About your printer
v10112944 - BBARUC
Thank you for choosing this printer!
We've worked hard to make sure it will meet your needs.
To start using your new printer right away, use the setup materials that came with the printer, and then skim the
User’s Guide to learn how to perform basic tasks. To get the most out of your printer, read the User’s Guide carefully,
and make sure you check the latest updates on our Web site.
We're committed to delivering performance and value with our printers, and we want to make sure you're satisfied.
If you do encounter any problems along the way, one of our knowledgeable support representatives will be delighted
to help you get back on track fast. And if you find something we could do better, please let us know. After all, you
are the reason we do what we do, and your suggestions help us do it better.
v11828765 - BBARUC
Minimizing your printer's environmental impact
We are committed to protecting the environment and are continually improving our printers to reduce their
environmental impact. By selecting certain printer settings or tasks, you may be able to reduce your printer's
environmental impact even further.
Conserving energy
•Activate Eco-Mode. This feature sets the screen brightness to low and sets the printer to change to Power Saver
mode after the printer is left idle for 10 minutes.
•Select the lowest Power Saver timeout. The Power Saver feature puts the printer in a minimum-power standby
mode after the printer has been idle for a set amount of time (the Power Saver timeout).
•Share your printer. Wireless/network printers allow you to share a single printer among multiple computers,
thus conserving energy and other resources.
Conserving paper
•Activate Eco-Mode. On selected printer models, this feature sets the printer to automatically print on both sides
of the paper (duplex) for copy and fax jobs, and for printing in Windows.
•Print more than one page image on one side of the paper. The “Pages per sheet” feature allows you to print
multiple pages on one sheet. You can print up to 8 page images on one side of a sheet of paper.
•Print on both sides of the paper. Duplexing lets you print on both sides of the paper manually or automatically
(depending on your printer model).
•Preview print jobs before printing. Use the preview features found in Toolbars, the Print dialog, or the printer
display.
•Scan and save. To avoid printing multiple copies, you can scan documents or photographs and save them to a
computer program, application, or flash drive for presentation.
•Use recycled paper.

Conserving ink
•Use Quick Print or Draft Mode. These modes can be used to print documents using less ink than normal and
are ideal for printing documents that are mostly text.
•Use High Yield cartridges. Inks in High-Yield and Extra High-Yield cartridges allow you to print more pages with
fewer cartridges.
•Clean the printhead. Before replacing and recycling your ink cartridges, try using the “Clean Printhead” and
“Deep Clean Printhead” features. These features clean the printhead nozzles to improve the quality of your prints.
Recycling
•Return ink cartridges for reuse or recycling through the Lexmark Cartridge Collection Program. To return
an ink cartridge, go to www.lexmark.com/recycle .Follow the instructions to request a postage-paid bag.
•Recycle the product packaging.
•Recycle your old printer instead of throwing it away.
•Recycle paper from discarded print jobs.
•Use recycled paper.

Scanning FAQ
v9843153 - GCAPATAR
How can I improve the quality of a scan?
•Make sure your original documents are in good condition.
•Make sure the application that receives the scanned document is appropriate. For example, if you are scanning
a photo to edit it, then make sure you choose a photo editing application to receive the scan. If you are scanning
a document to edit the text, then make sure you choose an OCR application.
•Use a high resolution.
v9843143 - GCAPATAR
How do I scan in black and white?
Color is the default for all scans. To scan in black and white, press the Color/Black button on the printer control panel
to switch from color to black and white.
v9843150 - GCAPATAR
Why am I being asked for a PIN?
PINs are a security measure used to restrict the scanned information from going into certain locations, or to keep
what is being scanned from being seen or used by others. You may be prompted to enter a PIN if the network
computer you are scanning to requires one.
To learn how PINs get assigned to network computers, see the Help for the printer software associated with your
operating system.
v10975798 - GCAPATAR
What is an application list, and how do I update it?
When you scan a file, you can choose which application to use to open it on your computer. The printer downloads
this application list from your computer when scanning for the first time. If you do not see the application you want
on the list, or if you install new applications on your computer, then update the application list in the printer.

Setting up the printer to fax
v11456331 - AESTOQUI
Scenario 1: Standard telephone line
Setup 1: Printer is connected to a dedicated fax line
To connect:
Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.
Tips for this setup:
•You can set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On) or manually (Auto Answer Off).
•If you want to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), then set the printer to pick up on any number of
rings that you want.

1Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.
2Remove the protective plug from the port of the printer, and then connect the answering machine to the port.
Connected to different wall jacks
To connect:
Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.
Lexmark Confidential until announced
Faxing
70
Tips for this setup:
•If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes automatically
(Auto Answer On).
•Set the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine
picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after six rings. This way, the answering machine picks
up calls first and your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line
and takes over the call.
•If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided by your telephone company, then make sure that you set
the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if you have set it to
receive faxes automatically.
Setup 3: Printer is sharing the line with a telephone subscribed to voice mail
service
To connect:
1Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.
2Remove the protective plug from the port of the printer, and then connect the telephone to the port.
Lexmark Confidential until announced
Faxing
71
Tips for this setup:
•This setup works best if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service. If you have distinctive ring service, then make
sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if you
have set it to receive faxes automatically.
•If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes manually
(Auto Answer Off).
When you answer the telephone and you hear fax tones, press *9* or the manual answer code on the telephone
to receive the fax.
•You can also set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), but you need to turn off the voice
mail service when you are expecting a fax. This setting works best if you are using voice mail more often than fax.
v11456326 - AESTOQUI
Scenario 2: Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
A Digital Subscriber Line splits your regular telephone line into two channels: voice and Internet. Telephone and fax
signals travel through the voice channel, and Internet signals pass through the other channel. This way, you can use
the same line for analog voice calls (including faxes) and digital Internet access.
To minimize interference between the two channels and ensure a quality connection, you need to install a DSL filter
for the analog devices (fax machine, telephone, answering machine) in your network. Interference causes noise and
static on the telephone, failed and poor quality faxes for the printer, and slow Internet connection on your computer.
To install a filter for the printer:
1Connect the line port of the DSL filter to the wall jack.
2Connect a telephone cable from the port on the back of the printer to the phone port on the DSL filter.

v11456322 - AESTOQUI
Scenario 3: VoIP telephone service
To connect:
1Connect one end of a telephone cable to the port of the printer.
2Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the VoIP adapter.
The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. You may need to pay extra to your VoIP provider
if you want to activate the second phone port.
3Remove the protective plug from the port of the printer, and then connect the telephone to the port.
Tips for this setup:
•To make sure that the phone port on the VoIP adapter is active, plug an analog telephone into the phone port,
and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the port is active.
•If you need two phone ports for your devices but do not want to pay extra, then do not plug the printer into the
second phone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the Phone Line 1 or Phone
Port , and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter.
Make sure you use a phone splitter, not a line splitter. To make sure that you are using the correct splitter, plug
an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone.

To connect:
1Connect one end of a telephone cable to the port of the printer.
2Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the cable modem.
The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. You may need to pay extra to your cable provider
if you want to activate the second phone port.
3Remove the protective plug from the port of the printer, and then connect the telephone to the port.
Tips for this setup:
•To make sure that the phone port on the cable modem is active, plug an analog telephone into the phone port,
and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the port is active.
•If you need two phone ports for your devices but do not want to pay extra, then do not plug the printer into the
second phone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the Phone Line 1 or Phone
Port , and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter.

v11456338 - AESTOQUI
Scenario 5: Country-specific setup
Different countries have different types of telephone wall jacks. The most common wall jack is the Registered Jack-11
(RJ-11), the standard adopted by most countries. You need to have an RJ-11 plug, or a telephone cable that has an
RJ-11 connector, so you can connect a device to an RJ-11 wall jack.
The fax ports on the back of the printer and the telephone cable that comes with the printer have RJ-11 connectors.

Tips for receiving faxes
When receiving faxes:
•Make sure that the printer is on and connected to a working telephone, DSL, or VoIP line. The line is working if
you hear a dial tone.
•If you set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off), then make sure that the ringer volume is not
set to Off.
•If you have set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), then load paper in the printer.

2Set the number of rings before the printer picks up incoming faxes:
aPress the arrow buttons to scroll to Pick Up On, and then press .
bPress the arrow buttons to scroll to the number of rings that you want, and then press to save the setting.
When the number of rings you set is detected, the printer automatically receives the incoming fax.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not touch the cables or the and ports while actively receiving a fax.
Tips:
•If the printer is sharing the line with other analog devices (telephone, answering machine), then set the printer
to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine picks up calls after
four rings, then set the printer to pick up after six rings. This way, the answering machine picks up calls first and
your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over
the call. If the printer is on a dedicated fax line, then you may set the printer to pick up on any number of rings.
•If you have multiple numbers on a single line, or if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided by your
telephone company, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer
will not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.

What is a splitter and what type of splitter should I use?
If there are limited wall jacks in your home or limited ports on your adapter, then you can use a phone splitter. A
splitter splits the telephone signal and allows you to connect multiple devices to the wall jack. It has two or more
ports where you can plug the devices. Do not use a line splitter.
To make sure that you are using the correct splitter, plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a
dial tone.
v9730602 - AESTOQUI
What is my fax number?
In most cases, your telephone number is also your fax number. If you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection (DRPD) service offered by telephone companies, then your fax number is the number that you assigned
to the printer. Make sure that you enter the correct distinctive ring pattern for that number in the fax software or in
the Fax Setup menu of the printer control panel.
If you have more than one telephone line, then make sure that you enter the number for the line on which the printer
is connected.
v10249040 - AESTOQUI
What is my dialing prefix?
The dialing prefix is the number or series of numbers that you press before you can dial the actual fax number or
telephone number. If the printer is an office setting or in a private branch exchange, this can be a specific number
that you need to press so you can make a call outside the office. This can also be a country code or an area code that
you need to enter if you are sending faxes outside of town. This can be very useful if you frequently send faxes to the
same country or area. When you set the dialing prefix in the utility, you do not need to press the number or series of
numbers every time you dial the fax number or telephone number. The printer automatically inputs the prefix every
time you dial.

