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 stan-
dard network cables.
A 10BaseT/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet port is standard
on the Lexmark T622n. You can add a Token-Ring or
10Base2 Ethernet port to either printer model by
installing an optional MarkNet internal print server.
To attach the printer to a network:
1 Make sure the printer is turned off and
2 Connect the printer to a LAN drop or hub using
unplugged.
standard cabling that is compatible with your
network.
The printer automatically adjusts itself for the
network speed.
– Token-Ring, Ethernet 10BaseT, or Ether-
net 100BaseTX networks (Category 5)
use an RJ-45 connector.
24
– 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 standard USB port or parallel port. A USB
port is standard on all printer models. We recommend Lexmark USB cable part number
12A2405 (2 m). The standard parallel port
requires an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel
cable. We recommend Lexmark parallel cable
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.
If you have installed an optional Tri-Port
Adapter, or if you are using a non-network
25
model, 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
2000/98/Me 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’s functions.
26
– 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 T620/T622 Publications CD for instructions on clearing the message. Click Printing, and
then click Understanding printer messages.
3 Go to “Printing a menu settings page” on page 28. If
you attached the printer to a network, see“Printing a
network setup page”.
Note: You can change the language that appears on the
operator panel display. Refer to the Lexmark
T620/T622 Publications CD for instructions.
Printing a network setup page If the printer is attached to a network, print a network
setup page to verify the network connection. This page
also provides important information that will help you configure for network printing.

sizes and types of paper you loaded in the printer.
Step 6: Configure for TCP/IP
If you have TCP/IP available on your network, we recommend that you assign an
IP address to the printer.
Setting the printer
IP address
If your network is using DHCP, an address is automatically assigned.
1 Look for the address under the TCP/IP heading on the network setup page
you printed in “Printing a network setup page” on page 27.
2 Go to “Verifying the IP settings” on page 30 and begin with step 2.
Note: You can find instructions for other methods of setting the IP address in the
online documentation on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.

4 Press Menu until you see TCP/IP, and then press Select.
5 Press Menu until you see Set IP Address, and then press Select.
6 Change the address by pressing Menu to increase (or decrease) each
number. Press Select to move to the next segment. Press Select when you
are finished.
The message Saved appears briefly.
7 Press Menu until you see Set IP Netmask, and then press Select.
8 Repeat step 6 to set the IP Netmask.
9 Press Menu until you see Set IP Gateway, and then press Select.
10 Repeat step 6 to set the IP Gateway.
11 When you are finished, press Go to return the printer to the Ready state.

Verifying the IP
settings
1 Print another network setup page and make sure the IP Address, Netmask,
and Gateway are what you expected.
Use the information in “Printing a network setup page” on page 27 if you
need help.
2 Ping the printer and verify that it responds.
For example, at a command prompt on a network computer type “ping” fol-
lowed by the new printer IP address:
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
If the printer is active on the network, you should receive a reply.
Configure for Pull
Printing
(ImageQuick)
If your printer has an ImageQuick™ optional firmware card installed, you can configure for Pull Printing once an IP address has been assigned to your printer.
For detailed configuration instructions, refer to the online documentation on the
ImageQuick CD. The ImageQuick CD is shipped with printers that have the
ImageQuick optional firmware card pre-installed, and also with the firmware card if
you purchased it separately.
