Frequently asked questions Q: I am currently sharing my printer by way of the operating system (OS). What are the benefits of having the adapter? A: Sharing your printer by way of the OS requires the printer to be attached to a host computer that must be powered on while printing. The Lexmark N1 adapter gives you the freedom to place your printer anywhere in your home or office without being attached to a host computer. Q: My new printer has diagnostic utilities to report the status or condition of my print cartridges and ink levels. Will this utility still work with the adapter? A: Yes. The Lexmark N1 adapter was designed specifically to work with your Lexmark printer. Therefore, it maintains the printer's full functionality. Q: Can each computer on my network send a print job at the same time? A: Yes. Each computer automatically waits until the adapter is ready to receive a new print job. If the printer is busy printing a job from another computer, you will receive the status message "Waiting for Printer". The message displays until the printer can process your print job. Q: What happens if power to the adapter is interrupted while I am printing? A: Whether your printer is locally attached or connected to an adapter, loss of power during printing may cause data loss. You may need to resend your print job after power is restored. Q: How do I change the IP address of my network printer? A: See Manually configure the network printer on page 23.