You can enter up to 8 characters as your dialing prefix. The valid characters are the numbers 0-9 and the characters
# and *. If you are using the fax software to enter the dial prefix, then you may also include the characters period,
comma, star, pound, plus, minus, and parenthesis.
v9749411 - AESTOQUI
When do I need to set Auto Answer to On?
Set Auto Answer to On if you want the printer to receive faxes automatically.
If the printer is connected to the same telephone line with an answering machine, then you must set Auto Answer
to On so that you can receive both your voice calls and your faxes. Make sure that the answering machine is set to
pick up on fewer rings than the rings set in the printer. This lets the other devices pick up the voice calls first. If an
incoming call is a fax, the printer can detect fax signals on the line and takes the call.
v10249422 - AESTOQUI
How many rings should I set?
If the printer is sharing a line with an answering machine, then set the printer to pick up on the greater number of
rings. Because you have only one line, there is no way of distinguishing a voice call from an incoming fax. You can
set the number of rings so that the answering machine takes the voice calls and the printer takes the incoming faxes.
If you set the other devices to pick up on fewer rings, then the devices pick up calls first, and your voice calls are
received. If a call is a fax, then the printer can detect it and will take over the call.
If the printer is on a dedicated fax line, then you may set the printer to pick up on any number of rings that you want.
v10016819 - AESTOQUI
How do I set the distinctive ring for the printer?
Setting the correct ring is important if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature offered
by telephone companies. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each
telephone number has a designated ring pattern (a single ring, a double ring, a triple ring). The different ring patterns
let you know what telephone number was dialed, and what device you should use to answer the call.
Assign one of your telephone numbers to the printer as the fax number, and then set the printer to answer the ring
pattern of that number. If the pattern is set incorrectly, then the printer rings, but it never receives the fax.
To set the ring pattern in the printer:
1From the printer control panel, press .
2Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Fax Setup, and then press .
3Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Ringing and Answering, and then press .
4Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Ring Pattern, and then press .

How can I check the dial tone?
A dial tone lets you know if the telephone line is working or if the printer is properly connected to the telephone line.
If you encounter problems sending and receiving faxes, then make sure you can hear a dial tone on the line and
through the printer.
Make sure the telephone line and the wall jack are working
1Plug an analog telephone into the wall jack.
2Listen for a dial tone through the telephone handset.
If you hear a dial tone, then the telephone line and the wall jack are working.
If you do not hear a dial tone, plug the analog telephone into a second wall jack, and then listen for a dial tone.
If you hear a dial tone, then the telephone line is working but the first wall jack is not working.
Make sure the printer is connected properly to the telephone line
1While the printer is connected to a telephone line through the port on the back of the printer, plug an analog
telephone into the port of the printer.
2Listen for a dial tone.
If you hear a dial tone, then the telephone line is working and properly connected to the printer.
If you do not hear a dial tone through both the wall jack and the printer, then see “Fax troubleshooting checklist” on
page 136.
v9888963 - AESTOQUI
How do I adjust the speaker volume on the printer?
Listen to the dial tone to check if the telephone line is working and to check if the cables and devices are connected
properly in your telephone network. Make sure that the dialing volume is not set to Off, especially if you are dialing
a number on hook. If you set the printer to receive faxes manually, then make sure that you set the ringer volume
loud enough for you to hear it.

How can I make sure that the fax answers the call before the
answering machine?
To make sure the printer picks up incoming faxes, set Auto Answer to On, and then set the printer to pick up after a
greater number of rings than the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine picks up calls after four
rings, then set the printer to pick up after five rings. This way, the answering machine picks up calls first and your
voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over the call.
v9749415 - AESTOQUI
What settings work best with digital voice mail?
Voice mail and fax can share the same telephone line if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service. This feature allows
you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring
pattern (a single ring, a double ring, a triple ring). The different ring patterns let you know which telephone number
was dialed, and which device you should use to answer the call.
If you do not have distinctive ring service, then set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off). This setting
lets you receive both voice calls and fax calls, but works best if you use voice mail more often. You need to turn off
voice mail whenever you are expecting a fax.
v10644004 - AESTOQUI
How do I change the resolution of the documents that I fax?
The resolution, or fax quality, of the documents that you send may affect fax transmission. The receiving fax machine
may not support high resolutions and may not be able to receive your fax. You can fix this by enabling Auto Fax
Conversion, but the automatic conversion may result in an unreadable fax, especially if the original document is
already blurred.
Choose a fax quality that best suits the capacity of the receiving fax machine and the quality of the original document.

