Networking
General networking
Networking overview
A network is a collection of devices such as computers, printers, Ethernet hubs, wireless access points, and routers
connected together for communication through cables or through a wireless connection. A network can be either
wired, wireless, or designed to have both wired and wireless devices.
Devices on a wired network use cables to communicate with each other.
Devices on a wireless network use radio waves instead of cables to communicate with each other. For a device to
be able to communicate wirelessly, it must have a wireless print server attached or installed that enables it to receive
and transmit radio waves.

Common home network configurations
For desktop computers, laptops, and printers to communicate with each other over a network, they must be
connected by cables and/or have wireless network adapters built in or installed in them.
There are different ways a network can be set up. Five common examples appear below.
Note: The printers in the following diagrams represent Lexmark printers with Lexmark internal print servers built in
or installed in them so that they can communicate over a network. Lexmark internal print servers are devices made
by Lexmark to enable Lexmark printers to be connected to wired or wireless networks.

Wired network example
• A computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected by Ethernet cables to a hub, router, or switch.
• The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem.
Internet

Wireless network examples
Four common wireless networks appear below:

•
•
•
•

Scenario 1: Laptop and printer connected wirelessly with Internet
Scenario 2: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly with Internet
Scenario 3: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without Internet
Scenario 4: Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet

Scenario 1: Laptop and printer connected wirelessly with Internet
• A computer is connected to a wireless router by an Ethernet cable.
• A laptop and a printer are connected wirelessly to the router.
• The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem.
Internet

Scenario 2: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly with Internet
• A computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected wirelessly to a wireless router.
• The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or a cable modem.
Internet

Scenario 3: Computer, laptop, and printer connected wirelessly without Internet
• A computer, a laptop, and a printer are connected wirelessly to a wireless access point.
• The network has no connection to the Internet.

Scenario 4: Laptop connected wirelessly to printer without Internet
• A laptop is directly connected wirelessly to a printer without going through a wireless router.
• The network has no connection to the Internet.

What information do I need and where do I find it?
This printer may contain an internal wireless print server, which allows the printer to be used on a wireless network.
You need the following settings from your existing wireless network:

•
•
•
•

The network name, also known as the SSID
The wireless mode (the type of wireless network you are using, either infrastructure or ad hoc)
The type of security used on the network (WEP, WPA, or WPA2)
Any applicable security keys or passwords used with the network security encryption type

Note: You must know this information in order to properly set up the printer for use on the wireless network. To
obtain these settings, see the documentation that came with your wireless router or consult the person who set up
your wireless network.

Finding the MAC address
Most network equipment has a unique hardware identification number to distinguish it from other devices on the
network. This is called the Media Access Control (MAC) address.
If your printer has a factory installed internal wireless print server, the MAC address is a series of letters and numbers
located on the back of your printer.

If you purchased the internal wireless print server separately, the MAC address appears on an adhesive label that
came with the wireless print server. Attach the adhesive label to your printer so you will be able to find the MAC
address when you need it.
UAA: XX XX XX XX XX XX

Note: A list of MAC addresses can be set on a router so that only devices with matching MAC addresses can be
allowed to operate on the network. This is called MAC filtering. If MAC filtering is enabled in your router and you
want to add a printer to your network, the MAC address of the printer must be included in the MAC filter list.

Printing a network setup page
A network setup page lists your network configuration settings.
Note: You can print a network setup page only when an internal wireless print server is installed in the printer.
To print a network setup page:

1 From the control panel of the printer, press

repeatedly until Setup is highlighted.

2 Press .
3 Press

repeatedly until Network Setup is highlighted.

j Click OK.

Finding a printer/print server located on remote subnets
The printer software CD can automatically find the printers that are located on the same network as the computer.
If the printer and print server are located on another network (called a subnet), you must manually enter an IP address
during printer software installation.

Wireless networking
Finding IP addresses
An IP address is a unique number used by devices on an IP network to locate and communicate with each other.
Devices on an IP network can only communicate with each other if they have unique and valid IP addresses. A
unique IP address means no two devices on the same network have the same IP address.

How to locate a printer IP address
You can locate the printer IP address by printing out the printer network setup page. For more information, see
“Printing a network setup page” on page 34.

