Print a network setup page
For more information about
using the printer operator
panel, refer to your printer
documentation.
❏
If your printer is not attached to a network, skip to step 11.
❏
If you completed your network setup during step 1 and already have
your network setup page, skip to step 11.
Use the printer operator panel to print a network setup page (Network Menu/
Network Option x/Network x Setup/Print/Print Setup Page). Save this page because
you will use it in the next step.
Set an IP address in the MarkNet print
server
For instructions about other
ways to set the IP address, look
on the Drivers, MarkVision
and Utilities CD. Click View
Documentation and look for
the MarkNet link.
❏
If you do not have a TCP/IP environment, skip to the next step and use
the OptraImage control panel method of configuring to set up your fax
function.
Assign an IP address, netmask and gateway for other network devices to find
the printer on the network.
Some OptraImage functions,
like scanning to your network,
cannot be configured using the
control panel and require that
you use the MarkNet resident
web server.
Networks using DHCP
If you have DHCP, the proper address values are automatically assigned. Look
for the information on your network setup page. Once you find the address, go
to step 11.
Note:
Some networks take several minutes to communicate with other
devices on the network. If the network setup page doesn’t contain the
information you think it should, such as an automatically assigned IP
address, and then wait a few minutes and try printing the page again.
9
10
Networks not using DHCP
If you don’t have DHCP, there are other methods you can use to manually
assign address values, such as the printer operator panel, static ARP and telnet,
RARP and telnet, BOOTP, MarkVision or other Lexmark utility. Two of these
methods follow.
Warning:
Manually setting an IP address is a task generally performed by a
network administrator and can affect other network settings. Do not
attempt to manually assign an address unless you are sure it is
appropriate to do so.
Method 1: Print server TCP/IP setup utility
It doesn’t matter which form of
the UAA you use (MSB or
canonical).
Information on installing,
using and troubleshooting the
utility resides on the CD.
You can use this simple utility to initialize the IP address if your workstation is
running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000. You need
to know the 12-digit physical address (UAA) of the print server to use this
method. The UAA is on the network setup page you printed earlier.
To install the utility, launch the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD that
shipped with your hardware, do a custom install to add network support, and
then select Print Server TCP/IP Setup Utility. Follow the instructions on the
screen.
Method 2: Printer operator panel
A simple way to set the IP address inside the MarkNet print server is to use the
printer operator panel. You need to be standing at the printer to use this
method.
“X” designates which option
card slot in the printer is being
used. For example, if you
install the MarkNet print
server in option slot 2, the
printer operator panel
displays: Network Option 2.
1 On the printer operator panel, select Network Menu, Network Option X, Network X
Setup, TCP/IP, and then Set IP Address. (Hint: Press Menu> repeatedly until you
see the menu item, and then press Select.)
2 When the current IP address is displayed (default is zeros), use the buttons
to change the address. (Hint: Pressing Select advances to the next segment in
the address. Pressing Menu> increases the number by one.
Set required fax information
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any
person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a
telephone fax unless the message clearly contains the following information in a
margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of the
transmission:
❏
the date and time it is sent
❏
an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual
sending the message
❏
the telephone number of the sending machine or business, other entity,
or individual
The FCC is the Federal
Communications
Commission.
See “Emission Notices” on page 100 and “Telecommunications Notices” on
page 101 for more FCC information.
Two ways to set required fax information
There are two ways to set the required fax information required by the FCC.
❏
MarkNet resident web server (recommended) -- If your printer is
attached to a TCP/IP network, type the IP address in the URL field of
your browser to access the MarkNet resident web server stored on the

Configure scan to network functions
❏
If you do not want to add scan to network functions, skip to the next
step.
In addition to making copies and sending faxes, OptraImage lets you scan
documents and send them to destinations on your network.
There are three scan to network modes:
For more information, see
“Control panel guide” on page
4 and “Control panel function
modes” on page 6.
•
Scan to Profile (for single use scan jobs)
•
Scan to e-mail (to a permanent destination)
•
Scan to FTP (to an FTP server)
For the control panel to display menus for Scan → Profile, Scan → e-mail, or
Scan → FTP, you must configure each of these scan to network modes using the
MarkNet resident web server.
Scan to network general setup
Configure default scan job settings
You can configure some default scan job settings that preset the OptraImage
control panel formats for all Scan to e-mail and Scan to FTP jobs.
