Step 1: Select a location
for your printer
CAUTION! The printer weighs 46.8 kg
(103 lbs) and requires at least two
people to lift it safely.
Choosing the correct location for your
Lexmark™ W820 laser printer is vital to
ensuring that the printer provides you
with the quality of service you expect.
Some factors to consider when selecting
a place to set up your printer include:
Allowing enough space
•
The amount of space your printer
and any options will require
•
The type of environment
necessary for optimum printer
performance
When choosing a place to set up your
printer, be sure to allow enough space
for the printer and any options you may
have purchased.
You will also need to leave enough room
to open the printer paper trays and side
doors, and to access any optional output
bins. It’s also important to allow space
for proper ventilation around the printer.

Considering
environmental issues
Moving the printer
When choosing a place to set up the
printer, make sure the location you select
is:
•
A firm, level surface where the
printer won’t be subjected to
strong vibration
•
Well ventilated
•
Away from the direct airflow of air
conditioners, heaters, or
ventilators
•
Free of temperature or humidity
extremes or fluctuations
•
Clean, dry, and free of dust
•
Away from direct sunlight
At some point in the future you may
decide to move the printer to a new
location. The publications CD provides

Select a location for your printer
Because the printer is heavy
(approximately 46.8 kg [103 lbs]),
two people are required to lift it

you move the printer. If the printer
is moved with the cartridge
installed, toner may spill out and
damage the printer.
Be sure to plug the printer into a
properly grounded outlet in the
new location.

Step 13: Attach cables
You can attach your printer to a network or locally (directly to a
computer).
Network printing
You can attach your printer to a network using standard network
cables.
A 10BaseT/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet port is standard on the
Lexmark W820n and Lexmark W820dn. You can add a Token-Ring or
10Base2 Ethernet port to any printer model by installing an optional
MarkNet internal print server.
To attach the printer to a network:
1
2
Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged.
Connect the printer to a LAN drop or hub using standard
cabling that is compatible with your network.
The printer automatically adjusts itself for the network speed.
— Token-Ring, Ethernet 10BaseT, or Ethernet 100BaseTX
networks (Category 5) use an RJ-45 connector.
Attach cables
89
jp_setup.book Page 90 Friday, February 16, 2001 7:42 AM
— Token-Ring networks (Shielded Twisted Pair) use a DB9
connector.
— Ethernet 10Base2 networks (Thin Coax) use a
BNC T-connector.
Local printing
Note: All Windows operating
systems support parallel
connections. However, only the
Windows 98/Me and Windows
2000 operating systems support
USB connections. Some UNIX,
Linux, and Macintosh computers
also support USB connections.
Consult your computer
documentation to see if your
system supports USB.
You can attach your printer locally using either the standard USB port
or parallel port. A USB port is standard on all Lexmark W820 printer
models. We recommend Lexmark USB cable part number 12A2405
(2 m). The standard parallel port requires an IEEE-1284 compliant
parallel cable, such as Lexmark part number 1329605 (10 ft) or
1427498 (20 ft).
If you install an optional USB/Parallel Interface Card to the
Lexmark W820n or Lexmark W820dn, you need a 1284 A-C parallel
cable, such as Lexmark part number 43H5171 (9.8 ft), or a USB cable
such as Lexmark part number 12A2405 (2 m).
If you have installed an optional Tri-Port Adapter, you can locally
attach the printer with a serial cable. We recommend Lexmark part
number 1038693 (50 ft). For details on LocalTalk or infrared
connections, refer to the documentation that shipped with the Tri-Port
Adapter.
90
Attach cables
jp_setup.book Page 91 Friday, February 16, 2001 7:42 AM
To attach the printer to a computer:
1
Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached
devices are turned off and unplugged.
2
Connect the printer to the computer using a parallel or USB
cable.
— Use an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable to ensure that
you can access all of your printer functions.
— Be sure to match the USB symbol on the cable to the USB
symbol on the printer.

