Network Configuration

respond to this request with a router advertisement packet containing network-layer configuration parameters.

Notes:

IPv6 is optional and may be used in addition to or in place of IPv4. If both protocols are disabled, you cannot access CentreWare IS.

If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see Accessing CentreWare IS on page 17.

1.In CentreWare IS, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > IP (Internet Protocol).

2.Under Protocol, select Enabled. By default, IPv6 is disabled.

CAUTION: If both IPv4 and IPv6 are disabled, you cannot access CentreWare IS. You must re- enable TCP/IP at the printer control panel before you can access CentreWare IS. Disabling TCP/IP or changing the IP address also disables any dependant protocols.

Notes:

The host name is the same for IPv4 and IPv6. If you change the host name for IPv6, the host name changes for IPv4 as well.

Enabling or Disabling IPv6 will restart the Network Controller when you click Apply.

3.Type the required Domain Name.

4.Under Stateless Addresses, select Use Router Supplied Prefixes. Notes:

Router-supplied prefixes are 64-bit sub-network address that define how the printer can perform auto-configuration. If routers are present, they will periodically send Router Advertisement packets containing address prefixes.

Routers will not forward packets with link-local addresses.

Enabling Stateless Addresses allows the printer to automatically populate the Link-Local Address. Link-Local addresses are network addresses that are used to communicate on point-to-point links within one segment of a local network. They allow addressing hosts without requiring a public address prefix.

Default DHCP Settings

By default, the printer performs auto-address DHCP configuration every time it starts up. This is used for neighbor discovery and address resolution on the local IPv6 subnet.

1.Select one of the following options:

Use DHCP as directed by a router: This default option is fully automatic and allows the printer to obtain and display the DHCPv6 Address on the screen.

Always Enable DHCP for address assignment and other configuration data: This options is fully automatic and allows the printer to obtain and display the DHCPv6 Address on the screen along with additional configuration data.

Never use DHCP: If you select this option, you must configure the Manual Address Options and DNS separately.

Always Enable DHCP for other configuration data only: This option only obtains other configuration data.

2.If you want the printer to release its IP address when the it restarts, select Release DHCPv6 Address at Power Down.

6400 specifications

The Xerox 6400, a notable entry in the multifunction printer category, emerged during the 1990s, when technology was rapidly evolving. Known for its robust functionality and exceptional output quality, the Xerox 6400 became a reliable choice for businesses that needed efficient document production.

One of the standout features of the Xerox 6400 is its versatile printing capabilities. It offered both color and black-and-white printing, allowing organizations to create a variety of documents, from standard reports to impressive marketing materials. 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.