1 Browse to the MarkNet resident web server.
After you create a list of
permanent destinations, it
becomes available in the
OptraImage control panel,
these default settings are
active choices for your typical
scan job.
2 Click Configuration.
3 Under the OptraImage heading, click Scan to Network General Setup.
4 Set your default scan job settings. Base these settings on the most common
types of originals you will be scanning. However, these are just defaults
and can be overridden by changing the control panel before you begin
scanning.
5 Click Submit.
12
Limit the available scan to network functions
You can limit the scan to network functions available on a particular
OptraImage control panel. You can disable one, two, or all three functions.
•
Disabling Scan to Profile prevents anyone from creating a profile, plus the
function is not visible in the OptraImage control panel.
•
Disabling Scan to e-mail or Scan to FTP lets you create or add permanent
destinations but the mode is not visible in the control panel so the scan job
cannot be sent.
•
Disabling the multipage TIFF function places each page of a scan job in a
individual TIFF file rather than placing all pages in a single, multipage
TIFF file.
1 Browse to the MarkNet resident web server.
2 Click Configuration.
3 Under the OptraImage heading, click Scan to Network General Setup.
4 Remove the check mark from any function you want to disable. You can
disable any scan to network mode without affecting the others. You can
also disable the ability to scan to a multi-page TIFF file.
5 Click Submit.
Configure Scan to E-mail
Specify SMTP gateway and other E-mail settings
In addition to identifying your SMTP gateway, you can also enter a generic
subject and message that will be included on all Scan to e-mail jobs.
1 Browse to the MarkNet resident web server.
2 Click Configuration.
3 Under the OptraImage heading, click Scan to E-mail General Setup.
4 Specify the SMTP gateway of your network or internet service provider,
plus your e-mail address for the reply line of the message.
5 Enter a subject (descriptive name) and a generic message suitable for use
on all Scan to e-mail jobs. This information appears on all jobs scanned to
permanent e-mail destinations.
6 To store scanned documents on a Web site and send only a web link in the
e-mail, complete the Web Link section.
7 After entering your choices, click Submit.
Create permanent E-mail destinations
When creating an e-mail destination, decide what kind of e-mail the recipient
will receive. You can send a document scanned to e-mail as an:
•
Attachment -- a copy of the scanned document is sent attached to the
e-mail message to the recipient
•
Web Link -- the scanned document is sent to a storage area on a Web site
and a only a Web Link to that site is sent to the e-mail recipient
Create a separate recipient entry for each e-mail type and give them unique
names easily identified in the e-mail destinations list.
1 Click Configuration.
2 Click Manage Destinations.
3 Click E-mail Destinations Setup.
Before you create a
destination, check the list at
the bottom of the Web page.
Make sure your recipient is
not already listed.
4 Enter a unique name for the e-mail recipient and specify the e-mail
address.
5 Select which type of Scan to e-mail you want to send. Attachment is the
most common choice, but you can avoid sending large scanned images as
e-mail if you use a Web Link.
You can rapidly find your
e-mail recipient by pressing #
and entering the shortcut
number on the OptraImage
control panel.
Here is an example of one recipient with two unique names:
6 Enter a shortcut number (1-89) to identify the recipient (optional).

Configure Scan to FTP
Create FTP server destinations
You can configure Scan to FTP and create a permanent list of FTP destinations.
Afterward, you can take your original documents to the OptraImage and use
the control panel to scan a job to one of these FTP server destinations.
Note:
Although you can create multiple FTP server destinations, a scan job
can only be sent to one destination at a time.
You can rapidly find your
FTP destination by pressing #
and entering the Shortcut
number on the OptraImage
control panel.
1 Browse to the MarkNet resident web server.
2 Click Configuration.
3 Click Manage Destinations.
4 Click FTP Destinations Setup.
5 Assign a name to the FTP server destination. This is the name that will
appear in the OptraImage control panel.
6 Find the address you want to modify in the FTP destination list, and then
click on the name of the recipient. This displays the current address
information in the setup dialog boxes.
7 Make any necessary changes, and then click Add/Modify to update the
address information.
8 After entering your choices, click Submit.
Specify an external destinations file
Instead of creating individual e-mail, FTP, or fax destinations one at a time, you
can create multiple destinations and store them in an external ASCII text file.