Installing the printer on a wireless network
v11382445 - JLABRA
Wireless network compatibility
Your printer contains an IEEE 802.11n wireless print server. Your printer is compatible with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n routers
that are Wi-Fi certified.
v11222789 - JROSENBE
Supported network security options
The printer supports three wireless security options: no security, WEP, and WPA/WPA2.
No Security
It is not recommended to use no security at all on a home wireless network. Using no security means that anyone
within range of your wireless network can use your network resources—including Internet access, if your wireless
network is connected to the Internet. The range of your wireless network may extend far beyond the walls of your
home, allowing access to your network from the street or from your neighbors’ homes.
WEP
WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy) is the most basic and the weakest type of wireless security. WEP security relies on
a series of characters called the WEP key.
Every device on the wireless network must use the same WEP key. WEP security can be used on both ad hoc and
infrastructure networks.
A valid WEP key has:
•Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9
or
•Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
WPA/WPA2
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) offer stronger wireless network security than WEP.
WPA and WPA2 are similar types of security. WPA2 uses a more complex encryption method and is more secure than
WPA. Both WPA and WPA2 use a series of characters, called the WPA pre-shared key or passphrase, to protect wireless
networks from unauthorized access.
A valid WPA passphrase has:
•From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
•Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
Lexmark Confidential until announced
Networking

Every device on the wireless network must use the same WPA passphrase. WPA security is an option only on
infrastructure networks with wireless access points and network cards that support WPA. Most newer wireless
network equipment also offers WPA2 security as an option.
Note: If your network uses WPA or WPA2 security, then select WPA Personal when you are prompted to select the
type of security your network uses.

Information you will need to set up the printer on a wireless
network
To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to know:
•The name of your wireless network. This is also known as the Service Set Identifier (SSID).
•If encryption was used to secure your network.
•The security key (either a WEP key or WPA passphrase) that allows other devices to communicate on the network
if encryption was used to secure your network.
You can locate your network WEP key or WPA passphrase by accessing your wireless access point or router and
checking the security information.
If your wireless access point (wireless router) is using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security, the WEP key should be:
•Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
•Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
If your wireless access point is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security, the WPA passphrase should be:
•From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
•Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key.
Note: If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, launch the wireless utility of
the computer network adapter and look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security information
for your network, see the documentation that came with the wireless access point, or contact your system support
person.

Creating an ad hoc wireless network
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, you should configure the
printer for use on that network.
Note: The printer can communicate on only one wireless network at a time. Configuring the printer for an ad hoc
wireless network will keep it from working on any other wireless network, either ad hoc or infrastructure.
You can set up an ad hoc network if you:
•Do not have an access point or wireless router
•Do not already have a wireless network (but do have a wireless adapter for your computer)
•Want to set up a standalone network between the printer and a computer with a wireless network adapter
In Windows Vista

4Under Network and Sharing Center, click Connect to a network.
5Click Set up a connection or network when you are prompted to select a network to connect to.
6Click Set up a wireless ad-hoc (computer-to-computer) network, when you are prompted to choose a
connection option, and then click Next.
7Follow the instructions in the “Set up a wireless ad hoc network” wizard. As part of the setup:
aCreate a network name or SSID for the network between the computer and your printer.
bWrite down the name of your network. Be sure to use the exact spelling and capitalization.
cGo to the Security Type list, select WEP, and then create a WEP key.
WEP keys must be:
•Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a–f, and 0-9.
or
•Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard
dWrite down the password for your network. 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.

Networking FAQ
v9574876 - JLABRA
What is Wi-Fi Protected Setup?
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a product certification that provides simple and secure configuration. WPS assists
users in establishing wireless home networks and enabling network security without requiring prior knowledge of
Wi-Fi technology. WPS configures the network name (SSID) and WPA passphrase for network devices. WPS only
supports networks that communicate through access points or routers and is not applicable in ad hoc networks.
We support the following methods in adding new wireless network devices:
•Personal Identification Number (PIN)—A PIN from the new device is entered into the access point.
•Push Button Configuration (PBC)—The user pushes a button on both the access point and the new device.
Look for any of these identifier marks to check if your device is WPS certified:
You can find these WPS logos on the side, back, or top of your access point or router.
v10328494 - JROSENBE
Where do I find my WEP key or WPA passphrase?
To find the WEP key or WPA passphrase for the wireless network, view the security settings on the access point or
wireless router. Most access points have a Web page that can be accessed using a Web browser.
You can also check the manual that came with your access point or router. If your access point or router is using the
default settings, you can find the information in the manual. If someone else set up your network for you, that person
or company may have included the information in the manual.
If you do not know how to access the Web page, or if you do not have administrator access to the wireless access
point on your network, and are unable to locate the information in the manual, contact your system support person.

