Installing The Scanner On An Ethernet Network - Lexmark 6500e User Manual

Additional printer setup
To configure your scanner to connect to an Ethernet network, organize the following information before you begin:
• A valid, unique IP address for the scanner to use on the network
•
The network gateway
•
The network mask
•
A nickname for the scanner (optional)
Note: A scanner nickname makes it easier for you to identify your scanner on the network. You can choose to
use the default scanner nickname, or you can assign a name that is easier to remember.
You will need an Ethernet cable to connect the scanner to the network and an available port where the scanner can
physically connect to the network. Use a new network cable when possible to avoid potential problems caused by a
damaged cable.
