Introduction
The Xerox WorkCentre 56xx 08 series multi function devices (MFDs) provide all the same capabilities as its predecessor WorkCentre 56xx 07 series devices, while adding features and functionality that will be both evident and transparent to the customer. This paper is intended to provide a technology overview to help field personnel and IT organizations to understand the similarities and differences between these two products. It is also intended to help minimize certification efforts so you can more quickly, and cost effectively, introduce the new features and functionality offered by the WorkCentre 56xx 08 to enhance your customers work environment. The WorkCentre 56xx 08 product family is built on the same core platform as the WorkCentre 56xx 07 series. This paper outlines the additional features as well as the degree of change in each of the functional areas of the device.

Configurations
The WorkCentre 56xx 08 series introduces a new software release across the range of products already available in the WorkCentre 56xx 07 series. Additionally, a new single board controller (SBC) architecture has been introduced into the 5632, 5638, 5645 and 5655ppm configurations to enable some new capabilities including 1Gb Ethernet and on-board USB printing. This architecture combines three system controller boards (User interface Controller, Copy Controller and Network Controller) into one. The 5665, 5675 and 5687 members of the family remain on the same multi- board controller (MBC) architecture. Existing 5632, 5638, 5645 and 5655 configurations from the WorkCentre 56xx 07 series will be capable of an optional upgrade to the WorkCentre 56xx 08 series software release by Xerox personnel. For the purposes of this document the following references will be used MBC Multi-board Controller SBC Single Board Controller WC - WorkCentre

Summary of Key IT Changes and New features on WC 56xx 08

IPv6 (Phase 2) Implementation of Phase 2 is based on a rigorous examination which is focused on daily professional use of IPv6. The WC 56xx 08 devices will support scan, print, and administration over IPv6, IPv4 or a mixture of these environments. For example, the same device is able to receive a print job on IPv4, scan to an IPv6 server and be administered over the web UI over IPv6. The devices are capable of performing all print and scan jobs over IPv6 with IPv4 disabled. The product is IPv6Ready Phase 2 (Gold) certified from the IPv6 Forums Logo Program. WSD & Vista Certification Web Services for Devices is required for devices that work with Microsoft Vista OS. The implementation enables MS Vista Logo certification through the MS WHQL program for the WC 56xx 08 print drivers. Supporting this MS feature also brings value to the customer by enabling easy installation of print drivers. WS-Print will be used in the future by our Universal Print Driver by extending the Microsoft schemas with Xerox information. This feature will deliver the Plug and Play experience needed for the product to support Office Networking and Printing/Scanning solutions, with Microsoft Vista OS. This feature will give customers a true dynamic experience in the areas of device discovery, management and usage for Multi Function Devices [MFD] and Printers/ Scanners. Also, this feature will enable real time job monitoring for printing, and true Ad-Hoc discovery and job submission for the mobile user. However, two issues have been filed with Microsoft relating to MS Vista OS implementation of the WSD feature. These are Microsoft issues and as such the 56xx 08 WSD feature is available but defaulted to off. More information can be found in Appendix D Latest Xerox Windows Driver Platform (XWPD) Print Drivers Compatibility Takes advantage of the new Xerox Windows Driver Platform (XWDP) including the Xerox Global Print Driver (X-GPD) and Xerox Mobil Print Driver (X-MPD).

All traditional, product specific drivers as launched with the WC 56xx 07, will function properly with the WC 56xx 08 devices. This will ensure that the transition between WC 56xx 07 and WC 56xx 08 is transparent to the user. Note: The WC 56xx 07 print driver is also compatible with WC 56xx 08. MS Server 2008 Certification is now part of the WHQL certification process and as such the WC 56xx 08 will come with MS Server 2008 certification. Auto registration of AMR (Automated Meter Reads) and ASR (Automatic Supplies Replenishment) mirrors that of the WC 76xx series and is defaulted on. WC 56xx 08 supports a new R9 Fax card which incorporates the latest modem chipset. The software on 56xx 08 will be backward compatible and work with the R8 Fax Card but is a pre-requisite for an R9 Fax card. By using an Analog Terminal Adaptor a customer would be able to fax over an IP network. For additional details please see the Customer Tip available at http://www.office.xerox.com/support/dctips/dc08cc0439.pdf. Several MIB profiles are standardized for more consistent XDM reporting across products. As well as updated remote configuration options for the new features such as IPv6, Fax forward, Dynamic SMTP, CAC SmartCard. Please see Appendix C for a complete list of MIB compliance improvements.