What is an SSID?
A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name that identifies a wireless network. All devices on the network must know
the SSID of the wireless network or they will not be able to communicate with each other. Usually, the wireless network
broadcasts the SSID to allow wireless devices in the area to connect to it. Sometimes, the SSID is not broadcast for
security reasons.
If the SSID of your wireless network is not broadcast, it cannot be detected automatically and will not show up in the
list of available wireless networks. You must enter the network information manually in this situation.
An SSID can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
v7963057 - JROSENBE
Where do I find my SSID?
You can find the SSID for the wireless network by viewing the settings on the access point or wireless router. Most
access points have a built-in Web server that can be accessed using a Web browser.
Many network adapters provide a software application that allows you to view the wireless settings of your computer,
including your SSID. Check your computer to see if a program was installed with your network adapter.
If you are unable to locate your SSID using either of these methods, contact your system support person.
v10999244 - JROSENBE
What is a network?
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 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 network adapter attached or installed that lets it receive and
transmit radio waves.
v7687179 - AESTOQUI
How do I find out what type of security my network is using?
You must know the WEP key or WPA passphrase and the type of security (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) used on the wireless
network. To obtain this information, see the documentation that came with your wireless access point (wireless
router), see the Web page associated with the wireless access point, or consult your system support person.
Note: The WEP key or WPA passphrase is not the same as the password for the wireless access point. The password
allows you to access the wireless access point settings. The WEP key or WPA passphrase allows printers and computers
to join your wireless network.
v8002222 - JROSENBE
How are home networks configured?
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.

How are infrastructure and ad hoc networks different?
Wireless networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure or ad hoc.
In infrastructure mode, all devices on a wireless network communicate with each other through a wireless router
(wireless access point). Devices on the wireless network must have valid IP addresses for the current network and
share the same SSID and channel as the wireless access point.
In ad hoc mode, a computer with a wireless network adapter communicates directly with a printer equipped with a
wireless print server. The computer must have a valid IP address for the current network and be set to ad hoc mode.
The wireless print server must be configured to use the same SSID and channel that the computer is using.

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 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.
The strength of the signal received by your computer can also affect the connectivity of the printer with the network
during configuration. When you installed the wireless adapter in your computer, the adapter software probably
placed an icon in your system tray. Try double-clicking this icon, and it will tell you how strongly the computer is
receiving the wireless signal from the network.
To improve signal quality, remove sources of interference and/or move wireless devices closer to the wireless access
point (wireless router).
Lexmark Confidential until announced
Networking
114
v10999262 - JROSENBE
How can I improve wireless signal strength?
A common reason wireless printers fail to communicate over a network is poor wireless signal quality. If the signal
is too weak, too distorted, or blocked by an object, it cannot carry information between the access point and the
printer. To determine if the printer is receiving a strong signal from the access point, print a network setup page. The
Quality field indicates the relative strength of the wireless signal the printer is receiving. Drops in signal strength can
be intermittent, however, and although the signal quality appears high, it may drop during certain conditions.
If you think signal strength is a problem between your access point and the printer, try one or more of the following:
Notes:
•The solutions below are for infrastructure networks. If you are using an ad hoc network, adjust the computer
when the solution suggests adjusting the access point.
•Ad hoc networks have a much shorter range than infrastructure networks. Try moving the printer closer to the
computer if they seem to have trouble communicating.

If the printer is too far away from the access point, it will not be able to communicate with other devices on the
network. For most indoor wireless networks, the maximum distance between the access point and the printer is
approximately 100 feet (30 meters). This distance could be longer or shorter, depending upon the layout of the
network and the limitations of the access point.
REMOVE OBSTACLES BETWEEN THE ACCESS POINT AND THE PRINTER
The wireless signal from your access point will pass through most objects. Most walls, floors, furniture and other
objects will not block the wireless signal. However, there are materials that are too dense for the signal to pass
through. Objects containing metal and concrete can block the signal. Arrange your printer and access point so
that the signal is not blocked by such objects.
REMOVE SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE
Other types of radio frequencies can cause problems with the wireless signal on your network. These sources of
interference can cause printing issues that seem to come and go. Turn off potential sources of interference where
possible. Avoid using microwaves and cordless phones when printing over your wireless network.
If another wireless network is operating in the vicinity, change the wireless channel on the access point.
Do not place your access point on a printer or other electronic device. Such devices can also interfere with the
wireless signal.
ARRANGE THE NETWORK TO REDUCE SIGNAL ABSORPTION
Even when the wireless signal is able to pass through an object, it is slightly weakened. If it passes through too
many objects, it can be significantly weakened. All objects absorb part of the wireless signal when it passes through
them, and certain types of objects absorb enough to cause communications problems. Place your access point as
high in the room as possible to avoid signal absorption.

