Introduction

Overview
This guide is designed for a system administrator with network administrator rights who understands
networking concepts and has experience creating and managing network user accounts.
Use this guide to help you install, configure, and manage your printer on a network.
Notes:



Network features are not available when you are connected over USB.
Embedded fax features are not available for all printer models.

Configuration Steps
When configuring the printer for the first time, complete the following tasks:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your printer to the network.
2. Confirm that your printer is recognized on your network. By default, the printer is configured to
receive an IP address from a DHCP server over a TCP/IP network. If you have another type of
network, or want to assign a static IP address, see IP on page 27.
3. Complete the installation wizards. These wizards help you configure basic printer settings such as
your location, time zone, and date and time preferences.
4. Print a Configuration Report listing the current printer configuration. Review the report and locate
the printer IP address. For details, see Configuration Report on page 17.
5. Open a Web browser and type the IP address of your printer to access CentreWare Internet Services.
CentreWare Internet Services is the administration and configuration software installed on the
embedded Web server in the printer. For details, see Accessing CentreWare Internet Services on page
19.
Note: Most configuration settings are located on the Properties tab in CentreWare Internet Services.
6.

Print the Configuration Checklist. The Configuration Checklist provides space for you to write down
important information as you go through the configuration process. Use it to record information
about your network settings, including passwords, network paths, and server addresses.
7. Configure Authentication. For details, see Setting Up Access Rights on page 60.
8. Configure Security. For details, see Security on page 59.
9. Enable services in CentreWare Internet Services. For details, see Enabling Services on page 20.
10. Configure Print, Scan, and Fax features. For details, see Printing on page 101, Scanning on page 119,
and Faxing on page 139.
11. Configure Accounting. For details, see Accounting on page 159.
Note: Not all printer models support these features.

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.

Internet Fax screen on the printer control panel. If your LDAP server does not contain a unique
Internet Fax address field, it can be set to match the heading for email address.

Configuring LDAP Authorization Access
If you have specified Remote Authorization as the authentication type, you can use LDAP user groups to
control access to printer services and features. Access group names are defined in the LDAP server. For
example, the LDAP server can contain a group of users called Admin. You can configure the Admin group
on the printer so that only members of this group have administrator access to the printer. When a user
belonging to the group Admin logs in to the printer, the printer performs an LDAP directory look-up to
verify the user. Once authenticated, the user is allowed administrative rights to the printer.
Note: User groups can only be configured for the first LDAP server in the list. All other servers use the
same Authorization Access settings.

You can control access to services and features by setting up authentication and authorization.
Personalization allows the printer to retrieve user information to customize features.
Authentication
Authentication is the process of confirming the identity of a user. When authentication is enabled, the
printer compares the information that a user provides to another source of information, such as an LDAP
directory. Users can be authenticated when accessing the control panel or when accessing CentreWare
Internet Services.
There are several ways to authenticate a user:

Local: When local authentication is configured, users log in at the control panel. The printer
compares the user credentials to the information stored in the User Information Database. Use this
authentication method if you have a limited number of users, or do not have access to an
authentication server.

Network: When network authentication is configured, users log in at the control panel. The printer
compares the user credentials to the information stored on an authentication server.
The printer can use one of the following protocols to communicate with your authentication server:

Kerberos (Solaris)

Kerberos (Windows 2000/2003)

NDS

SMB (Windows 2000/2003)

LDAP

Card Reader:

When Xerox® Secure Access authentication is configured, users swipe a pre-programmed
identification card at the control panel. The printer compares the user credentials to the
information stored on the Xerox® Secure Access server. To use Xerox® Secure Access, purchase
and install the Xerox Secure Access Unified ID System®.

When Smart Card authentication is configured, users swipe a pre-programmed identification
card at the control panel. Purchase and install a Smart Card reading system before configuring
Smart Card authentication.
Authorization

60

WorkCentre 7500 Series Multifunction Printer
System Administrator Guide

Security

Authorization is the process of defining the features that users are allowed to access. For example, you
can configure the printer to allow a user to copy, scan, and fax, but not email.
There are two types of authorization:

Local: User login information is stored on the printer in the User Information Database.

Network: User login information is stored externally in a network database, such as an LDAP
directory.
Personalization
Personalization is the process of customizing services for a specific user. The printer searches an LDAP
directory for the home directory and email address of a user when using Scan to Home, or Email Scanning
features.

Local Authentication
When local authentication is configured, users log in at the control panel. The printer compares the user
credentials to the information stored in the User Information Database. Use this authentication method
if you have a limited number of users, or do not have access to an authentication server.

User Permissions
Print permissions are rules that allow you to control printing times and methods for a group of users. You
can:

Restrict color printing, requiring users to print in black and white.

Restrict 1-sided printing, requiring users to print 2-sided.

Restrict a Job Type, such as Secure Print.

Restrict access to specific paper trays.

Specify the software applications from which users are allowed to print.

Restrict printing, color printing, and 1-sided printing from specific software applications.
Note: Users can see a list of restricted print methods in the print driver. If a user attempts to print at a
restricted time or using a restricted method, the printer does not process the job. The printer sends a
message to the user informing them why the job did not print.