How to locate a computer IP address
1 Do one of the following:
• In Windows Vista, click
All Programs Accessories Command Prompt.
• In Windows XP, click Start Programs or All Programs Accessories Command Prompt.
2 Type ipconfig.

3 Press Enter.
The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.100.

Assigning an IP address
An IP address may be assigned by the network using DHCP. The print object, created at the end of the installation,
sends all print jobs across the network to the printer using this address.
Many networks have the ability to automatically assign an IP address. Auto-IP is the ability for individual devices to
assign themselves a unique IP address. Most networks use DHCP to assign addresses.
During the Direct IP printing installation of printer software, the IP address is visible in the printer list only as it is
being assigned. The print object that is created in the Printers folder of the operating system will reference the MAC
address of the printer in the port name.
If the IP address is not automatically assigned, you can try manually entering an address after selecting your printer
from the available list.

Configure IP address
If you have lost communication with the printer over a network, select Use DHCP to reestablish communication with
the printer.
You must assign an IP address in any of the following situations:

•
•
•
•

You manually assigned IP addresses for the other network devices.
You want to assign a specific IP address.
You move the printer to a remote subnet.
The printer is listed as Unconfigured in the Configuration Utility.

Contact your system support person for more information.

Finding the signal strength
Wireless devices have built-in antennas that transmit and receive radio signals. The signal strength listed on the
printer network setup page indicates how strongly a transmitted signal is being received. Many factors can affect
the signal strength. One factor is interference from other wireless devices or even other devices such as microwave
ovens. Another factor is distance. The farther two wireless devices are from each other, the more likely it is that the
communication signal will be weaker.

Installing the printer on a network
Follow the instructions for the networking method you want to use. Make sure the selected network is set up and
working properly, and that all relevant devices are turned on. For more information on your specific network, see
your network documentation or consult the person who set up the network.

Refresh
Click Refresh to have the Configuration Utility automatically search to find and configure newly added printers.

Types of wireless networks
Networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure or ad hoc. Lexmark recommends setting up a network in
infrastructure mode using the installation CD that came with the printer.
A wireless network where each device communicates with others through a wireless access point (wireless router)
is set up in infrastructure mode. All devices must have valid IP addresses and share the same SSID and channel.
In addition, they must share the same SSID and channel as the wireless access point (wireless router).
A simple type of wireless network is one where a PC with a wireless adapter communicates directly with a printer
equipped for wireless networking. This mode of communication is called ad hoc. A device in this type of network
must have a valid IP address and be set to ad hoc mode. The wireless print server must also be configured with the
same SSID and channel.

Advanced wireless setup
Creating an ad hoc wireless network using Windows
The recommended way to set up your wireless network is to use a wireless access point (wireless router). A network
set up this way is called an infrastructure network. If you have an infrastructure network in your home, you should
configure your printer for use on that network.
If you don't have a wireless access point (wireless router) or would like to set up a standalone network between your
printer and a computer with a wireless network adapter, you can set up an ad hoc network.

For Windows Vista users
1 Click

Control Panel Network and Internet.

2 Under Network and Sharing Center, click Connect to a Network.
3 In the Connect to a Network dialog, click Set up a wireless ad-hoc (computer-to-computer) network, and
then click Next.

4 Follow the instructions in the “Set up a wireless ad hoc network” wizard. As part of the setup:
a Create a network name or SSID for the network between the computer and your printer.
b Write the name of your network in the space provided. Be sure to use the exact spelling and capitalization.
c Go to the Security Type drop-down, choose WEP, and create a security key (or password).
Note: WEP passwords must be either 5 or 13 characters.

d Write the password for your network in the space provided. Be sure to use the exact spelling and
capitalization.
Windows Vista will enable the ad hoc network for you. It will appear in the “Connect to a network” dialog under
available networks, indicating that the computer is configured for the ad hoc network.

5 Close the Control Panel and any remaining windows.
6 Insert the printer CD into the computer and follow the direction for wireless installation.
7 When the available networks are displayed, provide the network name and the security information you created
in step 4. The installer will configure the printer for use with the computer.

8 Store a copy of your network name and security information in a safe place for future reference.

For Windows XP users
1 Click Start Settings Control Panel Network Connections.