How can I make sure my computer and printer are connected to the
same wireless network?
If the printer is not on the same wireless network as the computer, you will not be able to print wirelessly. The SSID
of the printer must match the SSID of the computer, if the computer is already connected to the wireless network.
For Windows users
1Obtain the SSID of the network that the computer is connected to:
aType the IP address of your wireless access point (wireless router) into the address field of your Web browser.
If you do not know the IP address of the wireless access point:
1Click , or click Start and then click Run.
2In the Start Search or Run box, type cmd.
3Press Enter, or click OK.
The Command Prompt window opens.
4Type ipconfig, and then press Enter. Check the Wireless Network Connection section:
•The “Default Gateway” entry is typically the wireless access point.
•The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.2.134.
bType the user name and password of the router when prompted.
cClick OK.
dOn the main page, click Wireless or any other selection where settings are stored. The SSID will be displayed.
eWrite down the SSID.
Note: Make sure you copy it exactly, including any capital letters.
2Print the printer network setup page.
In the Wireless section, look for SSID.
3Compare the SSID of the computer and SSID of the printer.
If the SSIDs are the same, then the computer and the printer are connected to the same wireless network.
If the SSIDs are not the same, then run the utility again to set up the printer on the wireless network used by the
computer.
For Macintosh users with an AirPort base station
In Mac OS X version 10.5
1From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
2Click Network.
3Click AirPort.

What is a MAC address?
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a 48-bit identifier associated with the hardware of network equipment. The
MAC address may also be called the physical address because it is connected to the hardware of a device instead of
its software. The MAC address is displayed as a hexadecimal number in this format: 01-23-45-67-89-AB.
Every device capable of communicating on a network has a MAC address. Network printers, computers, and routers,
whether Ethernet or wireless, all have MAC addresses.
Lexmark Confidential until announced
Networking
117
While it is possible to change the MAC address of a network device, it is not common practice to do so. For this reason,
MAC addresses are considered permanent. IP addresses are easily changed, so MAC addresses are a more reliable
method of identifying a specific device on a network.
Routers with security capabilities may allow filtering of MAC addresses on networks. This allows a managed list of
devices to access the network, identified by their MAC addresses. MAC address filtering can help prevent access on
the network from unwanted devices, such as from intruders on a wireless network. MAC address filtering can also
prevent legitimate access if you forget to add a new device to the router's list of allowed addresses. If your network
uses MAC address filtering, be sure to add the MAC address of the printer to the list of allowed devices.
v10250478 - JLABRA
How do I find 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.
When installing the printer on a network, make sure you select the printer with the correct MAC address.
The MAC address label is located inside the printer.
The MAC address of the internal print server is a series of letters and numbers. Other devices sometimes use a type
of MAC address called Universally Administered Address (UAA).
Note: A list of MAC addresses can be set on an access point (router) so that only devices with matching MAC addresses
are allowed to operate on the network. This is called MAC filtering. If MAC filtering is enabled in your access point and
you want to add a printer to your network, then the MAC address of the printer must be included in the MAC filter
list.

What is an IP address?
An IP address is a unique number used by devices (such as a wireless printer, computer, or wireless access point) on
an IP network to locate and communicate with each other. Devices on an IP network can communicate with each
other only 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.
An IP address is a group of four numbers separated by periods. An example of an IP address is 192.168.100.110.
v6677687 - JROSENBE
What is TCP/IP?
Networks are able to function because computers, printers, and other devices are able to send data to each other,
either through cables or by using wireless signals. This transfer of data is made possible by sets of data transmission
rules called protocols. A protocol can be thought of as a language, and like a language, it has rules allowing participants
to communicate with each other.
Different types of networks use different protocols, but Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the
most popular. TCP/IP is used to send data over the Internet as well as over most corporate and home networks.
Because computers do not understand words and instead rely upon numbers for communication, TCP/IP requires
that every device on a network using TCP/IP to communicate must have an IP address. IP addresses are essentially
unique computer names in a numeric format, used to transfer data around a network. IP addresses allow TCP/IP to
confirm requests for and receipt of data by various devices on the network.
v10418701 - JROSENBE
How do I locate IP addresses?

1Click , or click Start and then click Run.
2In the Start Search or Run box, type cmd.

4Type ipconfig, and then press Enter.
The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.100.
For Macintosh users
1From the Apple menu, choose About This Mac.
2Click More Info.
3From the Contents pane, choose Network.

How to locate a printer IP address
•You can locate the printer IP address by viewing the printer network setup page.
Lexmark Confidential until announced

v7486827
How are IP addresses assigned?
An IP address may be assigned automatically by the network using DHCP. Once the printer is set up on a computer,
the computer sends all print jobs across the network to the printer using this address.
If the IP address is not automatically assigned, you will be asked during wireless setup to manually enter an address
and other network information after selecting your printer from the available list.
v7901898 - JROSENBE
What is a key index?
A wireless access point (wireless router) can be configured with as many as four WEP keys. Only one key is used on
the network at a time, however. The keys are numbered, and the number of a key is referred to as its key index. All
devices on the wireless network must be configured to use the same key index when multiple WEP keys are configured
on the wireless access point.
Select the same key index on your printer as you are using on your wireless access point.

