Raw TCP/IP Printing

Raw TCP/IP is a printing method used to open a TCP socket-level connection over Port 9100, to stream a print-ready file to the printer's input buffer. It then closes the connection either after sensing an End Of Job character in the PDL or after expiration of a preset time-out value. Port 9100 does not require an LPR request from the computer or the use of an LPD running on the printer. Raw TCP/IP printing is selected in Windows as the Standard TCP/IP port.

Basic Settings

Notes:

•TCP/IP must be enabled before Raw TCP/IP Printing is enabled.

•Raw TCP/IP printing is selected in Windows 2000 as the Standard TCP/IP port.

•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 Connectivity > Protocols > Raw TCP/IP Printing.

2.Select Enabled to enable the protocol.

3.Ensure that the TCP Port Number is set to 9100 for Port 1.

Note: To emulate HP JetDirect EX Plus 3, set Port 2 to 9101 and Port 3 to 9102.

4.Select Enabled for bidirectional communication.

5.Ensure that Maximum Connections per port (1-32)for each port is set to the default value of 8.

6.Set the End of Job Timeout to the desired number of seconds between 0 and 1800 before processing a job with an End of Job character. The default time is 300 seconds.

7.Select Enabled for PDL Switching to allow the printer to automatically switch between multiple supported PDLs within a single job.

Note: PDL Switching should normally be disabled.

8.Click Apply. To set all fields to printer default values, click Default All.

9.Click OK.

Advanced Settings

Additional Raw TCP/IP Printing options can be specified in the Advanced page. These include:

1.Connections

•Total Job Limit per Connection: Type a value between 0 and 32768 to limit the number of jobs that can be active for each port.

•Maximum concurrent connections.

•Maximum concurrent jobs: Type a value between 0 and 500 to specify the maximum number of concurrent jobs. A setting of 0 allows unlimited concurrent jobs.

2.Job Boundary Determination

•Enable Control D Marks End of PostScript Job if you want the Control D character to be used to indicate the end of a PostScript print job.

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.