Loading paper and original documents
Loading paper
1 Make sure:
• You use paper designed for inkjet printers.
• If you are using photo, glossy, or heavyweight matte paper, you load it with the glossy or printable side facing
you. (If you are not sure which side is the printable side, see the instructions that came with the paper.)

• The paper is not used or damaged.
• If you are using specialty paper, you follow the instructions that came with it.
• You do not force paper into the printer.
2 Before loading paper the first time, slide the paper guides out toward the edges of the paper support. You can
load up to:

•
•
•
•

100 sheets of plain paper
25 sheets of heavyweight matte paper
25 sheets of photo paper
25 sheets of glossy paper

Note: Photos require more drying time. Remove each photo as it exits, and allow it to dry to avoid ink smudging.

3 Load the paper vertically in the center of the paper support, and adjust the paper guides to rest against the edges
of the paper.

Note: To avoid paper jams, make sure the paper does not buckle when you adjust the paper guides.

Using the automatic paper type sensor
The printer is equipped with an automatic paper type sensing device. The Paper Type Sensor automatically detects
the type of paper that has been loaded into the printer and adjusts the settings for you. For example, if you want to
print a photo, load photo paper into the printer. The printer detects the type of paper and automatically adjusts the
settings to give you optimum photo-printing results.

Loading envelopes
You can load up to 10 envelopes at a time.
Warning: Do not use envelopes that have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.

1 Load envelopes in the center of the paper support with the stamp location in the upper left corner.
2 Make sure:
• The print side of the envelopes faces you.
• The envelopes are designed for use with inkjet printers.

• The paper guides rest against the edges of the envelopes.

Notes:

• Do not load envelopes with holes, perforations, cutouts, or deep embossing.

smudging.

2 Make sure:
• The print side of the labels faces you.
• The top of the labels feeds into the printer first.
• The adhesive on the labels does not extend to within 1 mm of the edge of the labels.
• You use full label sheets. Partial sheets (with areas exposed by missing labels) may cause labels to peel
off during printing, resulting in a paper jam.

• The labels are loaded in the center of the paper support.
• The paper guides rest against the edges of the labels.
Note: Labels require more drying time. Remove each sheet of labels as it exits, and allow it to dry to avoid ink
smudging.

is incorrect, the camera will be detected as a USB storage device, or an error message will be displayed on
the control panel of the printer. For more information, see the camera documentation.

If the printer does not read the flash drive, remove and reinsert it.
Warning: Do not touch cables, any network adapter, the flash drive, or the printer in the area shown while
actively printing, reading, or writing from the flash drive. A loss of data can occur. Also, do not remove the flash
drive while actively printing, reading, or writing from the flash drive.

Print troubleshooting
Partial 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) photo prints when using a PictBridge-enabled
digital camera
Make sure photo size and paper size are set correctly
The printer displays Paper Mismatch when your chosen photo size does not match the paper size that is set. This
typically happens when you are trying to print from your PictBridge-enabled digital camera. You may have left the
printer control panel Photo Size menu item setting at 8.5 x 11 in. or 5 x 7 in. size, but your camera has a
print size of 4 x 6 in. or L. You need to make sure your chosen photo size on the printer is 4 x 6 in. or
10 x 15 cm, depending on the typically used photo size for your country or region.

• Make sure the 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) photo paper is loaded correctly in the paper support.
• If your camera lets you change the print size setting, change the print size selection to 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) on
the PictBridge-enabled digital camera.

117

• If your camera does not allow you to change the paper size setting, use the control panel to change the paper
size to 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm).

1 Insert the USB cable that came with your camera into the camera, and insert the other end into the PictBridge
port on the front of the printer.

121

Checking the print cartridges
Are the print cartridges properly installed?
For more information, see “Installing print cartridges” on page 94.

Are the sticker and tape removed from the cartridges?
Lift the scanner unit. Press down on the cartridge carrier latches to raise the cartridge carrier lids.

Are the cartridges low on ink?
1 Do one of the following:
• In Windows Vista, click .
• In Windows XP and earlier, click Start.
2 Click Programs or All Programs Lexmark 4800 Series.
3 Click Solution Center.
4 If an exclamation point (!) appears on a cartridge, the ink level is low. Install a new cartridge. For more information,
see “Installing print cartridges” on page 94.
For cartridge-ordering information, see “Ordering supplies” on page 99.

