Touch something metal on the printer before you touch a card. Resting posts Avoid touching the metal contacts on the connector. Save the packaging.
Installing an option card Install a MarkNet internal print server to add an Ethernet or Token-Ring port for connecting your printer to a network. Your printer has two connectors that support the following option cards: Install a MarkNet N2501e or N2401e internal print server if you received either of these cards as part of a multifunction printer upgrade.
3 Remove and save the two screws on the back of the printer that attach the metal plate to the slot. Remove and discard the plate. 4 Unpack the card. Save the packaging materials. 5 Align the connection points on the card with the connector on the system board and push the card firmly into the system board connector. 6 Insert the two screws saved from the metal plate (or the extra screws shipped with the card) into the holes. 7 Tighten the screws to secure the card.
Reattaching the shield and closing the doors After you have installed option cards on the printer system board, follow these steps to reattach the shield and close the doors. 1 Grasp the shield by the tabs and align the three keyholes on the shield with the top three screws. Holding the shield by the tabs, slide it down onto the screws. Tighten all six screws. 2 Close the side door. 3 Close the upper and lower front doors.

All paper trays are loaded in the same way. 1 Remove the paper tray. 2 Pull the width guide tab and slide the width guide to the far right side of the tray. 3 Squeeze the length guide lever and slide the length guide to the correct position for the size paper you are loading.
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 T522 printer. You can add a Token-Ring or 10Base2 Ethernet port by installing an optional MarkNet internal print server. To attach the printer to a network: 1 Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached devices are 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 USB port or parallel port. A USB port is standard on all printer models. The parallel port is standard on the base (nonnetwork) model. The parallel port requires an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable. We recommend Lexmark part number 1329605 (10 ft) or 1427498 (20 ft).
If you have installed an optional Tri-Port Adapter, 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 98/ Me and Windows 2000 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.

The network setup page prints and the printer returns to Ready status. 4 3 Go 5 Stop 6 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.
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 21. 2 Go to “Verifying the IP settings” on page 24 and begin with step 2.
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.
