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 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 unplugged.
– 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).
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.
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.
1 Press Menu until you see Utilities Menu, and then press Select. 2 Press Menu until you see Print Net Setup, and then press Select to print the page. The network setup page prints and the printer returns to Ready status. 3 Check the first section on the network setup page and confirm that Status is “Connected.” Note: If an optional MarkNet card is installed in slot 1, you see Print Net1 Setup. If the card is installed in slot 2, you see Print Net2 Setup.
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.
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” followed by the new printer IP address: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xx If the printer is active on the network, you should receive a reply.
Step 7: Install printer drivers A printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer. The following table is a quick guide to finding the specific instructions you need.