Step 14: Verify printer setup
Turning on the
printer
1
Plug one end of the printer power cord into the socket at the
back of the printer and the other end into a properly grounded
outlet.
2
Turn on the printer. If the printer is attached locally (directly to a
computer), leave the computer and any other attached devices
turned off. You will turn these on in a later step.
The printer requires time to warm up after you turn it on. During
this period, the message Performing Self Test appears on
the operator panel display.
After the printer completes its internal tests, the Ready
message indicates the printer is ready to receive jobs.
If you see other messages on the display, refer to the
publications CD for instructions on clearing the message. Click
Printing, and then click Understanding printer messages.

Changing printer
settings
Changing the
Paper Type setting
Verify that the paper trays are configured for the sizes and
types of paper you loaded.
Depending on the print material you use, you may need to change the
Paper Type and the Paper Size settings.
Paper Type refers to the type of print material loaded in the sources:
plain paper, letterhead, transparencies, card stock, a custom print
material you define, and so on. Since different sources can hold
different print material, you can customize the Paper Type setting for
each source.
The following table shows the default Paper Type settings for the
paper trays:
Note: If you load identical print
material into two or more trays
and then update the printer
Paper Type and Paper Size
settings (if Auto-size sensing is
off) so that they are identical, the
printer automatically links those
trays. With tray linking in effect,
the printer feeds from one tray
until it is empty, and then feeds
from the next linked tray.

Be sure to check the Paper Type listed for each of the installed paper
sources when you print the menu settings page. The printer uses the
Paper Type setting to optimize print quality for the print material you
specified. The Paper Type setting also affects the printer automatic
source selection and tray linking functions. For these reasons, it’s
important to change the setting whenever you change the print
material in a tray or feeder. When you are using the multipurpose
feeder as a manual bypass feeder, the printer prompts you to load the
necessary print material.

Step 15: Configure for TCP/IP
If you have TCP/IP available on your network, we recommend that
you assign an IP address to the printer.
Setting the printer
IP address
Note: You can find instructions
for other methods of setting the
IP address in the online
documentation on the drivers
CD that shipped with your
printer.
If your network is using DHCP, an address is automatically assigned.
1
Look for the address under the TCP/IP heading on the network
setup page you printed in “Printing a network setup page” on
page 93.
2
Go to “Verifying the IP settings” on page 98 and begin with
step 2.
If your network is not using DHCP, then you must manually assign an
IP address. One of the easiest ways is to use the operator panel:
1
Press Menu until you see Network Menu, and then press
Select.
2
Press Menu until you see Standard Network, and then press
Select. (Standard Network appears if you purchased a printer
with an on-board network port.)
If you have an optional MarkNet card installed in slot 1 or 2,
you see Network Option 1 or Network Option 2.
3
Press Menu until you see Std Net Setup, and then press Select.
If you have an optional MarkNet card installed in slot 1 or 2,
you see Network 1 Setup or Network 2 Setup.
4
5
Press Menu until you see TCP/IP, and then press Select.
Press Menu until you see Set IP Address, and then press
Select.
Configure for TCP/IP

Change the address by pressing Menu to increase (or
decrease) each number. Press Select to move to the next
segment. Press Select when you are finished.
The message Saved appears briefly.

Repeat step 6 to set the IP Gateway.
1
Press Menu until you see Set IP Gateway, and then press
Select.
When you are finished, press Go to return the printer to the
Ready state.
Print another network setup page and make sure the IP
Address, Netmask, and Gateway are what you expected.
Use the information in “Printing a network setup page” on
page 93 if you need help.
2
Ping the printer and verify that it responds. For example, at a
command prompt on a network computer type “ping” followed
by the new printer IP address:
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
If the printer is active on the network, you should receive a
reply.
Configuring for
Pull Printing
(ImageQuick)
If your printer has an optional ImageQuick™ firmware card installed,
you can configure for Pull Printing once an IP address has been
assigned to the printer.
For detailed configuration instructions, refer to the online
documentation on the ImageQuick CD. The ImageQuick CD is
shipped with printers that have the ImageQuick optional firmware
card pre-installed, and also with the firmware card if you purchased it
separately.