Ink levels seem incorrect
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

Are you printing graphics or photos?
When you print documents with a large number of graphics, or with the Photo Quality/Speed setting, the printer uses
more ink. The type of documents you print and the print quality you select affect the amount of ink the printer uses.

Are you printing a large file?
The ink levels displayed in the printer software are not updated during a print job; they represent the ink level at the
beginning of a print job. The ink levels may seem inconsistent in the Printing Status window when you are printing
a large file.

Ink levels seem to go down too quickly
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

Are you printing photos or documents with a large number of graphics?
Because photos and graphics require more ink than text documents, ink usage increases when you print photos or
graphics.

Are you printing with the Best Quality/Speed setting?
To reduce ink usage, select Best only when you are printing on photo or heavyweight matte paper. All other paper
types print best at a lower Quality/Speed setting. Use the Quick Print or Normal setting to print most text documents.

A blank or incorrect page prints
Remove the sticker and tape from the print cartridges
Lift the scanner unit, and remove the print cartridges from the print cartridge carrier. Make sure the sticker and tape
are removed from the print nozzles located on the bottom of the cartridges.

122

Make sure the cartridges are properly installed
With the front of the printer facing you, check for proper print cartridge installation. If you are using a color cartridge,
make sure it is properly installed in the right carrier. If you are using a black or photo cartridge, make sure it is properly
installed in the left carrier.

Check the USB connection
1 Check that the USB cable is connected to the computer. The USB port on the back of the computer is marked
by the

USB symbol. Plug the long, flat end of the USB cable into this port.

2 Make sure that the smaller, more square end of the USB cable is plugged into the back of the printer.
3 Check that the USB cable is not damaged and that the

light is on.

Close other open files before printing
Before sending a file to print, close all other open files in the program you are using. The printer prints a blank page
when too many files are open in the same program.

Characters on printout are missing or unexpected
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

Make sure the fonts are applied correctly in the program
Most programs do not print a stretched or resized font.

Make sure the TrueType font is available on the computer
The font you are trying to print may not be available in the program font selection box. Not all fonts are designed to
be printed; make sure the font is a TrueType font. See the program documentation for more information.

Make sure the document was formatted or created for the printer
Windows may substitute different fonts. Line and page breaks may change with the font. Use the program that
created the document to fix these problems, and then save the changes for the next time you print.

Colors on printout are faded or differ from colors on the screen
Check the following. When you think you have solved the problem, test the solution by sending a document to print.

Are the color and print speed settings correct?
You may need to adjust the color and print speed.

Are the print cartridges low on ink?
1 Do one of the following:
• In Windows Vista, click
Control Panel.
• In Windows XP or 2000, click Start.
2 Click Programs or All Programs Lexmark 4800 Series.

123

3 Click Solution Center.

4 If an exclamation point (!) appears on either of the print cartridges, the ink level is low. Install a new cartridge.

Glossy photo paper or transparencies stick together
Do photos or transparencies dry and stick together on the paper exit tray?
Remove the photos or transparencies from the paper exit tray as they exit the printer. Allow them to dry before
stacking. It takes longer for the ink to dry on the surface of photo paper or transparencies than it does on most
printouts.

Are you using a transparency or photo paper designed for an inkjet printer?
For information on ordering supplies, see “Choosing compatible specialty paper types” on page 50.

Page prints with different fonts
Make sure the correct printer is selected
When printing from an application, make sure the selected printer is the correct printer you want to use to print your
job.
It is useful to have the default printer set to be the printer you use most often for printing.

Make sure the fonts are applied correctly in the program
Most programs do not print a stretched or resized font.

Print is too dark or smudged
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

Make sure the ink dry before handling the paper
Remove the paper as it exits, and let the ink dry before handling.

Make sure the Quality/Speed setting is appropriate for the paper type loaded in the printer
The Photo Quality/Speed setting may cause smearing if used with plain paper. If you are using plain paper, try using
the Normal setting.

Make sure the print cartridge nozzles are clean
You may need to clean the print cartridge nozzles.
