Setting Up For Local Printing - Lexmark W812 Setup Manual

Token-Ring, Ethernet 10BaseT, or
Ethernet 100BaseTX networks
(Category 5) use an RJ-45 connector.
Setting up for
local printing
The printer automatically adjusts for the network speed.
Token-Ring networks (Shielded Twisted
Pair) use a DB9 connector.
You can attach your printer locally using either a USB or parallel port.
A parallel port is standard on the base model, or available as an
option card (see "Installing an option card" on page 30 for more
information).
All Windows operating systems support parallel connections.
However, only the Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP operating systems support USB connections.
Some UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh computers also support USB
connections. Refer to your computer operating system documentation
to see if your system supports USB.
To attach the printer to a computer:
1
Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached
devices are turned off and unplugged.
2
Connect the printer to the computer using a USB, parallel, or
serial cable.
• A USB port requires a USB cable such as Lexmark part
number 12A2405 (2 m [6.5 ft]). Be sure to match the USB
symbol on the cable to the USB symbol on the printer.
Ethernet 10Base2 networks (Thin Coax)
use a BNC T-connector.
