD to
install printer drivers and utilities.
A handy feature included with your manual is the step or
procedural information located on the bottom of each
page next to the page number. When searching for a topic,
use this handy reference feature to quickly locate the
information you need.
The easy step-by-step format of the manual lets you concentrate on printer setup without burdening you with
details about printer features or functions.
When you have completed setup and find you need more
information about your printer, refer to the User’s Guide. It
provides information about printer settings, color functions, media specifications, printer supplies, memory
requirements, and solving printer problems.
It may help you to recognize the conventions we have
used in this book:
• Operator panel buttons are printed in a boldface
type for example:

MarkVision can be used to download fonts, symbol sets,
and macros to flash memory.
Information stored in flash memory is retained when the
printer is turned off. You can buy flash memory cards with
2MB, 4MB, 8MB, or 16MB of flash memory.

connect the printer to a Local Area Network (LAN). MarkNet N2000 print servers support the following:
• Ethernet 10BaseT and 10Base2
• Ethernet 10/100BaseTX
• Token-Ring
The tri-port adapter provides connectors for the following:
• Serial interface (RS-232C or RS-422), which can also
serve as a receive-only fax port
• LocalTalk network
• An infrared adapter
The parallel port adapter provides an additional
parallel port. Its IEEE 1284C connector requires a
1284 A–C cable. You can purchase a 3 m (9.8 ft) cable, Lexmark part number 43H5171, meeting these specifications.
Refer to the documentation that came with your adapter
for more information.
There are three available option slots on your interconnect
board. All option slots support network, tri-port, parallel
