Step 4: Attach cables

You can attach your printer to a network or locally (directly
to a computer).

Network printing You can attach your printer to a network using standard

network cables.

A 10BaseT/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet port is standard on
the Lexmark T522 printer. You can add a Token-Ring or
10Base2 Ethernet port by installing an optional MarkNet
internal print server.

To attach the printer to a network:

1 Make sure the printer, computer, and any other

attached devices are turned off and unplugged.

2 Connect the printer to a LAN drop or hub using

standard cabling that is compatible with your
network.

The printer automatically adjusts itself for the net­work speed.

– Token-Ring, Ethernet 10BaseT, or Ethernet

100BaseTX networks (Category 5) use an
RJ-45 connector.

18

– Token-Ring networks (Shielded Twisted Pair)

use a DB9 connector.

– Ethernet 10Base2 networks (Thin Coax) use

a BNC T-connector.

Local printing You can attach your printer locally using either the USB

port or parallel port. A USB port is standard on all printer
models. The parallel port is standard on the base (non­network) model. The parallel port requires an IEEE-1284
compliant parallel cable. We recommend Lexmark part
number 1329605 (10 ft) or 1427498 (20 ft).

If you add a parallel port by installing an optional USB/Par­allel Interface Card, you need a 1284 A-C parallel cable,
such as Lexmark part number 43H5171 (9.8 ft).

Note: Some UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh computers also

support USB connections. Consult your computer
documentation to see if your system supports USB.

19

If you have installed an optional Tri-Port Adapter, you can
locally attach the printer with a serial cable. We recom­mend Lexmark part number 1038693 (50 ft). For details
on LocalTalk or infrared connections, refer to the docu­mentation that shipped with the Tri-Port Adapter.

Note: All Windows operating systems support parallel

cable connections. However, only the Windows 98/
Me and Windows 2000 operating systems support
USB cable connections.

To attach the printer to a computer:

1 Make sure the printer, computer, and any other

attached devices are turned off and unplugged.

2 Connect the printer to the computer using a parallel

or USB cable.

– Use an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable to

ensure that you can access all of your printer
functions.

20

– Be sure to match the USB symbol on the

cable to the USB symbol on the printer.

Step 5: Verify printer setup

Turning on the printer 1 Plug one end of the printer power cord into the

socket at the back of the printer and the other end
into a properly grounded outlet.

2 Turn on the printer. If the printer is attached locally

(directly to a computer), leave the computer and any
other attached devices turned off. You will turn
these on in a later step.

The printer requires time to warm up after you turn it
on. During this period, the message Performing
Self Test appears on the operator panel display.

After the printer completes its internal tests, the
Ready message indicates the printer is ready to
receive jobs.

If you see other messages on the display, refer to
the Lexmark T522 Publications CD for instructions
on clearing the message. Click Printing, and then
click Understanding printer messages.

each network client using the LaserWriter 8 printer driver
and the Lexmark T522 PostScript Printer Description
(PPD) file.

Specific information about installing the printer on your
AppleTalk network is found in the online documentation on
the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.

UNIX/Linux Your printer supports many UNIX platforms, such as Sun

Solaris and Linux.

Note: The Sun Solaris package is located both on the

drivers CD and on the Lexmark Web site at
www.lexmark.com/drivers.

Lexmark provides a printer driver package for each sup­ported UNIX platform containing all the necessary drivers
and PPDs. The user’s guide contained in each package
gives detailed instructions for installing and using Lexmark
printers in UNIX environments.

You can download these printer driver packages from Lex­mark’s Web site at www.lexmark.com/drivers. Depending
on which drivers CD shipped with your printer, you may
also find the driver package you need on the CD.

NetWare Your Lexmark T522 printer works with both Novell Distrib-

uted Print Services (NDPS) and regular queue-based Net­Ware environments.

Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS)

If you have an NDPS environment, we recommend you
install the Lexmark NDPS IP Gateway. The gateway tightly
integrates your printers with NDPS so you can easily mon­itor, control, and print to them.

You can get the gateway, the snap-ins, the support files,
and a white paper with installation instructions on the Web
at www.lexmark.com/networking/ndps.html.

Additional information about network printer installation
can be found at www.lexmark.com/publications or on the
drivers CD that shipped with your printer.

Non-NDPS (queue-based)