User Roles
A role is a set of permissions associated with a group of users. To edit permissions for a group of users,
you edit permissions for a role. There are two types of roles:

Non-Authenticated Users Role: The Non-Authenticated Users role applies to any user who accesses
the printer, but does not provide authentication credentials. This role also applies to anyone who

FIPS 140-2
You can enable the printer to check the current configuration to ensure that transmitted and stored data
is encrypted as specified in Government Standard FIPS 140-2 (Level 1). If FIPS 140-2 encryption is
required, all computers, serves, browser software, security certificates, and applications must comply with
the standard or operate in FIPS-compliant mode.
To allow the printer to use non-FIPS compliant protocols or features when FIPS 140 mode is enabled,
acknowledge the notification of non-compliance during the validation process.
Note: Enabling FIPS 140 Mode can prevent the printer from communicating with network devices
that communicate using protocols that do not use FIPS-compliant encryption algorithms.
When non-FIPS compliant protocols, such as SNMPv3 or NetWare, are enabled after FIPS mode is
enabled, a message appears indicating the protocols use non-FIPS compliant encryption algorithms.
When you enable FIPS-140 mode, the printer validates the current configuration by performing the
following checks:

Validates certificates for features where the printer is the server in the client-server relationship. An
SSL certificate for HTTPS is an example.

Validates certificates for features where the printer is the client in the client-server relationship. CA
certificates for LDAP, Xerox Extensible Interface Platform (EIP), and SMart eSolutions are examples.

Validates certificates that are installed on the printer, but not used. Certificates for HTTPS, LDAP, or
SNMPv3 are examples.

Checks features and protocols for non-compliant encryption algorithms. For example, NetWare and
SNMPv3 use encryption algorithms that are not FIPS-compliant.
When validation is complete, information and links appear in a table at the bottom of the page.

Click the appropriate link to disable a non-compliant feature, or protocol.

Click the appropriate link to replace any non-compliant certificates.

Click the appropriate link to acknowledge that you allow the printer to use non-compliant features
and protocols.

Security Certificates
A digital certificate is a file that contains data used to verify the identity of the client or server in a
network transaction. A certificate also contains a public key used to create and verify digital signatures.
One device proves its identity to another by presenting a certificate trusted by the other device. Or, the
device can present a certificate signed by a trusted third party and a digital signature proving its
ownership of the certificate.
A digital certificate includes the following data:

Information about the owner of the certificate

The certificate serial number and expiration date

The name and digital signature of the Certificate Authority (CA) that issued the certificate

A public key

A purpose defining how the certificate and public key can be used
There are three types of certificates:

Device Certificate: A certificate for which the printer has a private key, and the purpose specified in
the certificate allows it to be used to prove identity.

CA Certificate: A certificate with authority to sign other certificates.

Trusted Certificate: A self-signed certificate from another device that you want to trust.
To ensure that the printer can communicate with other devices over a secure trusted connection, both
devices must have certain certificates installed.
For protocols such as HTTPS, the printer is the server, and must prove its identity to the client Web
browser. For protocols such as 802.1X, the printer is the client, and must prove its identity to the
authentication server, typically a RADIUS server. For features that use these protocols, perform the
following two tasks:

Install a device certificate on the printer.
Note: When you enable HTTPS, a Xerox® Device Certificate is automatically created and installed on
the printer.


Install a copy of the CA certificate that was used to sign the device certificate of the printer on the
other device.

Protocols such as LDAP and IPsec require both devices to prove their identity to each other.
For features that use these protocols, perform the tasks listed under one of the following options:
Option 1

Install a device certificate on the printer.

Install a copy of the CA certificate that was used to sign the device certificate of the printer on the
other device.

Install a copy of the CA certificate that was used to sign the certificate of the other device on the
printer.
88

WorkCentre 7500 Series Multifunction Printer
System Administrator Guide

Security

Option 2
If the other device is using a self-signed certificate, install a copy of the trusted certificate of the other
device on the printer.

Installing a Digital Certificate
There are three ways to install a certificate on the printer:

Create and install a Xerox® Device Certificate.
Create a Xerox® Device Certificate to allow the printer to generate a certificate, sign it, and create a
public key used in SSL encryption. Install the Xerox® Device Certificate on the printer, and install the
Generic Xerox® Trusted CA Certificate in the devices that the printer communicates with. Examples
of other devices are client Web browsers for HTTPS, or RADIUS authentication server for 802.1X.
Installing this certificate ensures that users can access the printer using CentreWare Internet
Services, and certificate warning messages do not appear.
Note: Creating a Xerox® Device Certificate is less secure than creating a certificate signed by a
trusted CA. If you do not have a server functioning as a Certificate Authority, install a Xerox® Device
Certificate on the printer. Then install the Generic Xerox® Trusted CA Certificate on the other devices.




Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and install the CA-signed device certificate.
Create a CSR. Send the CSR to a CA or a local server functioning as a CA to sign the CSR and return
the certificate. Install the certificate on the printer. An example of a server functioning as a CA is
Windows Server 2008 running Certificate Services.
Install trusted CA and self-signed certificates.
Install the certificates of the root CA, and any intermediate CAs for your company. Install the
self-signed certificates from any other devices in your network.

