Step 4: Attach cables
You can attach your printer to a network or locally 
(directly to a computer).
Network printingYou can attach your printer to a network using stan-
dard network cables.
A 10BaseT/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet port is standard 
on the Lexmark T622n. You can add a Token-Ring or 
10Base2 Ethernet port to either printer model by 
installing an optional MarkNet internal print server.
To attach the printer to a network:
1Make sure the printer is turned off and 
unplugged.
2Connect the printer to a LAN drop or hub using 
standard cabling that is compatible with your 
network.
The printer automatically adjusts itself for the 
network speed.

model, you can locally attach the printer with a serial 
cable. We recommend Lexmark part number 1038693 
(50 ft). For details on LocalTalk or infrared connec-
tions, refer to the documentation that shipped with the 
Tri-Port Adapter.
Note:All Windows operating systems support parallel 
cable connections. However, only the Windows 
2000/98/Me operating systems support USB 
cable connections.
To attach the printer to a computer:
1Make sure the printer, computer, and any other 
attached devices are turned off and unplugged.
2Connect the printer to the computer using a 
parallel or USB cable.

Step 5: Verify printer setup
Turning on the printer1Plug one end of the printer power cord into the 
socket at the back of the printer and the other end 
into a properly grounded outlet.
2Turn on the printer. If the printer is attached locally 
(directly to a computer), leave the computer and any 
other attached devices turned off. You will turn 
these on in a later step.
The printer requires time to warm up after you turn it 
on. During this period, the message Performing
Self Test appears on the operator panel display.
After the printer completes its internal tests, the 
Readymessage indicates the printer is ready to 
receive jobs.
If you see other messages on the display, refer to 
the Lexmark T620/T622 Publications CD for instruc-
tions on clearing the message. Click Printing, and 
then click Understanding printer messages.
3Go to “Printing a menu settings page” on page 28. If 
you attached the printer to a network, see“Printing a 
network setup page”.
Note:You can change the language that appears on the 
operator panel display. Refer to the Lexmark 
T620/T622 Publications CD for instructions.
Printing a network setup pageIf the printer is attached to a network, print a network 
setup page to verify the network connection. This page 
also provides important information that will help you con-
figure for network printing.

be active or your network cable may be malfunction-
ing. Consult your network support person, and then 
print another network setup page to verify that you 
are connected to your network.
Save the network setup page for use with later 
instructions.

Step 6: Configure for TCP/IP
If you have TCP/IP available on your network, we recommend that you assign an 
IP address to the printer.
Setting the printer
IP addressIf your network is using DHCP, an address is automatically assigned.
1Look for the address under the TCP/IP heading on the network setup page 
you printed in “Printing a network setup page” on page 27.
2Go to “Verifying the IP settings” on page 30 and begin with step 2.
Note:You can find instructions for other methods of setting the IP address in the 
online documentation on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.
If your network is not using DHCP, then you must manually assign an IP address. 
One of the easiest ways is to use the operator panel:
1Press Menu until you see Network Menu, and then press Select.
2Press Menu until you see Standard Network, and then press Select.
Standard Network appears if you purchased a printer with an on-board net-
work port. If you have an optional MarkNet card installed in slot 1, you see 
Network Option 1. If the card is installed in slot 2, you see Network 
Option 2.
3Press Menu until you see Std Net Setup, and then press Select.
4Press Menu until you see TCP/IP, and then press Select.
5Press Menu until you see Set IP Address, and then press Select. 
6Change the address by pressing Menu to increase (or decrease) each 
number. Press Select to move to the next segment. Press Select when you 
are finished.
The message Saved appears briefly.
7Press Menu until you see Set IP Netmask, and then press Select. 
8Repeat step 6 to set the IP Netmask.
