The first step to get started with your all-new Lexmark printer is the basic hardware setup. It starts with unwrapping all the packing materials from the printer and cartridges. Carry on with the following setup steps: 

* Adjust the guides and place the paper neatly into the front tray. 
* Plug the power cable into the wall outlet. 
* Press the power button to turn on the printer. 
* Now, you are ready to connect the Lexmark printer to your PC. 

Go to your Lexmark printer's digital control panel, and select the preferred language from the home screen. After that: 

* Tap on "Next." 
* Touch the "Set up Now" option to set up an admin user account for your printer. 
* Assign an admin username and password for the account. 
* Once the credentials are confirmed, tap on "Next."
* If you don't want to create an admin user account, tap on the "Set up Later" option. 
* Next, select your country or region from the list, and tap on Next. 
* Choose from "Device Usage and Performance Information" or "None," then tap on Next.
* Tap on "Set up Now" to connect the printer to WiFi. 
* Select your WiFi network from the list. 
* Enter the WiFi password, then tap OK. 
* Wait for it to connect, then tap OK. You can now start printing from your Lexmark printer. 

If you are using a Windows 10/11 computer and want to connect it to your Lexmark printer, apply the WiFi Direct method: 

* On your printer's control panel, tap Settings > Network/Ports, and enable WiFi Direct. 
* On your PC, search for and open Printers & scanners. Click Add a printer or scanner.
* Click Show WiFi Direct printers, and then select the WiFi Direct name.
* From the prinprinter'splay screen, note the eight-digit PIN and enter it on the computer.
