Getting the printer ready to fax
The following connection methods may not be applicable in all countries or regions.
CAUTION: Do not use the fax feature during a lightning storm. Do not set up this product or make any electrical
or cabling connections, such as the power supply cord or telephone, during a lightning storm.
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 “Setup troubleshooting” on page 149.
Note: 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.
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.

Networking the printer
Installing network printers
Networking the printer
Installing and configuring a printer for use on a network allows users at different computers to print to a common printer.
There are three methods for networking the printer:
• Connect the printer to a network router using a direct Ethernet connection.
• Configure a wireless network connection for the printer.
• Connect the printer directly to a network computer using the USB cable and enable it to be shared across the
network (peer-to-peer sharing).
Notes:
– If you want to use an external print server (Lexmark
installation instructions and User's Guide that came with the device.
– For wireless setup purposes, 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.
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.
TM
n4000e, n4050e, or MarkNetTM n7000 series), see the
Installing the printer on additional network computers
If you are installing your network printer for use with multiple computers on the network, you must repeat the connection
steps for each computer you want to print to the printer. Repeat the steps for “Using an Ethernet connection” on
page 29, “Using a wireless network connection” on page 28, or “Shared printing” on page 29 depending on the
networking method you have chosen.
Notes:
• You do not need to reconnect the printer with the USB cable for each additional installation.
• If you are using a wireless network connection, you do not need to reconfigure the wireless print server for each
successive installation.
• The printer should appear as a highlighted printer in the installation. If multiple printers show up in the list, make
sure you select the printer with the correct IP address/MAC address. If you need help finding the IP or MAC address,
see “Finding your MAC address” on page 31.
