Network Support
Installing an internal print server enables you to connect your printer to a local area
network (LAN). The print server supports these network interfaces:
• The Token-Ring print server conforms to IEEE 802.5 using either IBM Cabling
System (STP) or unshielded twisted-pair cable, which meets the IBM Cabling
System Type 3 Media Specification (UTP).
• The Ethernet Combined 10BaseT and 10Base2 print server conforms to
IEEE 802.3 with Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable for
the 10BaseT and conforms to IEEE 802.3 with RG58 coaxial cable for the
10Base2.
• The Ethernet 10/100BaseTX print server conforms to the IEEE 802.3
standard for 10BaseT networks using Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-
pair (UTP) cabling, and to the IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard for
100BaseTX networks using Category 5 UTP cabling.
For information on installing a print server in your printer, refer to your printer user
documentation.
You may also connect your printer to a LAN by using an external print server. Use one
of the following:
• Lexmark MarkNet print servers
• IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters (IBM 4033)
Note: Network capabilities are standard on some printer models. Refer to your
printer user documentation for more information.
