Network Configuration26 Phaser 6700 Color PrinterSystem Administrator GuideSLPPrinters use Service Location Protocol (SLP) to announce and look up services on a local network withoutprior configuration. When SLP is enabled, the printer becomes a Service Agent (SA) and announces itsservices 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 theamount 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.Configuring SLP1.
