SLP
Printers use Service Location Protocol (SLP) to announce and look up services on a local network
without prior configuration. When SLP is enabled, the printer becomes a Service Agent (SA) and
announces its services to User Agents (UA) on the network using SLP.
Directory Agents (DA) are components that cache services. They are used in larger networks to reduce
the amount of traffic. DAs are optional. If a DA is present, then User Agents (UAs) and System Agents
(SAs) are required to use it instead of communicating directly with the printer.
Note: When configuring settings in Properties, you will be prompted to enter the Administrator
account user name and password. For information about logging in as an administrator, refer to
Accessing the Xerox® CentreWare® Internet Services Administrator Account.
To configure SLP settings using the printer control panel, refer to Network Settings.