Updated WEB UI New EIP (Extensible Interface Platform) Solutions 1GB Ethernet Foreign Device Interface USB Printing Interface Parallel Printing Support

There have been updates made to the Web UI that will enable the new features contained within the WC 56xx 08. There are changes to the functionality of EIP, including but not limited to the ability to enable and disable Web Services and browser individually. EIP is installed by default on WC 56xx 08 and can be enabled from the Web UI. EIP on 56xx 08 also offers additional HTML based widgets that are backward compatible with your current 56xx. 32-55ppm (SBC) supports full and Half Duplex 1GB Ethernet. It can be enabled via the WEB UI or through the Local UI. The new SBC configuration machines require a new version of FDI card. Support for direct print from a laptop to a device via USB is standard on the 32-55ppm SBC configuration. MBC configuration system will continue to require the purchase of an accessory kit as per the WC 56xx 07 series. Parallel Printing is no longer supported by the 32-55 ppm SBC. MBC configuration system can support but will continue to require the purchase of an accessory kit as per the WC 56xx 07 series. This is the same kit that also enables USB printing on the WC 56xx 08 MBC. The WC 5632, 5638, 5645, 5655, 5675, 5687 08 MBC versions are compatible with the Xerox CAC solution and are enabled with a Feature Enable Key. CAC is not supported in the SBC version.

Device
The WC 56xx 08 series introduces new configurations across the range of products already available in the WC 56xx 07 series. See the Configuration section on page 3 for additional details.

Network Controller
There is no separate Network Controller for 5632, 5638, 5645 and 5655ppm SBC configurations - it is integrated into the main board in the Copy Controller tray. For the WC 56xx 08 MBC configurations the network controller is the same as WC 56xx 07 series.

How Can I Tell One Version From Another?

The major digits of the system software version number can be used to determine what 56xx device you have:

Network Connected Device

56xx 07 MBC devices have a software version of 21.113.02.xxx 56xx 08 SBC devices will have a software version number of 25.54.xx.xxx. 56xx 08 MBC devices will have a software version of 21.120.xx.xxx

Non-Connected Device
56xx 07 MBC devices have a software version of 20.113.02.xxx 56xx 08 MBC devices will have a software version of 20.120.xx.xxx. There is no non-connected version of the SBC version. (where x represents the minor version).

IPv6 Phase 2 Certification

The WC 56xx 08 products have received IPv6 Phase 2 Certification from the IPv6 Forums Logo Program. This is a world-wide consortium that validates conformance and interoperability of IPv6 implementations. This certification assures customers that the WC 56xx 08 products will be good IPv6 network citizens and will work properly with industry routers and servers that support IPv6.

Information on the IPv6 Ready Logo program can be found on the InterOperability Laboratory (University of New Hampshire) web site at http://www.iol.unh.edu/services/testing/ipv6/logoholders.php.

Productivity / Concurrency
The WC 56xx 08 series will achieve at least as good productivity and concurrency performance as the WC 56xx 07 series. Disabling disk encryption may improve print productivity under very large and complex job scenarios at highest resolution.

Security
There are few differences in main security options between WC 56xx 07 and WC 56xx 08 devices, however, the WC 56xx 08 MBC includes the support of the Xerox CAC solution as well as the ability to disable encryption. All devices are tested to the same security level as WC 56xx 07.

Common Criteria Certification

Common Criteria is an internationally recognized method for certifying the security claims of information technology (IT) products and systems. Xeroxs philosophy is to certify the entire product, unlike our competitors who certify only parts of their systems. The WC 56xx 08 devices will be submitted for Common Criteria Certification and we are very confident that we will achieve this certification as we have with many previously launched products. If required by the customer 56xx 08 can be downgraded to 56xx 07 software release which is currently under CCC evaluation.

Xerox CAC Solution (MBC versions only)

The Xerox Common Access Card solution uses a SmartCard, issued by a Federal Government Registration Authority as standard identification for Government DoD personnel and contractors. CAC can be used for general identification, controlled building access as well as for authentication to personal computers, MFPs and the networks that connect them. CAC enables users to be authenticated using two factor identification to gain access to walk up services (e.g. Copy, FAX, Scan to Email and Network Scanning) at the MFP. The Xerox CAC solution was designed to integrate seamlessly into current CAC environments, and requires no modifications to the network setup. The solution assumes that customers will supply their own preferred CAC reader which connects to the MFP over an industry standard USB interface. This interface also powers both the card reader and the card itself. For more information on CAC and the card readers and cards that have been tested and found compatible please see the Technical Support Disclosure Guide available at http://xww.docushare-xogpsg.world.xerox.com/dsweb/Get/Document726743/dc08td072.pdf.

The Xerox Common Access Card solution is enabled on the WC 56xx 08 MBC devices via a Feature Enable Key.

Authentication and Authorization

There are no differences in basic Authentication and Authorization behavior.

