Setup  
Prerequisites  
You may have purchased a printer that has Ethernet, Token-Ring or other  
network ports preinstalled. If not, you should install a MarkNet™ internal print  
server now. Refer to your printer documentation for instructions on opening  
the printer and plugging in the card.  
MarkNet internal print  
servers are sometimes called  
internal network adapters or  
INAs.  
1
Attach the printer to the network  
a Turn printer power off. Unplug the power cord.  
b Plug the network cable into the network port.  
c Plug the power cord in and turn the printer power on.  
Connect only one network  
cable even if the MarkNet  
print server has more than one  
network port.  
You never have to worry about  
setting the network speed on a  
MarkNet print server. For  
example, the MarkNet 10/100  
Ethernet card automatically  
senses if your network is 10  
Mbps or 100 Mbps and  
adjusts itself for that speed.  
Some MarkNet print servers  
have additional ports that are  
used for other functions such  
as copying or faxing. These  
functions are outside the scope  
of this book.

Look for the UAA (universally  
administered address) under  
the Network heading on the  
setup page. The UAA is a  
12-digit number. The left  
column shows the address in  
MSB form and the right  
column shows the address in  
canonical form.  
Print a network setup page  
Use the printer operator panel to print the network setup page. (Hint: Network  
Menu/Network Option x/Network x Setup/Print/Print Setup Page).  
The network setup page shows the physical address (UAA) of the MarkNet  
print server and other important data. Save this page because you will use it  
later.  
The UAA is preset at the  
factory. However, you can  
override it with an optional  
locally administered address  
(LAA) if you want some  
particular physical address for  
this print server.

You may have more than one version of this CD, received at different times  
with different Lexmark products. Always use the latest version CD.  
TCP/IP  
Step 1: Set the IP address, netmask and gateway  
For instructions on other ways  
to set the IP address, look on  
the Drivers, MarkVision and  
Utilities CD. Click View  
Documentation and look for  
the MarkNet link.  
You must assign an IP address, netmask and gateway to the MarkNet print  
server for other network devices to find the printer on the network.  
If you have DHCP, the proper address values are automatically assigned.  
To verify the assignment has happened, print a network setup page and  
make sure the IP address, netmask and gateway appear as non-zero.

If you dont have DHCP, there are other methods you can use to manually  
assign the address, such as the printer operator panel, static ARP and  
telnet, RARP and telnet, BOOTP, or MarkVision or other Lexmark utility.  
Instructions for three of these methods follow.  
Printer operator panel  
A simple way to set the IP address, netmask and gateway inside the print server  
is to use the printer operator panel. You need to be standing at the printer to use  
this method.  
1 On the printer operator panel, choose Network Menu, Network Option x,  
Network x Setup, TCP/ IP, Set IP Address. (Hint: Press Menu> until you see  
the correct menu item, and then press Select.)  
“x” designates which option  
slot is being used. For  
example, if you install the  
MarkNet print server in  
option slot 2, the operator  
panel selection would read:  
Network Option 2.  
2 When the current IP address is displayed, use the buttons to change the  
address. (Hint: Pressing Select advances to the next segment in the address.  
Pressing Menu> increases the number by one. <Menu decreases the number by  
one.)  
3 When you finish setting the IP address, press Select until the word SAVED  
appears briefly.  
4 Set the IP netmask and gateway in a similar way.  
5 Print a new network setup page to verify the parameters are set as you  
intended.  
Static ARP and telnet  
You can use this method from any Windows, OS/ 2, or UNIX workstation. You  
need to know the physical address of the print server to use this method.  
1 Find the physical address (UAA) of the print server (for example,  
00200022012F) on the network setup page you printed earlier. If you have  
an Ethernet network, use the number in the right column (canonical). If  
you have a Token-Ring network, use the number in the left column (MSB).  
The workstation and the  
printer must be on the same  
subnet.  
2 Set the IP address in your workstation ARP table. At a command prompt,  
type a command similar to the following, inserting the IP address you  
want to assign and the UAA:  
arp -s 192.168.236.24 00-20-00-22-01-2F  
3 Set the IP address, netmask and gateway in the print server. To do this,  
telnet to port 9000 on the MarkNet print server by typing a command  
similar to the following:  
telnet 192.168.236.24 9000  
4 Verify the print server is up and running on the network.  
ping 192.168.236.24