The ability to specify an external file lets you store a large list of addresses in a
good location on your network, rather than storing them as permanent
destinations in the OptraImage hardware.
The external list is refreshed every 24 hours or during power up.
Create an external file
A file of permanent destinations (e-mail and FTP) can be created manually in
any text editor using the following entries as guides:
Type=1 entries are e-mail
Attachments. Type=2 are set
up to be Web Links. Short=0
means no shortcut number has
been assigned.
% Permanent Destinations List From 192.168.236.24
DESTEMAILADD 1 "NAME=Smith, Jane;[email protected];TYPE=1;SHORT=1;"
DESTEMAILADD 1 "NAME=Robb;[email protected];TYPE=1;SHORT=50;"
DESTEMAILADD 1 "NAME=Doe, John;[email protected];TYPE=1;SHORT=0;"
DESTEMAILADD 1 "NAME=Doe, John2;[email protected];TYPE=2;SHORT=0;”
DESTFTPADD 1
“NAME=smith;SERVER=smith.com;LOGIN=bob;PASS1=sno;PASS2=sno;FN=scan;SHORT=20;”
DESTFAXADD 1 “NAME=Sheila;NUMBER=5544;SHORT=88;”
This file can be saved with any name and stored anywhere on the network to be
accessed whenever necessary.
Specify the external file
1 Click Configuration.
2 Click Manage Destinations.
3 Click Specify External Destinations File.
4 Specify the server where the file is being stored, plus the login and
password necessary to gain access to the server. Specify the full path and
filename of the file.
5 Click Submit. The file is accessed from the server location. The e-mail and
FTP destinations stored in the external file are added to the current list of
permanent destinations.
6 Check that the process worked by clicking Back on the Browser menu until
you see one of the destinations setup links, such as E-mail Destinations
Setup.
7 Click E-mail Destinations Setup. The e-mail destinations stored in the file
now appear in the e-mail destination list. You may have to scroll through
the list to find them.
Note: The process works the same for FTP and fax entries.

Restrict ions can be configured
later using the information
contained in this step.
❏
Setting these restrictions require OptraImage users to enter an account
number before they can scan a document. If you don’t want to restrict
usage, skip to the next step.
OptraImage Job Accounting can require OptraImage users to enter a Job
Account number in the control panel or choose a valid Job Account name from
a list before they scan documents.
There are two necessary parts of this configuration:
•

table, see the documentation
that shipped with your printer.
Problem
Solution
Copy of a color page came out black
and white.
This happens if the scan unit or printer (or
both) can only produce black and white.
If this is not the problem, look in the upper
left corner of the control panel and make
sure Content is set to mixed or photo (not text),
and try again.
Duplex does not work.
This usually means the scan unit or printer
(or both) is not capable of duplex.
Duplex lights don’t come on.
Can’t select duplex settings.
Ready is not displayed on the control
panel.
The control panel and the printer are not
talking to each other or the printer may be
turned off.
Try turning the printer off and back on.
Copy came out on the wrong kind of
paper.
The wrong type of paper is loaded in the
tray containing the copy media you selected,
or the printer may not be set up for
automatically selecting the paper type.
Put your special media in the tray, check the
paper type setting on the paper menu of the
printer and try again.
Control panel does not respond to
button presses.
The printer is turned off. Turn the printer
back on.
Original Size light goes off when
either “Scaling” button is pressed.
This action is correct. Setting the Original
Size is done to conveniently select a scaling
factor.
If this setting is overridden by manually
setting a scaling factor, the size of the
original is no longer pertinent.
Warning displays on printer operator
panel about collation area.
I pressed “Continue” on the printer
operator panel, my copies were not in
correct sequence.
The printer does not have enough memory.
You may have to turn collation off and
manually sort your copies.
Installing additional memory helps alleviate
this problem.
Pages were not copied in the correct
order when using Paper Saver mode.
Rotate the originals a half-turn and try
again.
I set Copy Media to transparency,
but when I get A4 size copies
(transparency light goes off and the
plain paper light comes on).
The control panel uses the last button
pressed as the highest priority. The panel
“knows” that the only A4 size paper loaded
in the printer’s trays is plain paper.
The control panel does not let you select
Copy Media and Paper Size combinations
which do not exist in the printer.
When flatbed scanning a document,
the rotation of my scanned copy is
not correct.
To increase print speeds, some printer
models feed paper in a landscape
orientation.
