It is supported in Windows Vista and WindowsServer 2008 operating systems. WSD is one of several supported communication protocols.Enabling WSDNote: If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see AccessingCentreWare 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 aminimum of networking services, such as DNS, UDDI, or other directory services. It does thisby announcing or advertising the existence of the printer and its services on the networkwhen 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 torespond to and announce the service URLs provided by the printer to the client computers onthe 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 tohandle multicast group communication to reduce overall WS-Discovery traffic.c. WS-Print: If enabled, this setting allows the printer’s print capabilities to be announcedthrough 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 possiblethrough any WSD port.d.
