							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 configurations on
computers that access the printer must be updated because the printer will be assigned a new IP address. All 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

							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 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 serial 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.

cClick Agree to accept the Printer Software License Agreement.
dClick Custom.
eMake sure Select Components is selected, and then click Next.
fMake sure Local is selected, and then click Next.
gSelect the manufacturer of the printer from the menu.
hSelect the printer model from the menu, and then click Add Printer.
iClick the + beside the printer model under Select Components.
jMake sure the correct port is available under Select Components. This is the port where the serial cable attaches
to the computer. If the correct port is not available, select the port under the Select Port menu, and then click
Add Port.
kMake any configuration changes necessary in the Add a New Port window. Click Add Port to finish adding the
port.
lMake sure the box next to the selected printer model is checked.
mSelect any other optional software you want to install, and then click Next.
nClick Finish to complete the printer software installation.

After the printer driver is installed, you must set the serial parameters in the communications (COM) port assigned
to the printer driver. Additional printer setup66

							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/recycling
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
As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for
use in laser printers. For more information on recycled papers that work well with your printer, see “Using recycled
paper and other office papers” on page 88.
Conserving supplies
There are a number of ways you can reduce the amount of paper and toner you use when printing, copying, or receiving
faxes. You can:
Use both sides of the paper
You can control whether print appears on one or two sides of the paper for a printed document, a copy, or an incoming
fax. For more information, see:
“Printing on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 93
“Copying on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 105
“Printing an incoming fax on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 140
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 from
the Print dialog.
To copy two or four consecutive pages of a multiple‑page document onto one side of a single sheet of paper, see
“Copying multiple pages onto a single sheet” on page 107.
Choose scanning
You can avoid making a paper output of a document or photograph by scanning it and then saving it to a computer
program, application, or flash drive. For more information, see:
“Sending an e-mail using the touch screen” on page 116
“Scanning to a computer” on page 150 Minimizing your printers environmental impact 68

							“Scanning to a flash drive” on page 153
Check your first draft for accuracy
Before printing or making multiple copies of a document:
Use the Lexmark preview feature, which you can select from the Print dialog, the Lexmark Toolbar, or the printer
display, to see what the document will look like 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 75.
