Step 8: Attach cables CAUTION: Do not connect or disconnect a communication port, a teleport, or any other connector during a lightning storm. The printer can be attached to a network or directly to a computer to print locally. Attaching a local cable You can attach your printer locally using either a USB, parallel, or serial connection. USB A USB port is standard on all models. Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP operating systems support USB connections.
Parallel A parallel port is included on base printer models. A parallel port requires an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable such as Lexmark part number 1329605 (3 m [10 ft]). Serial A serial port can be attached through the INA port on the printer system board. A serial port requires a compatible serial cable such as Lexmark part number 1038693.
Attaching a network cable You can attach your printer to a network using standard network cables. Ethernet A 10BaseT/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet port is standard on the network model. To attach the printer to a network: 1 2 Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged. Plug one end of the standard network cable into a LAN drop or hub and the other end into the Ethernet port on the back of the printer. The printer automatically adjusts for the network speed.
Turning your printer on Follow these instructions to turn your printer on. 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. After the printer completes its internal tests, the Ready message indicates that the printer is ready to receive jobs. If you see a message other than Ready on the display, refer to the publications CD for instructions on clearing the message.
Step 9: Install drivers for local printing g A local printer is a printer attached to your computer using a USB or parallel cable. If your printer is attached to a network instead of your computer, skip this step and go to Step 10: “Verify printer setup” on page 44. Note: For Windows operating systems, you can skip the hardware wizard and use the drivers CD to install your printer drivers. Launch the CD and follow the instructions to install printer software.
Windows In addition to the following driver installation instructions, you may need to refer to the documentation that shipped with your computer and your Windows software. Before you install Some versions of Windows software may already have a system printer driver for this printer included. This may mean that installation will seem automatic in later versions of Windows. System drivers work well for simple printing, but they contain less functionality than our enhanced custom driver.
Using Windows 2000 with USB or parallel cable Note: You need administrative access to install printer drivers on your computer. When the Found New Hardware Wizard screen appears: 1 Insert the drivers CD. If the CD auto launches, exit the CD. Click Next. 2 3 4 Select Search for a suitable driver, and then click Next.

Step 10: Verify printer setup The Menu Settings page lists all the options you installed. If a feature or an option is not listed, check your installation. The Network Setup page provides information that is needed if you are attaching your printer to a network. This is also a good time to print Quick Reference and Clearing Jams information. See ”Printing Quick Reference information” on page 45.
Note: When you add or remove these options: 530-sheet tray, duplex unit, printer or flash memory, or firmware card, remember to update the printer configuration through your printer driver. Printing a network setup page If an option you installed is not listed, turn the printer off, unplug the power cord, and reinstall the option.

When you are finished, press Go to return the printer to the Ready state. Print another network setup page. Look under the “TCP/IP” heading and make sure the IP address, netmask, and gateway are what you expected.
Step 12: Install drivers for network printing After you have assigned and verified the TCP/IP settings, you are ready to install the printer on each network computer. Windows In Windows environments, network printers can be configured for direct printing or shared printing. Both network printing methods require the installation of a printer driver and the creation of a network printer port.
