SLP
Devices use Service Location Protocol (SLP) to announce and look up services on a local network. If you
enable SLP on the printer, it becomes a Service Agent (SA) and announces its services on the network
to User Agents (UA), who search for services, using the protocol.
Note:
If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see
Accessing
CentreWare IS
on page 17.

required to use it instead of communicating directly with the device.
