Verifying printer setup
Once all hardware and software options are installed and the printer is turned on, verify that the printer is set
up correctly by printing the following:
Menu settings page—Use this page to verify that all printer options are installed correctly. A list of installed
options appears toward the bottom of the page. If an option you installed is not listed, then it is not installed
correctly. Remove the option and install it again.
Network setup page—If your printer is a network model and is attached to a network, print a network setup
page to verify the network connection. This page also provides important information that aids network
printing configuration.
Printing a menu settings page
From the home screen, navigate to:
 > Reports > Menu Settings Page Additional printer setup45 
						

							Printing a network setup page
If the printer is attached to a network, then print a network setup page to verify the network connection. This
page also provides important information that aids network printing configuration.
1From the home screen, navigate to:
 > Reports > Network Setup Page
2Check the 
first section of the network setup page, and 
confirm that the status is Connected.
If the status is Not Connected, then the LAN drop may not be active, or the network cable may be
malfunctioning. Consult a system support person for a solution, and then print another network setup page.

							Networking
Notes:
Purchase a MarkNet N8352 wireless network adapter before setting up the printer on a wireless
network. For information on installing the wireless network adapter, see the instruction sheet that came
with the adapter.
A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a name assigned to a wireless network. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP),
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and 802.1X - RADIUS are types of security used on a network.
Preparing to set up the printer on an Ethernet network
To configure your printer to connect to an Ethernet network, organize the following information before you
begin:
Note: If your network automatically assigns IP addresses to computers and printers, continue on to installing
the printer.
A valid, unique IP address for the printer to use on the network
The network gateway
The network mask
A nickname for the printer (optional)
Note: A printer nickname can make it easier for you to identify your printer on the network. You can
choose to use the default printer nickname, or assign a name that is easier for you to remember.
You will need an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network and an available port where the printer
can physically connect to the network. Use a new network cable when possible to avoid potential problems
caused by a damaged cable.
Preparing to set up the printer on a wireless network
Notes:
Make sure your access point (wireless router) is turned on and is working properly.
Do not connect the installation or network cables until prompted to do so by the setup software.
Make sure you have the following information before setting up the printer on a wireless network:
SSID—The SSID is also referred to as the network name.
Wireless Mode (or Network Mode)—The mode is either infrastructure or ad hoc.
Channel (for ad hoc networks)—The channel defaults to automatic for infrastructure networks.
Some ad hoc networks will also require the automatic setting. Check with your system support person if
you are not sure which channel to select. Additional printer setup48 
						

							Security Method—There are four basic options for Security Method:
–WEP key
If your network uses more than one WEP key, then enter up to four in the provided spaces. Select the
key currently in use on the network by selecting the default WEP transmit key.
–WPA or WPA2 preshared key or passphrase
WPA includes encryption as an additional layer of security. The choices are AES or TKIP. Encryption must
be set for the same type on the router and on the printer, or the printer will not be able to communicate
on the network.
–802.1X–RADIUS
If you are installing the printer on an 802.1X network, then you may need the following:
Authentication type
Inner authentication type
802.1X user name and password
Certificates
–No security
If your wireless network does not use any type of security, then you will not have any security information.
Note: Using an unsecured wireless network is not recommended.
Notes:
–If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then launch the wireless
utility of the computer network adapter, and then look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID
or the security information for your network, then see the documentation that came with the access point
or contact your system support person.
–To  
find the WPA/WPA2 preshared key or passphrase for the wireless network, see the documentation
that came with the access point, see the Embedded Web Server associated with the access point, or
consult your system support person.
Installing the printer on a wireless network (Windows)
Before installing the printer on a wireless network, make sure:
Your wireless network is set up and is working properly.
The computer you are using is connected to the same wireless network where you want to set up the printer.
1Connect the power cord to the printer, then to a properly grounded electrical outlet, and then turn on the
printer. Additional printer setup49 
						

							Note: Make sure the printer and the computer are fully on and ready.