Print server TCP/IP setup utility  
It doesnt matter which form of  
the UAA you use (MSB or  
canonical).  
You can use this simple utility to initialize the printer IP address if your  
workstation is running Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT and is on the  
same subnet as the printer. You need to know the 12-digit physical address of  
the print server to use this method.  
Information on installing,  
using and troubleshooting the  
utility resides on the CD.  
To install the utility, launch the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD, do a  
custom install to add network support, and select Print Server TCP/ IP Setup  
Utility.  
Once the IP address has been set (using any method), you can  
use your browser to remotely view and manage the network  
printer. Functions include viewing printer status in real time,  
resetting the printer, changing settings, and so forth. Type the  
print server IP address in the URL field of the browser (for  
example, http: / / 192.168.236.24) and press Enter.

Step 2: Set up to print  
There are many ways to send a print job, including FTP, TFTP, LPR/ LPD,  
point-to-point (LexIP) and various queue-based methods. Instructions for two  
of the methods follow.  
Print to a queue on a Windows NT server  
If you are using Windows NT  
Server 4.0 or later and  
running TCP/IP, you can use  
Network Plug and Print to  
automate your printer setup  
process.  
This section explains the setup for queue-based printing where network users  
print to a queue defined on a Windows NT server. The MarkNet print server  
services this queue. To use this method, you must have at least one server  
running Windows NT Server software and TCP/ IP.  
The following instructions apply to Windows NT Server versions 4.0 and later.  
1 Install the TCP/ IP software component on the server that contains the  
print queue. This software is necessary to establish the link between the  
MarkNet print server and the queue. Look on the Drivers, MarkVision and  
Utilities CD for the software. (Hint: Do a custom install to add network  
support, and select TCP/IP.)  
2 Set up a print queue on the server. Do this by creating a printer object.  
a Click Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.  
b When prompted, select My Computer (not Network printer server).  
c Click Add Port.  
d Select Lexmark Network Port, and then click New Port. Follow the  
instructions on the screen.  
e Share the queue.

3 Set up your Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT clients in the usual  
way. (Hint: Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.)  
Point-to-point printing (LexIP)  
You can print from any Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT workstation  
directly to a Lexmark printer located anywhere on the IP network. No server is  
required.  
1 Install the TCP/ IP software component on the workstation. Look on the  
Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD for the software. (Hint: Do a custom  
install to add network support, and select TCP/IP.)  
These are the Windows 95/98  
instructions. Instructions for  
Windows NT are on the  
Drivers, MarkVision and  
Utilities CD.  
2 Create a printer object on the workstation:  
a Click Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.  
b When prompted, select Local Printer (not Network). This gives you  
access to the Lexmark Network Printer Monitor later.  
c Select the correct printer driver.  
You can obtain the latest  
Lexmark printer drivers from  
our web site located at:  
d Select any port (LPT, COM, or FILE) for the initial setup. Later, you will  
change the port to a logical port.  
e Click Next, and continue following the instructions on the screen until  
the printer object has been created.  
3 Associate the printer object with the physical printer.  
a Select the newly created printer object in the printers folder.  
b Click File, Properties, Details, Add Port.  
c Click Other, Lexmark Network Printer Monitor, OK. A list of available  
print servers is shown. If your print server does not appear in the list,  
click Add Adapter and follow the instructions on the screen until it  
does appear.  
d Find the IP address of your print server in the list and select it.  
e Specify a logical port name to associate with the printer, and click OK.  
f
Verify that the logical port name you assigned to the printer now shows  
in the box labeled Print to the following port.  
g Click OK.

