Step 11: Attach cables
Note:
If you have a MarkNet
print server installed, you never
have to worry about setting the
network speed. The print server
automatically senses the net-
work speed and adjusts for that
speed.
You can attach the printer to a LAN by:
•
Connecting the printer directly to the server using a parallel or
serial cable.
Your printer's standard parallel port requires an IEEE-1284
compliant parallel cable. We recommend Lexmark part number
1329605 (10 ft) or 1427498 (20 ft). If you installed an optional
parallel/USB interface card, you need a 1284 A-C parallel
cable, such as Lexmark part number 43H5171 (9.8 ft). If you
use something other than an IEEE-compliant cable, you may
not be able to access all of your printer's functions.
If you're attaching a serial cable, we recommend Lexmark part
number 1038693 (50 ft). Attach the cable to the serial connec-
tor on the optional tri-port interface card you installed in the
printer.
•
Connecting the printer directly to the LAN:
— Using an external print server, such as Lexmark's MarkNet
Pro.
— Using an internal print server, such as the MarkNet S or
one of the MarkNet N2000 Series print servers.
— Using the optional tri-port interface card to connect to a
LocalTalk network.