802.1X
802.1X is an Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard that defines a method for
port-based network access control or authentication. In an 802.1X secured network, the printer must be
authenticated by a central authority, typically a RADIUS server, before it can access the physical network.
You can enable and configure the printer to be used in an 802.1X secured network from the printer
control panel or in CentreWare Internet Services.
Before you begin:

Ensure that your 802.1X authentication server and authentication switch are available on the
network.

Determine the supported authentication method.

Create a user name and password on your authentication server.
Note: This procedure causes the printer to restart and be unavailable over the network for several
minutes.

UNIX, Linux, and AS/400 Printing
UNIX-based printing uses LPD/LPR port 515 or lp to port 9100 to provide printer spooling and network
print server functionality. Xerox® printers can communicate using either protocol.

Xerox® Services for UNIX Systems
Xerox® Services for UNIX Systems (XSUS) is an application that allows you to manage and print to
multiple printers in UNIX and Linux environments. XSUS allows you to:

Configure and check the status of network connected printers.

Set up a printer on your network as well as monitor the operation of the printer once installed.

Perform maintenance checks and view supplies status at any time.

Provide a common look and feel across the many different suppliers of UNIX and Linux operating
systems.

Supported Printing Models






Workstation-to-printer (Peer-to-Peer): Print jobs are processed and spooled locally on your
computer, then sent directly to the printer. XSUS must be installed on each computer.
Workstation-to-Server (Client-Server): Print jobs are processed and spooled on your computer, then
sent to the printer. Install XSUS on both the server and the computer.
Server Based: Print jobs are sent unprocessed from your computer, spooled on the server, then sent
to the printer. Install XSUS on the server only. Individual computers can set up a generic lp or lpr
queue and point to the queue on the print server.
Network Information Service (NIS) Based: NIS uses a printer configuration map on the server. As
new printer queues are added to a print server, only the configuration file in the master NIS server is
updated. NIS clients can then print to any of the queues listed on the server map without setting up
local queues.

For more information on how to set up NIS-based printing, see your UNIX or Linux operating system
documentation.

Installing XSUS
Before you begin:
Ensure that you have root or superuser privileges to install XSUS.
1. From the Xerox® Drivers and Downloads website, download the following .tgz files to a temporary
directory:

Printer Model Package file which contains PPD files for all printer models. The file name is
PrinterPkgXPXX_20xx_xx_xx.tgz.

Print Driver for your operating system. The available files are:

XeroxAIXpowerpcxpxx_x.xx.xx.tgz for the IBM RS6000 family.

AS/400
Xerox® provides Work Station Customization Object (WSCO) files to support AS/400 or Iseries, V5R2 or
later systems. The WSCO file provides printer-specific PCL codes. The host print transform uses these
codes to select the correct tray, 2-sided option, font size and type, and orientation.
The XTOOLSxxxx library provides a source WSCO for each supported Xerox® printer or device. You only
download and install the library once.
Notes:




The host print transform only works on files that are of the type AFPDS and SCS. PIDS
formatted printer files must be recreated as type AFPDS to use the WSCO for printing.
You must have IOSYSCFG permissions to create a device description or a remote queue.
For details on AS/400, refer to the IBM AS/400 Printing V, (Red Book), available on the IBM

Configuring a Server Fax Filing Repository
Before you can send a server fax, configure fax repository settings. Once configured, the printer transfers
faxed images to the repository. The fax server then sends the fax to its destination over the phone line.
You can set up a repository that uses one of the following protocols:

FTP

SFTP

SMB

HTTP/HTTPS: A Web server using a CGI script.

SMTP: A mail server.

NetWare

Configuring a Fax Repository Using FTP or SFTP
Before you begin:

Ensure that FTP or SFTP services are running on the server or computer where images faxed by the
printer are stored. Note the IP address or host name.

Create a user account and password for the printer. When the Server Fax feature is used, the printer
logs in using the account, transfers the file to the server or computer and logs out. Note the user
account and password.

Create a directory within the FTP or SFTP root to be used as a fax repository. Note the directory path.
To configure fax repository settings using FTP or SFTP:

Xerox Standard Accounting
Xerox Standard Accounting (XSA) tracks the numbers of copy, print, scan, and fax jobs for each user. You
can set limits to restrict the total number of jobs by type that a user can produce. You can then generate
reports listing usage data for individual users and groups.
When XSA is enabled, users must log in to the printer before accessing services. They must also provide
their account details in the print driver before printing documents from a computer.
Notes:



If XSA is enabled, you cannot enable other accounting modes.
Install drivers and enable accounting in the drivers for all user computers.

You can create a maximum of:

2499 unique XSA user IDs

500 General Accounts

499 Group Accounts
All user IDs must be assigned to one or more group accounts. XSA settings and account data are stored in
the printer. Xerox recommends that you use the Cloning feature to back up settings. If XSA settings are
lost or deleted, you can restore them using the cloning backup file. For details, see Cloning on page 178,
on page 178.
