MarkNet N8020 GigaBit Ethernet Print Server
An internal print server to connect a printer to most major networks using Ethernet with RJ-45 connector.Network Protocol Support
MarkNet print servers and the standard Ethernet connection support these protocols: TCP/IP IPV4, TCP/IP IPv6, Novell (IPX/SPX including NetWare Directory Services), AppleTalk™ and LexLink (DLC/LLC). All protocols can be active simultaneously. Simultaneous protocol support allows you to print from different systems without reconfiguring the print server.
Network Communications Security
SSL protocol secures PDF direct printing and connections to the device's embedded web server to protect configuration and device status messages. 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.
Embedded Web Page
Supports an embedded Web page with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x (or greater), Netscape Navigator 6.x (or later), Apple Safari 1.0 (or later), Mozilla FireFox 1.0 (or later). 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.
DDNS and mDNS Support
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) is a networking protocol used to translate a domain name (host name) to an IP address with dynamic database queries. Multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) provides DNS for a single zone and allows for name resolution in a local zone when a DNS server is not available.
Security
Secure your printing device on the network. Limit access to certain devices through a built-in Restricted Server List. Make users authenticate by enabling password protection. Move the device out of the ‘public’ domain by changing the SNMP community name. Disable chatty protocols and vulnerable services by using the Embedded Web Server.
FTP Capable
Supports a built-in FTP server capable of printing TXT and PDF documents without opening a compatible application. Simply open an FTP session and PUT your files directly to the printer. FTP Services are available from any computing device on the network sporting an FTP client.

Q. Can the MarkNet N8020 Series Print Servers be used in any older printers?
A. No, The MarkNet N8020 Series Print Servers can only be used in the Lexmark T640, T642 and T644 printers, the Lexmark C920 printers and the Lexmark W840 printers.
Q. Can you install two MarkNet N8020 Print Servers in a printer and use them both for connection to 2 hosts at the same time?
A. No, this function is not supported. You also cannot use a MarkNet N8020 Print Server in a network printer such as the Lexmark T640n.
