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.