Place your original in the flatbed of the scan
unit in the same orientation that your printer
uses (for example, landscape instead of
portrait).
Automatic sheet feeders make this
adjustment for you, but the scan process
may take a little longer.

Network scanning overview
In addition to copy and fax functions, the OptraImage office solution lets you
scan documents back to your PC or to e-mail and FTP destinations on your
network.
The easiest method for sending a one-time scan job is to create a scan profile. PC
scan profiles let you send scanned documents in a file back to your PC. E-mail
scan profiles let you send the scanned documents attached to an e-mail, or store
them on a Web site and send only a Web link to the e-mail recipient.

MarkNet print server setup
Print a network setup page
During setup, you connected your printer to a network and assigned an IP
address. Verify that the correct TCP/IP and DHCP information is displayed on
the network setup page.
Use the printer operator panel to print the network setup page. (Hint: Network
Menu/Network Option x/Network x Setup/Print/Print Setup Page) This page shows
the physical address of the MarkNet print server (UAA) and other important
data. Save this page because you will use it later.
For more information about
using the printer operator
panel, refer to your printer
documentation.
❏
If the IP address, netmask, and gateway are correct on the MarkNet
print server network setup page, skip to “Set up to print” on page 65.
❏
If the TCP/IP information on the setup page is not correct, go to the next
step and find the complete set of instructions for TCP/IP.

find your network
information.
About the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD
You may have more than one version of this CD, received at different times
with different Lexmark products. Always use the latest version CD.
TCP/IP
Set the IP address, netmask and gateway
For instructions on other ways
to set the IP address, look on
the Drivers, MarkVision and
Utilities CD. Click View
Documentation and look for
the MarkNet link.
You must assign an IP address, netmask and gateway to the MarkNet print
server for other network devices to find the printer on the network.
❏
If you have DHCP, the proper address values are automatically
assigned. Look for the information on your MarkNet print server
network setup page.
❏
If you don’t have DHCP, there are other methods you can use to
manually assign address values, such as the printer operator panel,
static ARP and telnet, RARP and telnet, BOOTP, MarkVision or other
Lexmark utility. Instructions for three of these methods follow.
Printer operator panel
A simple way to set the IP address, netmask and gateway inside the print server
is to use the printer operator panel. You need to be standing at the printer to use
this method.
“X” designates which option
slot in the printer is being
used. For example, if you
install the MarkNet print
server in option slot 2, the
operator panel selection would
be: Network Option 2.
1 On the printer operator panel, choose Network Menu, Network Option X,
Network X Setup, TCP/IP, Set IP Address. (Hint: Press Menu> until you see
the right menu item, and then press Select.)
2 When the current IP address is displayed, use the buttons to change the
address. (Hint: Press Select to advance to the next segment in the address. Press
Menu> to increase the number by one.
The UAA is a 12 digit
number. The left column is the
number given in MSB form
and the right is canonical.
Static ARP and telnet
Use this method from any Windows, OS/2, or UNIX workstation. You need to
know the physical address of the MarkNet print server to use this method.
The workstation and the
printer must be on the same
subnet.
1 Find the physical address (UAA) of the MarkNet print server (for example,
00200022012F) on the network setup page you printed earlier. If you have
an Ethernet network, use the number in the right column (canonical). If
you have a Token-Ring network, use the number in the left column (MSB).
2 Set the IP address in your workstation ARP table. At a command prompt,
type a command similar to the following, inserting the IP address you
want to assign and the UAA:
arp -s 192.168.236.24 00-20-00-22-01-2F
3 Set the IP address, netmask and gateway in the print server. To do this,
telnet to port 9000 on the MarkNet print server by typing a command
similar to the following:
telnet 192.168.236.24 9000
4 Verify the print server is up and running on the network.
ping 192.168.236.24
Print server TCP/IP setup utility
It doesn’t matter which form of
the UAA you use (MSB or
canonical).
Information on installing,
using and troubleshooting the
utility is on the CD.
Use this simple utility to initialize the IP address if your workstation is running
Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT. You need the 12-digit physical
address of the print server to use this method.
To install the utility, launch the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD, do a
custom install to add network support, and then select Print Server TCP/IP
Setup Utility.
Once the IP address has been set (using any method),
you can use your browser to remotely view and
manage the network printer. Functions include
viewing printer status in real time, resetting the

Set up to print
There are many ways to send a print job, including FTP, TFTP, LPR/LPD,
point-to-point (LexIP) and various queue-based methods. Instructions for two
of the methods follow.
