Step 1: Install the print server
Install the Lexmark™MarkNet™ internal print server in an open option card slot inside your printer.
If you need help, refer to the Setup Guide that shipped with your printer for instructions about accessing the printer system board, installing option cards, and reinstalling the printer system board.
Copies of your printer publications are available on Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Step 2: Attach a network cable
Note: The print server inside the printer automatically adjusts itself for the network speed.
Attach the printer to your network using an Ethernet or Token-Ring network cable.
1 Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged.
2 Connect the printer to a LAN drop or hub. Use network cabling that is compatible with your network and your print server.
See the following illustrations for information about ports and cables.
Important: Use only one network port on the MarkNet card even if multiple ports are available.
MarkNet N2000, N2001, and N2002 models
Use these print servers to attach printers to an Ethernet or a Token-Ring network.
Important: If you choose not to use the BNC port on the MarkNet N2002e, leave the end cap on the port to protect the card from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
MarkNet N2001e
10/100BaseTX Ethernet
MarkNet N2002e
10BaseTX or 10BaseT/2 Ethernet
MarkNet N2000t

Step 3: Assign an IP address
You must assign an IP address, netmask, and gateway to each print server you install in order for other network devices to find the printer on the network.
If your network is using DHCP, address values are automatically assigned. To verify the address assignment, print a network setup page and make sure the IP address, netmask, and gateway appear as non zero. Go to "Step 4: Print a network setup page" on page 5.
If your network is not using DHCP, then you must manually assign an IP address. One of the easiest ways is to use the printer operator panel.
To set the printer IP address, netmask, and gateway:
1 Press Menu until you see Network Menu, and then press Select.
2 Press Menu until you see Network Option 1 (or 2), and then press Select.
3 Press Menu until you see Network 1 Setup (or 2), and then press Select.
4 Press Menu until you see TCP/IP, and then press Select.
5 Press Menu until you see Set IP Address (or Set IP Netmask or Set IP Gateway), and then press Select.
6 To set the address, netmask, or gateway:
a Press Menu to increase (or decrease) each number.
b Press Select to move to the next segment.
C Press Select again when you are finished. The message Saved appears briefly.
7 Press Go to return the printer to the Ready state.
Step 4: Print a network setup page
Use the printer operator panel to print a network setup page to verify your IP settings.
1 Press Menu until you see Utilities, and then press Select.
2 Press Menu until you see Print Net1 Setup (or Print Net2 Setup), and then press Select.
3 Look under the TCP/IP heading on the network setup page to verify that your IP address, netmask, and gateway settings are non zero.
The printer returns to the Ready state.
Step 5: Configure the network printer
After you have assigned and verified the TCP/IP settings, you are ready to configure the printer and set up your network clients to print to it.
Windows
In Windows environments, your network printers can be configured for direct printing or for shared printing.
Supported printing methods
- Direct IP printing—when you want to print directly to a printer on your network
- Shared printing (point and print, and peer-to-peer)—when you need to centrally manage network printers
Detailed information about using each of these printing methods is on the drivers CD. Click View Documentation and look for information about network printer installation.
Supported network printer ports
- Microsoft IP port (Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP)
- Lexmark network port (Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP)
Note: Using a custom printer driver and a custom network port provides enhanced functionality, such as printer status alerts.
Supported printer drivers
- Windows system printer drivers
- Lexmark custom printer drivers
System drivers are built into Windows operating systems. Custom drivers are available on the drivers CD.
Updated system and custom drivers are available on Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Creating ports and installing drivers
Read the detailed instructions on the drivers CD. Click View Documentation and look for information about network printer installation for your specific Windows environment.
If you choose to install without using the instructions on the drivers CD, you need a basic understanding of network printing on TCP/IP networks, installing printer drivers, and the process involved in creating new network ports.
Macintosh
Your printer connects automatically to AppleTalk networks and becomes readily visible to other network clients.
Note: A PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file provides detailed information about the capabilities of a printer to UNIX or Macintosh drivers or applications.
For Mac OS 8.6 - 9.x, you must create a printer object (icon) on the desktop of each network client using the LaserWriter 8 printer driver and the custom printer PPD file. For Mac OS X, select Add Printer to create a queue in the print center, using the PostScript Printer Module and the custom printer PPD file.
Information about creating the printer object on your AppleTalk clients is on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.
A PPD installer is in the downloadable Web package available on Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Depending upon which version of the drivers CD shipped with your printer, you may also find this software on the drivers CD. Launch the PPD installer and follow the instructions to install the PPDs.
UNIX/Linux
Your printer supports many UNIX and Linux platforms, such as Sun Solaris and Red Hat.
Note: The Sun Solaris package is located both on the drivers CD and on Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Lexmark provides a printer driver package for each supported UNIX and Linux platform. The package contains all the necessary drivers and PPDs. The User's Guide in each package gives detailed instructions for installing and using Lexmark printers in UNIX and Linux environments.
You can download these printer driver packages from Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com. Depending on which version of the drivers CD shipped with your printer, you may also find the driver package you need on the CD.
NetWare
Your printer works with both Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS) and regular queue-based NetWare environments.
NDPS
If you have an NDPS environment, we recommend you install the Lexmark NDPS IP Gateway. The gateway tightly integrates your printers with NDPS so you can easily monitor, control, and print to them.
You can get the gateway, snap-ins, support files, and a white paper with installation instructions from Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com/networking/ndps.html.
Other information about installing network printers in NetWare environments is on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer. Click View Documentation and look for information about network printer installation.
Non-NDPS (queue-based)
For the latest information about Lexmark support for non-NDPS environments, click View Documentation on the drivers CD and look for information about network printer installation.
