Network Configuration

3.Type a unique Host Name for your printer.

4.Select the desired method for obtaining a dynamic IP address from the IP Address Resolution drop-down menu, or select Static to define a static IP address.

5.If you select Static, type the Machine IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address in the appropriate fields.

Notes:

If you select BOOTP or DHCP, you cannot change the IP address, Subnet Mask, or default gateway.

If RARP address resolution mode is selected, you cannot change the IP address. Select Static to disable dynamic addressing.

6.Type a valid Domain Name.

DNS Configuration for IPv4

1.Type an IP address for the Preferred DNS Server, Alternate DNS Server 1, and Alternate DNS Server 2.

Note: If DHCP or BOOTP is the IP Address Resolution setting, you cannot change the Domain Name, Primary DNS Server, Alternate DNS Server 1, and Alternate DNS Server 2 settings.

2.Under Dynamic DNS Registration (DDNS), select Enabled.

Note: If your DNS Server does not support dynamic updates, you do not need to enable DDNS.

3.Under Release Registration, select Enabled if you want the printer to release its IP address when it restarts.

Zero-Configuration Networking

1.If the printer cannot connect to a DHCP server to obtain an IP address, select Self Assigned Address to allow the printer to assign itself a Link-Local address. Link-Local addresses are between 169.254.0.0 and 169.254.255.255.

2.Select Enable under Multicast DNS to enable the printer to use DNS queries over IP Multicast

Note: Multicast DNS allows the Apple Bonjour protocol to map host names to IP addresses on a network without using a conventional DNS server. This is used to advertise printer services over a network.

3.Click Apply.

Configuring IP Settings for IPv6

IPv6 hosts can automatically configure themselves when connected to a routed IPv6 network using the Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6). ICMPv6 performs error reporting for IP along with other diagnostic functions. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local multicast router solicitation request for its configuration parameters. If suitably configured, routers

With a maximum print resolution of 600 x 600 dpi, it delivered crisp text and vibrant images, ensuring that printed materials were of professional quality.

The Xerox 6400 utilized laser printing technology, which provided advantages such as faster print speeds compared to inkjet counterparts. The printer achieved print speeds of up to 8 pages per minute for color and 16 pages per minute for black-and-white, catering to the needs of busy office environments. Additionally, with its high-capacity toner cartridges, users experienced less frequent toner replacements, enhancing productivity.

Another significant characteristic of the 6400 was its user-friendly interface. The printer featured a simple control panel, making it easy for users to navigate settings and perform tasks. It also supported various connectivity options, including parallel and optional Ethernet interfaces, enabling seamless integration into existing network setups.

The Xerox 6400 also prioritized paper handling, accommodating various media types and sizes. Its standard paper tray held up to 250 sheets, while an optional second tray could expand capacity even further. This flexibility made it suitable for various printing tasks, from general office documents to specialty media.

In terms of durability and reliability, the Xerox 6400 was built to withstand the demands of a high-volume printing environment. Its robust construction and high monthly duty cycle meant that it could handle substantial workloads without compromising performance.

In conclusion, the Xerox 6400 stood out in the market due to its combination of high-quality printing, user-friendly features, and a robust design. It effectively addressed the diverse needs of businesses, making it a popular choice for those requiring a dependable color printer capable of delivering professional results. While technology has advanced since its release, the Xerox 6400 remains a testament to the evolution of office printing solutions.