Print to a queue on a Windows NT server
If you are using Windows NT
Server 4.0 or later and
running TCP/IP, you can use
Network Plug and Print to
automate your printer setup
process.
This section explains the setup for queue-based printing where network users
print to a queue defined on a Windows NT server. The MarkNet print server
services this queue. To use this method, you must have at least one server
running Windows NT Server software and TCP/IP.
The following instructions apply to Windows NT Server versions 4.0 and later.
1 Install the TCP/IP software component on the server that contains the
print queue. This software is necessary to establish the link between the
MarkNet print server and the queue. Look on the Drivers, MarkVision and
Utilities CD for the software. (Hint: Do a custom install to add network
support, and select TCP/IP.)
2 Set up a print queue on the server. Do this by creating a printer object.
a Click Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.
b When prompted, select My Computer (not Network printer server).
c Click Add Port.
d Select Lexmark Network Port, and then click New Port. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
e Share the queue.
3 Set up your Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT clients in the usual
way. (Hint: Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.)
Point-to-point printing (LexIP)
You can print from any Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT workstation
directly to a Lexmark printer located anywhere on the IP network. No server is
required.
1 Install the TCP/IP software component on the workstation. Look on the
Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD for the software. (Hint: Do a custom
install to add network support, and select TCP/IP.)
2 Create a printer object on the workstation:
a Click Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer.
b Windows 95/98: When prompted, select Local Printer (not Network).
This gives you access to the Lexmark Network Printer Monitor later.
Windows NT: When prompted, select My Computer (not Network
Printer Server). This gives you access to the Lexmark Network Printer
Monitor later.
You can obtain the latest
Lexmark printer drivers from
our Web site at:
www.lexmark.com.
c Select the correct printer driver.
d Select any port (LPT, COM, or FILE) for the initial setup. Later, you will
change the port to a logical port.
e Click Next, and then continue following the instructions on the screen
until the printer object has been created.
3 Associate the printer object with the physical printer.
a Select the newly created printer object in the printers folder.
b Windows 95/98: Click File, Properties, Details, Add Port.
Windows NT: Click File, Properties, Ports, Add Port.
c Click Other, Lexmark Network Printer Monitor, and then click OK. A
list of available print servers is shown. If your print server does not
appear in the list, click Add Adapter and then follow the instructions
on the screen until it appears.
d Find the IP address of your print server in the list, and then select it.
You can print from DOS
using LexIP if you assign a
logical port name of LPT1,
LPT2, LPT3 or LPT4.
c:\>copy FileName LPT3
e Specify a logical port name to associate with the printer, and then click
OK.
f
Verify that the logical port name you assigned to the printer now shows
in the box labeled Print to the following port.
g Click OK.
NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services)
On the Drivers, MarkVision
and Utilities CD, look for a
subdirectory named NDPS.
This subdirectory contains the
NDPS gateway files and all
supporting documentation
(README file and an
instructional white paper).
If you have MarkNet print servers in an NDPS environment, we recommend
that you install the Lexmark NDPS IP Gateway. Your printers are integrated
with NDPS so you can easily monitor, control and print to them. You can get
the gateway plus all support files and installation procedures from the Lexmark
Web site (www.lexmark.com) or from some versions of the Drivers,
MarkVision and Utilities CD.
Non-NDPS (queue-based)
The easiest way to configure the print server for NetWare jobs in a non-NDPS
environment is to use MarkVision. MarkVision can automatically create all the
necessary NetWare objects (print queue objects, print server objects, and printer
objects).
Do the following from a Windows NT workstation running Novell NetWare
Client32 software, or from a Windows 95 or Windows 98 workstation running
either Novell Client32 or Microsoft Client for NetWare networks.
1 Install the NetWare software component on the workstation. Look on the
Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD for the software. (Hint: Do a custom
install to add network support, and select NetWare.)
2 Launch MarkVision. In the MarkVision main window, find the new
network printer. Look for the line item containing your print server’s
physical address (the MSB form of the print server UAA).
The default login name
contains the characters
!LEX plus the UAA
of the MarkNet print
server (for example,
!LEX00200022012F).
3 Double-click the network printer. Configure the MarkNet print server by
doing the following:
a Set a unique NetWare login name. This is the name the print server uses
to log in to the NetWare server.
b Enable the MarkNet print server port.
c Select PSERVER mode.