Fax troubleshooting checklist
If you encounter problems sending and receiving faxes, then check the connection first:
1Check for a dial tone on the telephone line by plugging an analog telephone into the wall jack, DSL filter, VoIP
device, or cable modem where you connected the printer. Make sure you plug the telephone into the same port.
If you do not hear a dial tone, then contact your line provider.
2While the printer is connected to the telephone line, check for a dial tone by plugging an analog telephone into
the port of the printer.
If you do not hear a dial tone, then use the checklist below. Listen for a dial tone after checking each item.
If you hear a dial tone but still have problems sending and receiving faxes, then see the other topics in this section.
Connection checklist
•Make sure that the printer and other devices on the line (if applicable) are set up and configured correctly
according to your setup scenario.
•Make sure that the cables are connected to the correct ports.
•Make sure that the cables are securely plugged in.
Check the cable connections for the following hardware, if applicable:
Power supply Answering machine Cable modem Splitter
Telephone VoIP adapter DSL filter RJ-11 adapter
•If the printer is connected to a Digital Subscriber Line, then make sure you are using a DSL filter for the printer.
•If the printer is connected to a VoIP adapter or cable modem, then make sure that the printer is plugged into the
first phone port.
•If you are using a splitter, then make sure that you are using a phone splitter. Do not use a line splitter.

Cannot send faxes
If the “Fax troubleshooting checklist” does not solve the problem, then try one or more of the following:
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE REGISTERED YOUR USER INFORMATION IN THE PRINTER
If you did not enter your user information during initial setup, then enter your fax name and fax number. In some
countries, you cannot send a fax without entering your fax name or company name. Some fax machines also block
unknown faxes or faxes without sender information.
DECREASE THE TRANSMISSION SPEED OF THE FAX MODEM
The modem of the printer can transmit data at 33,600 bps. This is the maximum speed at which the printer can
send and receive faxes. It is not necessary, however, to set the modem to its fastest transmission capability. The
speed of the modem of the receiving fax machine must match or be greater than the speed at which you are
sending your fax. Otherwise, your fax will not be received.
To decrease the transmission speed of the modem:

Wi-Fi indicator light is still orange
When the Wi-Fi indicator light is orange, it may indicate that the printer is:
•Not configured in infrastructure mode
•Waiting to make an ad hoc connection to another wireless device
•Not connected to a wireless network
The printer may be unable to join the network because of interference, its distance from the wireless access point
(wireless router), or until its settings are changed.
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
CHECK NETWORK NAME
Make sure your network does not have the same name as another network near you. For example, if you and your
neighbor both use a manufacturer's default network name, your printer could be connecting to your neighbor's
network.
Lexmark Confidential until announced

If you are not using a unique network name, consult the documentation for your wireless access point (wireless
router) to learn how to set a network name.
If you set a new network name, you must reset the printer and computer SSID to the same network name.
CHECK SECURITY KEYS
If you are using WEP security
A valid WEP key is:
•Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
•Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard.
If you are using WPA security
A valid WPA passphrase is:
•From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
•Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key. Using a wireless network with
no security is not recommended because it can allow intruders to use your network resources without your consent.
MOVE THE COMPUTER AND/OR PRINTER CLOSER TO THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINT (WIRELESS ROUTER)
The possible distance between devices in 802.11b or 802.11g networks is 300 feet, while the wireless network
range potentially doubles in 802.11n networks. The range of your wireless network depends on many factors,
including the abilities of your router and network adapters. If you are having trouble printing, try placing the
computer and printer no more than 100 feet apart.
You can find the strength of the network signal on the printer network setup page.
CHECK MAC ADDRESS
If your network uses MAC address filtering, make sure that you include the MAC address of the printer in the MAC
address filter list. This will allow the printer to operate on the network.

•Temporarily turn off any unnecessary wireless devices on your network and pause any network-intensive
activities, like large file transfers or network games. If the network is too busy, it is possible that the printer is
not receiving the IP address within the allowed time.
•Make sure your DHCP server, which may also be your wireless router, is working and is configured to assign IP
addresses. If you are not sure how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your wireless router for more
information.
If the printer and computer have valid IP addresses and the network is operation correctly, continue

