Network Configuration

LPR/LPD

The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) and Line Printer Remote (LPR) protocols are used to provide printer spooling and network print server functionality for UNIX-like systems such as HP-UX, Linux, and Macintosh.

Note: For information on setting up print queues on your client system, refer to your client system’s documentation.

Enabling LPR/LPD

Notes:

•Verify that TCP/IP and HTTP have been configured.

•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 > LPR/LPD.

2.Select Enable to enable the protocol.

Note: Disabling LPR/LPD will affect clients printing to the printer over TCP/IP using the LPR printing port.

3.Type an LPR/LPD Port Number or use the default port number of 515.

4.Under Advanced Settings, select Enabled to allow PDL Switching. PDL switching allows the printer to process single print jobs that contain two or more printer languages, such as a job with a PCL header prepended to a PostScript print job.

Note: This setting should normally be disabled.

5.Select Enabled to enable PDL banner page attributes override LPR control file attributes for job name and owner. This feature allows you to replace the standard information displayed on a banner page with the user name and job name from the print job.

6.Select the desired option from the Place temporary hold on which jobs drop-down menu. Options include:

•None (Use printer's default banner sheet job name if data file 1st): The printer will not wait to receive the job control information. This selection may cause banner sheet information to print incorrectly.

•Only those with data file received 1st: The printer holds the job if the job's data file is received first. This ensures the printer waits to receive the job's control file information so that the banner sheet contains accurate information.

•All (consistent with older implementations): This option puts all jobs on hold. All data is received before a job begins to print. This setting can cause jobs to print slowly but will result in accurate banner sheet information.

7.Click Apply.

8.Click OK.

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.
