Network & Communication

Freedom
Place assets where they are needed - Printer location is functionally and economically driven, not constrained by existing LAN connections.

Embedded Web Page
The embedded web page allows administrators to flash update printer firmware or access printer settings using a web browser to monitor printer status and change default settings easily.

Easy Setup
Wired and Wireless Configuration - Configure using a USB cable or without any cables.

Network Communications Security
SNMPv3 supports encrypted and authenticated management traffic protecting remote configuration and device status messages.IPSec can be used with both TCP/IP IPv4 and IPv6 networks and provides encryption and authentication of communications at the network layer.

Network Wi-Fi printing plus direct print with NFC

The MarkNet N8360 Wireless Print Server plus NFC adds 802.11b/g/n connectivity to Lexmark devices via network infrastructure or a direct-connect option for mobile users.

Features

Connect network users

Wireless print server function adds 802.11b/g/n connectivity to Lexmark devices, and can be configured as part of your network infrastructure.

Support direct printing

Support for Lexmark Mobile Direct allows users of smartphones, tablets and notebook computers to print wirelessly without spending time or effort to configure network access. Lexmark Mobile Direct is a key part of the Lexmark smart MFP ecosystem.

Tap-to-print NFC Android connection

It's easy to create a direct, network-free link between your Android mobile device and a Lexmark printer or MFP. Simply add the Lexmark Mobile Print App to your Android mobile device, tap the Lexmark NFC tag and Lexmark Mobile Direct automatically establishes a print communication path with the device.

Enhanced security

Resist wireless tampering or eavesdropping with WEP Encryption (64- and 128-bit key), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2™) Personal level security and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2™) Enterprise level security. Included IPsec support can be used with both IPv4 and IPv6 TCP/IP networks for encryption and authentication of communications at the network layer, while built-in SNMPv3 supports encrypted and authenticated management traffic, protecting remote configuration and device status messages.

Installation and control

Installation is easy, whether installed internally, via card-mounted pod or USB connection. The embedded web page allows administrators to flash-update device firmware or access its settings using a web browser for easy monitoring of device status and changes to default settings.

Considerations

For wireless direct printing, a mobile device may require an app or print software. Wireless performance is dependent on physical environment and distance from the printer. Note that while your mobile device is directly connected to the printer, access to content that requires internet support (such as web pages or documents in the cloud) may not be supported while in Lexmark Mobile Direct mode. Mobile device must support NFC-enabled printing for tap-to-print capability. The Lexmark mobile print app is available for download from the Google Play Store.

Printing on ultra secure fiber networks.

The MarkNet N8230 is an internal print server that allows direct connection of a Lexmark printer or MFP to a fiber optic network. It is compatible with two Ethernet over multi-mode fiber standards: 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX.

Features

The fiber optic edge

Support the ultimate in communication bandwidth and security: fiber optic networking. The Lexmark MarkNet™ N8230 Fiber Ethernet Print Server supports network communications at the highest level of speed and security by interfacing one of two LC-standard fiber ports with your supported Lexmark device's internal Ethernet connection at full-duplex megabit (100Base-FX) or gigabit (1000Base-SX) fiber speeds.

Security and data accuracy

Fiber optics have greater electromagnetic immunity, eliminating the chance of radio frequency interference in electrically "noisy" environments such as a factory or warehouse. And since fiber optic systems do not radiate electromagnetic signals like copper transmission lines, even sophisticated electronic methods of intercepting information won't work.

Easy, integrated card installation

Install the card in your supported Lexmark device without external boxes or adapters. You get fiber connectivity in a single, easily installable internal card, shipped in configurations that support many Lexmark devices (see specifications), including appropriate adapters and documentation.

Network communications security

The print server supports SNMPv3, IPSec and 802.1x authentication data encryption for communication security in all supported printers and MFPs. Advanced functions such as VLAN filtering packet processing provide added speed.

Network Protocol Support

Simultaneous active protocol support allows you to print from different systems without reconfiguring. Like standard Lexmark Ethernet connections, that includes TCP/IP IPv4, TCP/IP IPv6, Novell (IPX/SPX including NetWare Directory Services) and LexLink (DLC/LLC). It even supports on-board verification of IP headers and TCP/UDP checksums for received data.

Embedded Web Page

The embedded web page allows administrators to flash update printer firmware or access printer settings using a web browser to easily monitor printer status and change default settings.

The MarkNet N8370 adds 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac wireless connectivity to Lexmark devices via network infrastructure or Wi-Fi Direct for mobile users. The Lexmark N8370/N8372 also supports dual band connectivity for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks.

Installation and control

Easy installation: Simply slide the wireless card into the internal solutions port. Other models require an included card-mounting pod, or plugging a wireless module into the Lexmark device's USB connection.

Management security: Built-in SNMPv3 supports encrypted and authenticated management traffic, protecting remote configuration and device status messages.

Support direct printing: Support for Wi-Fi Direct allows users of smartphones and tablets (Android, iOS) to print wirelessly without spending time or effort configuring network access.

One print server-two functions

Connect network users: The wireless print server function adds 802.11a/b/g/n/ac connectivity to Lexmark devices, and can be configured as part of your network infrastructure.

Continuous, secure control: The embedded Web page allows administrators to flash-update device firmware or access its settings using a web browser for easy monitoring of device status and changes to default settings.

Enhanced security

Wireless encryption support: Resist wireless tampering or eavesdropping with WEP Encryption (64- and 128- bit key), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2™) Personal level security, and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2™) Enterprise level security. You control who can access the printer via standard Wi-Fi.

Network layer protection: Included IPsec support can be used with both IPv4 and IPv6 TCP/IP networks for encryption and authentication of communications at the network layer.
