Step 8: Attach the cables CAUTION!When connecting a cable to the printer from another powered component such as a computer or external fax modem, make sure you turn off and unplug the component power cord before connecting any cables to the printer. You can attach your printer to a LAN by: • Connecting the printer directly to the server using a parallel, USB, or serial cable. Your printer standard parallel port requires an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable. We recommend Lexmark part number 1329605 (10 ft) or 1427498 (20 ft). If you use something other than an IEEE-compliant cable, you may not be able to access all of your printer functions. If you're attaching a serial cable, we recommend Lexmark part number 1038693 (50 ft). Attach the cable to the serial connector on the optional tri-port interface card you installed in the printer. • Connecting the printer directly to the LAN: - Use an external print server such as Lexmark's MarkNet Pro. - Use a print server, such as the MarkNet N2000 Series server described on page 37. - Use the optional tri-port interface card to connect to a LocalTalk network. For more information about your particular interface card, refer to the documentation that came with it. Attach the cables 61

Attach the cables
Step 8:
Attach the cables
You can attach your printer to a LAN by:
•
Connecting the printer directly to the server
using a parallel, USB, or serial cable.
Your printer standard parallel port requires
an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable. We
recommend Lexmark part number 1329605
(10 ft) or 1427498 (20 ft). If you use some-
thing other than an IEEE-compliant cable,
you may not be able to access all of your
printer functions.
If you
’
re attaching a serial cable, we recom-
mend Lexmark part number 1038693 (50 ft).
Attach the cable to the serial connector on
the optional tri-port interface card you
installed in the printer.
CAUTION!
When connecting a cable to
the printer from another powered com-
ponent such as a computer or external
fax modem, make sure you turn off and
unplug the component power cord
before connecting any cables to the
printer.
•
Connecting the printer directly to the LAN:
–
Use an external print server such as Lex-
mark
’
s MarkNet Pro.
–
Use a print server, such as the
MarkNet N2000 Series server described
on page 37.
–
Use the optional tri-port interface card to
connect to a LocalTalk network.
For more information about your particular
interface card, refer to the documentation
that came with it.
