Networking the printer

General networking

Networking overview

A network is a collection of devices such as computers, printers, Ethernet hubs, wireless access points, and routers
connected together for communication through cables or through a wireless connection. A network can be either
wired, wireless, or designed to have both wired and wireless devices.

Devices on a wired network use cables to communicate with each other.
Devices on a wireless network use radio waves instead of cables to communicate with each other. For a device to

be able to communicate wirelessly, it must have a wireless print server attached or installed that enables it to receive
and transmit radio waves.

Common home network configurations

For desktop computers, laptops, and printers to communicate with each other over a network, they must be
connected by cables and/or have wireless network adapters built in or installed in them.

There are different ways a network can be set up. Five common examples appear below.

Note: The printers in the following diagrams represent Lexmark printers with Lexmark internal print servers built in
or installed in them so that they can communicate over a network. Lexmark internal print servers are devices made
by Lexmark to enable Lexmark printers to be connected to wired or wireless networks.

Wired network example

• A computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected by Ethernet cables to a hub, router, or switch.

• The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem.

Internet

Wireless network examples

Four common wireless networks appear below:

• Scenario 1: Laptop and printer connected wirelessly with Internet

• Scenario 2: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly with Internet

• Scenario 3: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without Internet

• Scenario 4: Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet

Scenario 1: Laptop and printer connected wirelessly with Internet

•

A computer is connected to a wireless router by an Ethernet cable.

• A laptop and a printer are connected wirelessly to the router.

• The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem.

Scenario 3: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without Internet

•

A computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected wirelessly to a wireless access point.

• The network has no connection to the Internet.

Scenario 4: Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet

A laptop is directly connected wirelessly to a printer without going through a wireless router.

•

• The network has no connection to the Internet.

Finding the MAC address

Most network equipment has a unique hardware identification number to distinguish it from other devices on the
network. This is called the Media Access Control (MAC) address.

If your printer has a factory installed internal wireless print server, the MAC address is a series of letters and numbers
located on the back of your printer.

If you purchased the internal wireless print server separately, the MAC address appears on an adhesive label that
came with the wireless print server. Attach the adhesive label to your printer so you will be able to find the MAC
address when you need it.

Note: A list of MAC addresses can be set on a router so that only devices with matching MAC addresses can be
allowed to operate on the network. This is called MAC filtering. If MAC filtering is enabled in your router and you
want to add a printer to your network, the MAC address of the printer must be included in the MAC filter list.

Printing a network setup page

A network setup page lists your network configuration settings.

Note: You can print a network setup page only when an internal wireless print server is installed in the printer.
To print a network setup page:

1 From the control panel of the printer, press or repeatedly until Setup is highlighted.

2 Press .

3 Press or repeatedly until Network Setup is highlighted.

4 Press .

5 Press or repeatedly until Print Network Setup Page is highlighted.

Finding a printer/print server located on remote subnets

The printer software CD can automatically find the printers that are located on the same network as the computer.
If the printer and print server are located on another network (called a subnet), you must manually enter an IP address
during printer software installation.

Wireless networking

IP addresses

Finding IP addresses

An IP address is a unique number used by devices on an IP network to locate and communicate with each other.
Devices on an IP network can only communicate with each other if they have unique and valid IP addresses. A
unique IP address means no two devices on the same network have the same IP address.

How to locate a printer's IP address

You can locate the printer's IP address by printing out the printer's network setup page.

How to locate a computer's IP address

Click Apple menu  System Preferences.

1

2 Click Network.

3 From the Show pop-up menu, select Airport.

4 Click TCP/IP.

The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.100.

Assigning an IP address

An IP address may be assigned by the network using DHCP. The print object, created at the end of the installation,
sends all print jobs across the network to the printer using this address.

Many networks have the ability to automatically assign an IP address. Auto-IP is the ability for individual devices to
assign themselves a unique IP address. Most networks use DHCP to assign addresses.

Finding the signal strength

Wireless devices have built-in antennas that transmit and receive radio signals. The signal strength listed on the
printer network setup page indicates how strongly a transmitted signal is being received. Many factors can affect
the signal strength. One factor is interference from other wireless devices or even other devices such as microwave
ovens. Another factor is distance. The farther two wireless devices are from each other, the more likely it is that the
communication signal will be weaker.

Sharing the printer on a network

To let other Macintosh computers on your network that use Mac OS X version 10.3 or later use any printer connected
to your Macintosh computer:

1 Click Apple menu  System Preferences.

2 Click Print & Fax.

3 From the Sharing tab, select Share these printers with other computers.

Note: If necessary, click the lock so you can make changes.

4 Select the printer(s) you want to share with other computers.

To let Windows computers on your network use any printer connected to your Macintosh computer:

5 Click Show All, and then click Sharing.

6 From the Services tab, select Windows Sharing.

Note: Windows users should see the Windows documentation for information on adding a network printer connected

to a Macintosh computer.

Types of wireless networks

Networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure or ad hoc. Lexmark recommends setting up a network in
infrastructure mode using the installation CD that came with the printer.

A wireless network where each device communicates with others through a wireless access point (wireless router)
is set up in infrastructure mode. All devices must have valid IP addresses and share the same SSID and channel.
In addition, they must share the same SSID and channel as the wireless access point (wireless router).

A simple type of wireless network is one where a PC with a wireless adapter communicates directly with a printer
equipped for wireless networking. This mode of communication is called ad hoc. A device in this type of network
must have a valid IP address and be set to ad hoc mode. The wireless print server must also be configured with the
same SSID and channel.

Networking the printer

Installing and configuring a printer for use on a network lets users at different computers print to a common printer.
There are two methods for networking this printer:

• Configure a wireless network connection for the printer.

Note: To set up the printer, use a computer that connects wirelessly to the network. The printer must be near

the computer you will be using to configure it. After configuration, the printer can be moved to the location where
it will reside.

• Connect the printer directly to a network computer using the USB cable, and enable it to be shared across the

network (printer sharing).
Note: Refer to Mac Help for details on how to share your printer across the network.

Why do I need an installation cable?

When you set up the printer on your wireless network, you will need to temporarily connect the printer to a computer
using the installation cable. This temporary connection is used to set up the wireless settings of the printer.

Installing the printer on a network

Follow the instructions for the networking method you want to use. Make sure the selected network is set up and
working properly, and that all relevant devices are turned on. For more information on your specific network, see
your network documentation or consult the person who set up the network.

Installing the printer on additional network computers

If you are installing your network printer for use with multiple computers on the network, insert the installation CD
into each additional computer, and follow the instructions on the computer screen.

• You do not need to repeat the connection steps for each computer you want to print to the printer.

• The printer should appear as a highlighted printer in the installation. If multiple printers appear in the list, make

sure you select the printer with the correct IP address/MAC address.

Getting started

Choosing a fax connection

You can connect the printer with equipment such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer modem. If
problems occur, see the topics listed under “Setup troubleshooting” in the “Troubleshooting” chapter.

Notes:

• The printer is an analog device that works best when directly connected to the wall jack.

• Other devices (such as a telephone or answering machine) can be successfully attached to pass through the

printer, as described in the setup steps.

• If you want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL, a third-party device (such as a DSL filter) is

required. For more information, see “Using a digital phone service” on page 70.

You do not need to attach the printer to a computer, but you do need to connect it to a telephone line to send and
receive faxes.

You can connect the printer to other equipment. See the following table to determine the best way to set up the
printer.
