    Changing port settings after installing a new network Internal
    Solutions Port
    When a new network Lexmark Internal Solutions Port (ISP) is installed in the printer, the printer is assigned a new IP
    address. The printer configurations on computers that access the printer must be updated with this new IP address in
    order to print to it over the network.
    Notes:
    If the printer has a static IP address that will stay the same, then you do not need to make any changes to the
    computer configurations.
    If the computers are configured to print to the printer by a network name that will stay the same, instead of by
    IP address, then you do not need to make any changes to the computer configurations.
    If you are adding a wireless ISP to a printer previously configured for a wired connection, then make sure the
    wired network is disconnected when you configure the printer to operate wirelessly. If the wired connection
    remains connected, then the wireless configuration will complete, but the wireless ISP will not be active. In the
    event that the printer was configured for a wireless ISP while still attached to a wired connection, disconnect
    the wired connection, turn the printer off, and then turn the printer back on again. This will enable the wireless
    ISP.
    Only one network connection at a time is active. If you want to switch the connection type between wired and
    wireless, you must first turn the printer off, connect the cable (to switch to a wired connection) or disconnect
    the cable (to switch to a wireless connection), and then turn the printer back on again.
    For Windows users
    1Print a network setup page and make a note of the new IP address.

    Setting up serial printing
    In serial printing, data is transferred one bit at a time. Although serial printing is usually slower than parallel printing,
    it is the preferred option when there is a great deal of distance between the printer and computer or when an interface
    with a better transfer rate is not available.
    After installing the serial or communication (COM) port, you will need to configure the printer and the computer so
    they can communicate. Make sure you have connected the serial cable to the COM port on your printer.
    1Set the parameters in the printer:
    aFrom the printer control panel, navigate to the menu with port settings.
    bLocate the submenu with serial port settings.
    cMake any necessary changes to the serial settings.
    dSave the new settings.

    If the CD does not launch automatically, then do the following:
    1Click , or click Start and then click Run.
    2In the Start Search or Run box, type D:\setup.exe, where D is the letter of your CD or DVD drive.
    bClick Install Printer and Software.
    cClick Agree to accept the Printer Software License Agreement.
    dClick Custom.
    eMake sure Select Components is selected, and then click Next.
    fSelect the printer model from the menu, and then click Add Printer.
    gClick the + beside the printer model under Select Components.
    hMake sure the correct COM port is available under Select Components. This is the port where the serial cable
    attaches to the computer (example: COM1). Additional printer setup45

    3Set the COM port parameters:
    After the printer driver is installed, you must set the serial parameters in the COM port assigned to the printer
    driver.
    The serial parameters in the COM port must match the serial parameters you set in the printer.
    aOpen the Device Manager.
    1Click , or click Start and then click Run.
    2In the Start Search or Run box, type devmgmt.msc.
    3Press Enter, or click OK.

    cSelect the communications port where you attached the serial cable to your computer (example: COM1).
    dClick Properties.
    eOn the Port Settings tab, set the serial parameters to the same serial parameters in the printer.
    Look for the printer settings under the serial heading on the menu settings page you printed earlier.
    fClick OK, and then close all the windows.
    gPrint a test page to verify printer installation. When a test page prints successfully, printer setup is complete. Additional printer setup46

    							Minimizing your printers environmental impact
    Lexmark is committed to environmental sustainability and is continually improving its printers to reduce their impact
    on the environment. We design with the environment in mind, engineer our packaging to reduce materials, and provide
    collection and recycling programs. For more information, see:
    The Notices chapter
    The Environmental Sustainability section of the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/environment
    The Lexmark recycling program at www.lexmark.com/recycle
    By selecting certain printer settings or tasks, you may be able to reduce your printers impact even further. This chapter
    outlines the settings and tasks that may yield a greater environmental benefit.
    Saving paper and toner
    Using recycled paper and other office papers
    As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for
    use in laser (electrophotographic) printers. In 1998, Lexmark presented to the US government a study demonstrating
    that recycled paper produced by major mills in the US fed as well as non-recycled paper. However, no blanket statement
    can be made that all recycled paper will feed well.
    Lexmark consistently tests its printers with recycled paper (20–100% post-consumer waste) and a variety of test paper
    from around the world, using chamber tests for different temperature and humidity conditions. Lexmark has found no
    reason to discourage the use of todays recycled office papers, but generally the following property guidelines apply
    to recycled paper.
    Low moisture content (4–5%)
    Suitable smoothness (100–200 Sheffield units, or 140–350 Bendtsen units, European)
    Note: Some much smoother papers (such as premium 24 lb laser papers, 50–90 Sheffield units) and much
    rougher papers (such as premium cotton papers, 200–300 Sheffield units) have been engineered to work very
    well in laser printers, despite surface texture. Before using these types of paper, consult your paper supplier.
    Suitable sheet-to-sheet coefficient of friction (0.4–0.6)
    Sufficient bending resistance in the direction of feed
    Recycled paper, paper of lower weight (
    						
    							Use both sides of the paper
    If your printer model supports duplex printing, you can control whether print appears on one or two sides of the paper
    by selecting 2‑sided printing from the Print dialog or the Lexmark Toolbar.
    Place multiple pages on one sheet of paper
    You can print up to 16 consecutive pages of a multiple‑page document onto one side of a single sheet of paper by
    selecting a setting from the Multipage printing (N‑Up) section of the Print dialog.
    Check your first draft for accuracy
    Before printing or making multiple copies of a document:
    Use the preview feature, which you can select from the Print dialog or the Lexmark Toolbar, to see how the document
    will look before you print it.
    Print one copy of the document to check its content and format for accuracy.
    Avoid paper jams
    Carefully select and load paper to avoid paper jams. For more information, see “Avoiding jams” on page 148.
    Saving energy
    Using Eco‑Mode
    Use Eco‑Mode to quickly select one or more ways to reduce your printers environmental impact.
    Note: See the table for the multiple settings that change when you select an Eco-Mode setting.
    ChooseTo
    Energy Reduce energy use, especially when the printer is idle.
    Printer engine motors do not start until a job is ready to print. You may notice a short delay before the
    first page is printed.
    The printer enters Power Saver mode after one minute of inactivity.
    When the printer enters Power Saver mode, the printer control panel display light is turned off.
    Paper
    Enable the automatic duplex feature (on printer models that support duplex).
    Turn off print log features.
    Energy/Paper Use all the settings associated with Energy mode and Paper mode.
    Off Use factory default settings for all settings associated with Eco‑Mode. This setting supports the performance
    specifications for your printer.
    1Make sure that the printer is on and Ready appears.
    2From the printer control panel, press .
    3Press the up or down arrow button until Settings appears, and then press .
    4Press the up or down arrow button until General Settings appears, and then press . Minimizing your printers environmental impact 48