For information about
choosing PSERVER or
RPRINTER mode, look on the
CD. Click View
Documentation and look for
the MarkNet link.
•
To manage NDS queues, specify the NDS tree and context where
the MarkNet print server is defined. Afterwards, create or select
queues to be serviced.
•
To manage bindery queues, specify the file servers. Afterwards,
create or select queues to be serviced.
4 If prompted to reset the print server, select Yes to immediately begin
servicing the queues.
MarkVision for Macintosh
resides on the Drivers,
MarkVision and Utilities CD.
The MarkNet print server works automatically with AppleTalk networks. You
simply connect the power and the network cables. However, if you would like
to use a zone and printer name different from the defaults you can use
MarkVision for Macintosh to change these settings.
Each Macintosh user on the AppleTalk network should do the following:
1 In the Chooser, select the LaserWriter 8 driver.
2 If you have a routed network, there is a list of zones you can select from.
The new printer is in the default zone for the network. Select this zone. If
you don’t know which zone to select, look on the network setup page
under AppleTalk for Zone.
3 Select the new printer. If you don’t know which printer to select, look on
the network setup page under AppleTalk. The default name of the printer
is listed beside Name.
4 Click Create.
A PPD describes the printer or
printer family. For example,
the PPD lists which options
are valid for the printer.
5 If you are prompted to select a PPD (PostScript Printer Description), you
need to install the proper PPD from the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities
CD. To do this, launch the CD, click Lexmark Installer, select the
appropriate PPD for your printer, and then click Install. Go back to the
Chooser and try to create the new printer again.
6 Look for an icon to appear in the Chooser next to the printer name. This
means you have successfully set up the new printer. A new desktop
printer icon is placed on your desktop, too.
7 In the Chooser, select the printer you want to use now and close the
Chooser window.
OS/2 Warp Server
MarkNet print servers work on OS/2 Warp Server networks. Users can print to
the network printer from any client that can successfully attach to the network.
For instructions on configuring the print server for OS/2 networks, look on the
Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD. Click View Documentation and look for
the MarkNet link.

For additional troubleshooting information, look on the Drivers, MarkVision
and Utilities CD. Click View Documentation and look for the MarkNet link.
TCP/IP
1 Make sure the TCP/IP protocol is turned on (activated) in the print server.
To find out, print a network setup page and look under TCP/IP.
2 Issue a ping command to the print server.
ping 192.168.236.24
The file you use with FTP can
be in PCL or PostScript
emulations, PDF, HTML or
any other language the printer
understands. If the file prints,
this confirms the TCP/IP
protocol is working properly in
the MarkNet print server.
3 Establish an FTP session with the print server.
ftp 192.168.236.24
4 Using the FTP put command, print a file to the network printer.
put mytest.ps
5 Check the port settings on the printer object.
6 Check all settings in the print server, using the browser-based utility or
MarkVision.
To invoke the browser-based
utility, type the IP address of
the MarkNet print server in
the URL field of the browser
and press Enter.
7 For non-UNIX networks: Uninstall Lexmark software.
8 For non-UNIX networks: Reinstall Lexmark software. During the
reinstallation, select only those network protocols you actually use (for
example, TCP/IP).
9 Try printing again.
10 If you are still having trouble, call the Lexmark Customer Support Center.
See “Customer Support” on page 107.
NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services)
1 Make sure the TCP/IP protocol is turned on (activated) in the print server.
To find out, print a network setup page and look under TCP/IP.
2 Make sure your NetWare file server has TCP/IP support configured and
loaded.
3 Make sure you are running NDPS version 2.0 or later.
4 Make sure you’ve created and loaded an NDPS Manager.
5 Read the online documentation about Lexmark’s NDPS support. Look for
a README file or a technical white paper either on the Drivers,
MarkVision and Utilities CD or in the package you downloaded from
Lexmark’s Web site.
6 If you are still having trouble, contact Lexmark for help. See “Customer
Support” on page 107.
Non-NDPS (queue-based)
1 Make sure the NetWare protocol is turned on (activated) in the print server.
To find out, print a network setup page and look under NetWare.
2 Find out if the print server is servicing your NetWare queue.
3 If your queue doesn’t appear in the list of queues being serviced, reset the
printer, wait a few minutes, and then look for the queue again.
