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.

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 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.
UAA: XX XX XX XX XX XX
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.

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
1 Click Apple menu ΠSystem Preferences.
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.

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.
Networking the printer
9
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.

• Easier setup
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.

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.
Know your security keys
To set up your printer for wireless printing, you need the following information:
• Know the name (SSID) of your wireless network.
• If your wireless network uses a security scheme, make sure you know the password that was used to keep your
network secure. This password is also known as a security key, WEP key, or WPA key.
Note: If you do not know this information, see the documentation that came with the wireless network, or contact
the person who set up your wireless network.
Use the table below to write down the information you need to know.
Item
Description
SSID (name of your network)
Security key (password)
• Make sure you copy down the security key exactly, including any capital letters, and store it in a safe place for
future reference.
The security key must follow the following criteria:
WEP key
– Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F and 0–9.
– Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard.
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK key
– Up to 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F and 0–9.
– Between 8 and 64 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
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.
An installation cable is also known as a USB cable.
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.

you. (If you are not sure which side is the printable side, see the instructions that came with the paper.)
• The paper is not used or damaged.
• If you are using specialty paper, you follow the instructions that came with it.
• You do not force paper into the printer.

load up to:
• 100 sheets of plain paper
• 25 sheets of heavyweight matte paper
• 25 sheets of photo paper
• 25 sheets of glossy paper

of the paper.
Note: To avoid paper jams, make sure the paper does not buckle when you adjust the paper guides.

digital camera
Make sure paper size is set correctly
The printer issues the Paper or Photo Size Errorwhen your chosen photo size does not match the paper
size that is set. This typically happens when you are trying to print from a PictBridge-enabled digital camera. You
may have left the printer control panel Photo Size menu item setting at 8.5 x 11”or 5 x 7”size, but your camera
setting has print size of 4 x 6”or L. You need to make sure your chosen photo size is 4 x 6”or 10 x 15 cm,
depending on the typically used photo size for your country or region.
• Make sure the 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) photo paper is loaded correctly.
• If your camera lets you change the print size setting, change the print size selection to 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) on
the PictBridge-enabled digital camera.
• If your camera does not allow you to change the paper size setting, use the control panel to change the paper
size to 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm).

Power Saver
This product is designed with an energy-saving mode called Power Saver. The Power Saver Mode is equivalent to
the EPA Sleep Mode. The Power Saver Mode saves energy by lowering power consumption during extended periods
of inactivity. The Power Saver Mode is automatically engaged after this product is not used for a specified period of
time, called the Power Saver Timeout.
Factory default Power Saver Timeout for this product (in minutes):
60
Off mode
If this product has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely stop product power
consumption, disconnect the power supply cord from the wall outlet.
Total energy usage
It is sometimes helpful to calculate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims are provided
in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the product spends in each mode
in order to calculate energy usage. The total product energy usage is the sum of each mode's energy usage.
