Configure WSD (Web Services on Devices)
As stated by Microsoft, WSD is Microsoft's implementation of the printers Profile for Web Services
(DPWS) standard, a specification that enables devices, such as printers, cell phones, cameras, and
home entertainment centers, to use standard Web-based protocols (HTTP and UDP) to discover one
another, advertise their services over the IP (versions 4 or 6) network, and report on their operational
status.
Typically, a device such as a network printer will use a small amount of flash memory to store WSD-
related information. The WSD device then advertises a primary endpoint that can be located through
WS-Discovery (via UDP) on a Windows Vista client.
The endpoint supplies metadata about itself through WS-Metadata Transfer. This information typically
includes manufacturer, device information, and service host metadata (information on offered
services).
WSD provides two way communication, enabling a printer to both receive jobs and to send status
notifications to Windows clients when events occur, such as supplies running low.
To configure this printer for WSD, perform the following steps.
1. Open your Web browser and enter the IP address of the printer in the address field. Press Enter to
open CentreWare Internet Services.
2. Click the Properties tab.
3. Enter the system administrator User Name and Password (default admin, 1111) if prompted.
4. Click the Connectivity folder, then the Protocols folder.
5. Select WSD in the directory tree.
6. The available selections include:
Port Number: Enter the port number between 1 and 65535. Port 80 is the recommended HTTP
•
default. Do not use the numbers assigned to the other ports.
• TBCP Filter: Check to enable TBCP Filter when PostScript data is to be processed. This is only
available when the optional PostScript 3 kit is installed. When the transmission data includes
binary data or EPS data, disable this. For Windows, follow the Output Protocol setting in the
printer Settings tab of the Properties screen of the print driver.
• Data Receive Time-Out: Enter the timeout period for receiving data from WSD clients between
1 and 65535 seconds in 1 second increments.
Notification Delivery Time-Out: Enter the timeout period for notification delivery to WSD
•
clients between 1 and 60 seconds in 1 second increments.
• Maximum TTL: The Time to Live setting (in seconds) for undelivered IP datagrams (such as
UDP being used with WSD). Enter a value 1 and 10.
• Maximum Number of Subscribers: Enter the maximum number of clients for reserved
notification between 1 and 200.
7. Click Apply to apply setting changes, or the Undo button to return settings to their previous values.
Note: Setting changes are not applied until you restart the printer. There is a convenient button on the
Status Tab of CentreWare Internet Services.
