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. If Directory Agents (DA) exist on the network,
they provide a cache for services information. When Directory Agent Discovery is enabled, the printer
attempts SLP Directory Agent Discovery.

− On : The printer uses multicast to communicate as needed.
− Off : The printer uses broadcast instead of multicast to communicate.

also referred to as hop count or time-to-live (TTL).
9. To specify the maximum packet size that the printer can transmit for UDP, for SLP MTU, type a
value from 484–1400. When packets exceed the maximum size, the printer uses TCP/IP.