4 If your queue still does not appear in the list of queues being serviced, you
have a print server setup problem. Reconfigure the MarkNet print server.
5 Try printing from some other application. If the job prints from the second
application, you’ve narrowed the problem to the first application. Make
sure you are using the current version of the driver for the problem
application.
6 Place a job in the queue using a Novell utility such as PCONSOLE. If the
job doesn’t print, contact Lexmark for help. See “Customer Support” on
page 107.
Windows NT Server 4.0
1 Make sure you are using TCP/IP for communications between the
Windows server and the MarkNet print server.
2 Make sure TCP/IP is turned on (activated) in the print server. To find out,
print a network setup page and look under TCP/IP.
3 Verify that TCP/IP is installed properly on the Windows server. (Hint:
Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network, Protocols).
4 Issue a ping command to the print server.
ping 192.168.236.24
5 Establish an FTP session with the print server.
The file you use with FTP can
be in PCL or PostScript
emulations, PDF, HTML or
any other language the printer
understands. If the file prints,
this confirms the TCP/IP
protocol is working properly in
the MarkNet print server.
ftp 192.168.236.24
6 Using the FTP put command, print a file.
put mytest.ps
7 See if the network printer shows up in MarkVision.
•
If it doesn’t, the print server may have downlevel firmware.
•
If it does but you still cannot print, try removing and then
re-adding the Lexmark Network Port on the printer object.
8 Reset both the print server and the printer.
9 If possible, shut down Windows NT Server and restart the server. There
could be a spooler problem that requires a restart.
10 Uninstall, and then reinstall MarkVision. During the reinstallation, select
only the network protocols you actually use (for example, TCP/IP). This
also helps MarkVision run faster.
11 Try printing again.
12 If you are still having trouble, contact Lexmark for help. See “Customer
Support” on page 107.
1 Make sure the AppleTalk protocol is turned on (activated) in the print
server. To find out, print a network setup page and look under AppleTalk.
2 Make sure the status of the MarkNet print server is “connected”. To find
out, look on the network setup page for Status.
3 Do you see the printer in the Chooser? If not, restart the Macintosh
workstation and look again.
If you’re on a non-routed
network, you can only see the
printer if your workstation
connection (LocalTalk,
Ethernet or Token-Ring)
matches the connection on the
printer. For example, if the
Macintosh workstation is on
LocalTalk, you cannot see a
printer on Ethernet unless
there is a router on the
network.
4 If you still don’t see the printer in the Chooser, make sure AppleTalk is
active on the workstation (look in the AppleTalk control panel).
5 If the job prints but the print quality is poor, refer to the printing tips
provided on the CD. These tips can save you a lot of time. To download the
document to your workstation, launch the CD, click Lexmark Installer,
select Documentation, and then click Install. Look in the Lexmark Extras
folder for the document titled Optimize Lexmark Printer Output.
6 If you are still having trouble, contact Lexmark for help. See “Customer
Support” on page 107.

Track OptraImage usage
To count outgoing faxes, you
must be using a
MarkNet N2501e print server
containing a fax modem port.
MarkTrack™ is software that combines the unique capabilities of Lexmark
network printers and MarkVision™ software with an Oracle™ database.
Job Accounting provides MarkTrack users with the ability to accumulate
statistics on copy jobs, outgoing faxes, and scan to network jobs by requiring
OptraImage users to enter a Job Account number on the control panel or choose
a valid Job Account name from a list before being allowed to scan documents.
Create accounts and set restrictions
To use Job Accounting to track jobs:
•
Create Job Accounts for each authorized OptraImage user.
•
Notify each user to enter the assigned Job Account number on the control
panel to be allowed to scan.
For information about setting up this function, see Chapter 1: Setup, “Create or
add a Job Account” on page 28 and “Require all scan jobs to be validated” on
page 29.
Note:
Validation mode, when used with MarkTrack, collects statistical data
about copy jobs, scan jobs, and outgoing faxes. However, even if you
don’t use MarkTrack, Validation mode can be used to restrict
OptraImage usage to authorized individuals. Courtesy modes can also
be used to restrict usage, but none are as secure as Validation mode.
Select a Courtesy tracking mode
1 Browse to the MarkNet resident web server.
2 Click Configuration.
3 Click OptraImage Job Accounting.
4 Select one of the Courtesy modes.