Resolving intermittent wireless communications issues
You may notice that your printer works for a short time and then stops working, although apparently nothing has
changed on your wireless network.
Many different issues can interrupt network communications, and sometimes more than one problem exists at the
same time. These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
DISCONNECT FROM ALL VPNS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE THE WIRELESS NETWORK
Most Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) allow computers to communicate with only the VPN and no other network
at the same time. Disconnect from the VPN before installing the driver on the computer or before running the
wireless setup on the computer.
To check if the computer is currently connected to a VPN, open your VPN Client software and check your VPN
connections. If you do not have a VPN Client software installed, check the connections manually using the Windows
VPN Client.
If you would like to have the ability to connect to your local network and to a VPN at the same time, the system
support person for the VPN must enable split tunneling. Be aware that some organizations will not allow split
tunneling due to security or technical concerns.
TURN OFF THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINT (WIRELESS ROUTER) AND TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN
ELIMINATE NETWORK CONGESTION
If a wireless network is too busy, the computer and printer may have difficulty communicating with each other.
Some causes of wireless network congestion can include:
•Transferring large files across the network
•Networked games
•Peer-to-peer file swapping applications
•Streaming video
•Too many computers on the wireless network at once
ELIMINATE SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE
Common household items can potentially disrupt wireless network communications. Cordless phones (but not
cellular phones), microwave ovens, baby monitors, almost any kitchen appliance, wireless surveillance equipment,
nearby wireless networks, and any appliance containing a motor can disrupt wireless network communications.
Try turning on any potential sources of interference and see if it causes the problem. If it does, separate your wireless
network from the device.
CHANGE THE CHANNEL THE WIRELESS ROUTER USES
You can sometimes eliminate interference from unknown sources by changing the channel your wireless router
uses to broadcast. There are three distinct channels on a router. Check the documentation that came with your
router to determine which three apply. Other channels are offered as options, but these overlap. If the router is
configured to use the default settings, change the channel setting to use a different distinct channel. Refer to the
manual that came with your wireless router if you are not sure how to change the channel.
Lexmark Confidential until announced
Troubleshooting
159
CONFIGURE THE WIRELESS ROUTER WITH A UNIQUE SSID
Many wireless networks use the SSID that the router was originally configured by the manufacturer to use. Using
the default SSID can cause problems when more than one network is operating in the same area with the same
SSID. The printer or computer may attempt to attach to the wrong network, although it will appear to be trying to
connect to the correct network.
To avoid this type of interference, change the SSID on your wireless router from the default. Refer to the manual
that came with your router if you are not sure how to change the SSID.
Note: You must change the SSID on all of the other devices that access your wireless network if you change the
SSID on the router.
ASSIGN STATIC IP ADDRESSES TO ALL DEVICES IN THE NETWORK
Most wireless networks use a DHCP server (dynamic host configuration protocol) built in to the wireless router to
assign IP addresses to clients on the wireless network. DHCP addresses are assigned when they are needed, as
when a new device is added to the wireless network or when it is powered on. Wireless devices must send a request
to the router, and receive an IP address in response so they can function on the network. Because the router
performs many other tasks besides assigning addresses, it sometimes does not respond quickly enough with an
address. The requesting device sometimes gives up before it receives an address.
Try assigning static IP addresses to the devices in your network to resolve this issue. Static IP addresses cut down
on the work your wireless router has to do. Refer to the manual that came with your router and your operating
system documentation if you are not sure how to assign static IP addresses.
To assign a static IP address to the printer, do the following:
1Complete the wireless setup, allowing the printer to receive a DHCP address from a DHCP server on the network.
2Print a network setup page to see what IP address is currently assigned to the printer.
3Open a Web browser and then type the printer IP address in the address field. Press Enter.
The printer Web page loads.
4Click the Configuration link.
5Click the TCP/IP link.
6Click the Set Static IP Address link.
7Type the IP address you want to assign to the printer in the IP Address field.
8Click the Submit button.
The Submitting Selection message appears.
Confirm that the IP address is updated by typing the static IP address in the browser address field and checking to
see if the printer Web page reloads.
CHECK FOR KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE WIRELESS ROUTER
Some wireless routers have documented defects that were identified and resolved by the manufacturers. Visit the
company Web site of the router manufacturer. Check for firmware updates and other advice from the manufacturer.
Check the manual that came with your wireless router if you are not sure how to reach the manufacturer Web site.
Lexmark Confidential until announced
Troubleshooting
160
CHECK FOR WIRELESS ADAPTER UPDATES
If you are having trouble printing from one particular computer, check the Web site of the manufacturer of the
network adapter card in that computer. It is possible that there is an updated driver available that could resolve
the issue.
CHANGE ALL NETWORK DEVICES TO THE SAME TYPE
While it is possible to successfully mix 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices on the same wireless network, the
faster devices will sometimes prevent the slower devices from communicating. Wireless devices are designed to
wait for a gap in wireless network communications before attempting to send information. If newer, faster devices
are constantly using the wireless network, then older, slower devices will not have a chance to send data.
Try only turning on the network devices of the same type and see if network communications improve. If this solves
the problem, you may want to upgrade your older devices with newer network adapters.
PURCHASE A NEW ROUTER
If your router is several years old, it may not be fully compatible with the newer wireless devices on your network.
Consider purchasing a newer router that is fully compliant with the 802.11 IEEE specifications.
