Additional printer setup 16 Note: When the printer software and any hardware options are installed, you may need to manually add the options in the printer driver to make them available for print jobs. For more information, see "Adding available options in the print driver" on page 28. Installing an Internal Solutions Port The controller board supports one optional LexmarkTM Internal Solutions Port (ISP). This option is supported only in the M3150de printer model. Note: This task requires a flat‑head screwdriver. CAUTION-SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the controller board or installing optional hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer. Warning-Potential Damage: Controller board electronic components are easily damaged by static electricity. Touch a metal surface on the printer before touching any controller board electronic components or connectors. 1 Open the controller board access door.