Novell NetWare  
NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services)  
Some versions of the Drivers,  
MarkVision and Utilities CD  
contain the Lexmark NDPS IP  
Gateway. To find out if your  
CD contains the gateway, look  
on the CD for a subdirectory  
named NDPS.  
If you have MarkNet print servers in an NDPS environment, we recommend  
that you install the Lexmark NDPS IP Gateway. This allows your printers to be  
tightly integrated with NDPS so that you can easily monitor, control and print  
to them.  
You can get the gateway plus all support files and installation procedures from  
the Lexmark web site (www.lexmark.com).  
Non-NDPS (queue-based)  
The easiest way to configure the print server for NetWare jobs in a non-NDPS  
environment is to use MarkVision. MarkVision automatically creates all the  
necessary NetWare objects (print queue objects, print server objects, and printer  
objects).  
Do the following from a Windows NT workstation running Novell NetWare  
Client32 software, or from a Windows 95 or Windows 98 workstation running  
either Novell Client32 or Microsoft Client for NetWare networks.  
1 Install the NetWare software component on the workstation. Look on the  
Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD for the software. (Hint: Do a custom  
install to add network support, and select NetWare.)  
2 Launch MarkVision. In the MarkVision main window, find the new  
network printer. Look for the line item containing your print servers  
physical address (the MSB form of the print server UAA).  
The default login name  
3 Double-click the network printer. Configure the MarkNet print server by  
contains the characters !LEX  
plus the UAA of the MarkNet  
print server (for example,  
!LEX00200022012F).  
doing the following:  
a Set a unique NetWare login name. This is the name the print server uses  
to log in to the NetWare server.  
b Enable the MarkNet port.  
c Select PSERVER mode.  
For information about  
choosing PSERVER or  
RPRINTER mode, look on the  
CD. Click View  
If you want to manage NDS queues, you must specify the NDS tree  
and context where the MarkNet print server is defined. You also  
need to create or select queues to be serviced.  
Documentation and look for  
the MarkNet link.  
If you want to manage bindery queues, you must first specify the  
file servers. Afterward, you must create or select queues to be  
serviced.  
4 If prompted to reset the print server, select Yes to immediately begin  
servicing the queues.

AppleTalk  
The MarkNet print server works automatically with AppleTalk networks. You  
simply connect the power and the network cables, and youre up and running.  
However, if you would like to use a zone and printer name different from the  
defaults you can use MarkVision for Macintosh to change these settings.  
MarkVision for Macintosh  
resides on the Drivers,  
MarkVision and Utilities CD.  
Each Macintosh user on the AppleTalk network who wants to use the printer  
should do the following steps.  
1 In the Chooser, select the LaserWriter 8 driver.  
2 If you have a routed network, there is a list of zones you can select from.  
The new printer is in the default zone for the network. Select this zone. If  
you dont know which zone to select, look on the network setup page  
under AppleTalk for Zone.  
3 Select the new printer. If you dont know which printer to select, look on  
the network setup page under AppleTalk. The default name of the printer  
is listed beside Name.  
4 Click Create.  
5 If you are prompted to select a PPD (PostScript Printer Description), you  
need to install the proper PPD from the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities  
CD. To do this, launch the CD, click Lexmark Installer, select the  
appropriate PPD for your printer, and then click Install. Go back to the  
Chooser and try to create the new printer again.  
A PPD describes the printer or  
printer family. For example,  
the PPD lists which options  
are valid for the printer.  
6 Look for an icon to appear in the Chooser next to the printer name. This  
means you have successfully set up the new printer. A new desktop  
printer icon is placed on your desktop, too.  
7 In the Chooser, select the printer you want to use now and close the  
Chooser window.  
OS/2 Warp Server  
MarkNet print servers work on OS/ 2 Warp Server networks. Users can print to  
the network printer from any client that can successfully attach to the network.  
For instructions on configuring the print server for OS/ 2 networks, look on the  
Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD. Click View Documentation and look for  
the MarkNet link.
