Network Configuration

SLP

Devices use Service Location Protocol (SLP) to announce and look up services on a local network. If you enable SLP on the printer, it becomes a Service Agent (SA) and announces its services on the network to User Agents (UA), who search for services, using the protocol.

Note: 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 > SLP.

2.If available, type an IP address for the Directory Agent (DA).

Note: Directory Agents (DA) are devices that cache services. They are used in larger networks to reduce the amount of traffic. DAs are optional, however if a DA is present, then UAs and SAs are required to use it instead of communicating directly with the device.

3.Type the names for Scope 1, 2, and 3. Scopes are used to group services. Devices cannot see services that are in different scopes. The default value for Scope 1 is DEFAULT.

4.Select Multicast or Broadcast from the Message Type drop-down menu.

5.Type a value for Multicast Radius between 1 and 255. The default is 255.

6.Type a value for the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) between 484 and 32768. The default setting is 1400 bytes. MTU determines maximum packet size allowed to be transmitted for SLP.

Note: The maximum MTU for IP over Ethernet is 1500 bytes.

7.Click Apply.

8.Click OK.

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.
