Network Configuration

WSD

Web Services for Devices (WSD) is technology from Microsoft that provides a standard method for discovering and using network connected devices. It is supported in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. WSD is one of several supported communication protocols.

Enabling WSD

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 > Services > WSD (Web Services for Devices).

2.Under WSD Services, select Enabled.

3.Under WSD Services Selection, select the WSD services you want to enable.

a.WS-Discovery: WS-Discovery supports the discovery of services in an ad hoc network with a minimum of networking services, such as DNS, UDDI, or other directory services. It does this by announcing or advertising the existence of the printer and its services on the network when it becomes available, and announcing its departure when unavailable.

•The default state is Enabled.

•The default port number is 3.

Notes:

•When disabled, WSD does not respond to WS-Discovery requests.

•Disabling WSD-Discovery does not disable or prevent access to CentreWare IS.

b.WS-Discovery Multicast: If enabled, this setting allows the printer to use Multicast to respond to and announce the service URLs provided by the printer to the client computers on the network. The default state is selected.

•The assigned port number is identical to that of WS-Discovery.

•IPv4 multicast address: 239.255.255.250

•IPv6 multicast address: FF02::C (link-local scope)

Notes:

•WS-Discovery must be enabled for WS-Discovery Multicast to be available for selection.

•WS-Discovery Multicast should be disabled if your network uses a discovery proxy to handle multicast group communication to reduce overall WS-Discovery traffic.

c.WS-Print: If enabled, this setting allows the printer’s print capabilities to be announced through WS-Discovery.

•The default state is selected.

•The default port number is 53303.

Note: If WS-Print is disabled, print capabilities are not discoverable and printing is not possible through any WSD port.

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.