Encryption
Encryption with the WC 56xx 07 devices was permanently on. Now with the WC 56xx 08 devices encryption is defaulted on and can be enabled and disabled from the WEB UI. Disabling encryption may improve print productivity under very large and complex job scenarios.

Printing
There are no changes to the supported PDLs from previous generations. There are no changes to the originally supported print environments. There are no changes to the basic print features. Support for parallel printing is not available on the WC 56xx 08 SBC. The WC 56xx 08 SBC offers USB printing as standard without the requirement to purchase a kit. USB printing may be enabled from the WEB UI or Local UI. USB printing is mutually exclusive to the use of Service tools, in order to use service tools USB printing muse be disabled. USB printing is also mutually exclusive with Copier Assistant in order to use copier assistant USB printing must be disabled.

Print Drivers
WC 56xx 08 devices utilize Xerox Windows Driver Platform (XWDP) print drivers. These new drivers still offer all the same features as the current generation print drivers with added capabilities. Both WC 56xx and WC 56xx 08 PostScript and PCL print drivers are WHQL certified with Vista Premium Logo and fully tested in a large variety of applications including Citrix and Print Clustered environments. The User Interface on the XWDP driver is similar to the current WC 56xx print drivers with added visual icons for bidirectional status.

Scanning Features
There are no major changes to scanning features.

Fax
No major changes to Walk-up Fax, Server Fax, Internet Fax and LAN Fax. The current 56xx 07 series fax board known as R8 has been updated to the R9 fax board to replace an obsolete modem chip. Both R8 and R9 boards are compatible WC 56xx 08 devices although R9 is not compatible with 56xx 07 devices.

Copy
There are no differences in basic copy behavior.

Device Administration and Management

There are some improvements in device administration and management including MIB updates (reference Appendix C) and also support for the Microsoft standard for Web Services on Devices (WSD).

WSD
In typical scenarios a customer wanting to connect to a new printer would have to find the IP address of that printer, download print drivers; install them; configure them; before being able to print. With the WC 56xx 08 WSD capability is implemented to provide the following capabilities: Automatically discovers the printer without having to input the IP address. Point and click to install and configure printers. Uses the latest protocols (SSL/TLS) to ensure the highest level of information security. The device provides customer more information about itself and the jobs they are printing. Note: Two specific issues have been filed with Microsoft relating to MS Vista OS implementation of the WSD feature. These are Microsoft issues and as such the 56xx 08 WSD feature is available but defaulted to off. More information can be found in Appendix D.

Device Cloning
Cloning from WC 56xx 07 (MBC) to WC 56xx 08 (MBC or SBC) Cloning works as expected with the following exceptions: o o o NTP settings was not a feature in WC 56xx 07, so is not able to be cloned. Novell NetWare SAP enablement does not clone. NetBIOS over Extended User Interface (NetBEUI) is not supported in the newer products so NetBIOS can only run over TCP/IP. Therefore the "Transport" option in WC 56xx '07 is not able to be cloned to WC 56xx 08 MBC and SBC. o IPSec fields cannot be cloned.

Cloning from WC 56xx 08 MBC to WC 56xx 08 SBC All fields are cloned. Cloning from WC 56xx 08 SBC to WC 56xx 08 MBC All fields are cloned.

Web User Interface

There have been updates to the WEB UI based on the additional functionality included in the WC 56xx 08 devices. The changes to the WEB UI include: Improved EIP (Custom Services) setup. Web Services for Devices (WSD) configuration Smart eSolutions setup improvements including auto configuration Network Time Protocol (NTP) the date and time of the system can be set using a network time server (NTP) at boot time and every subsequent 24 hour period. User Data Encryption is now able to be enabled or disabled via the WEB UI.

Local User Interface

There are no differences with the local user interface functionality.

Accounting
There are no differences in accounting functionality. There is a difference in FDI cards between the WC 56xx 08 SBC and MBC versions. The WC 56xx 08 SBC version uses the WC 7655/7665/7675 FDI card while the WC 56xx 08 MBC version uses the WC 56xx 07 FDI card.

Xerox Solutions
The Xerox solutions that were compatible with 56xx 07 devices are also compatible with the 56xx 08 devices. However, there have been improvements to AMR/ASR as well as the Extensible Interface Platform (EIP).

Automatic Supplies Replenishment (ASR) and Automated Meter Read (AMR)

Auto registration of ASR and AMR mirrors that of the WC 76xx series and is defaulted on. As such, the WC 56xx 08 devices will connect automatically to AMR normally without intervention. However, if the customer network uses a Custom Configuration Script, then auto registration may not work. If this is the case follow the instructions for the WC 56xx 07 to enable meter reads (from IE, select Tools Options Internet

LAN Settings>. For additional information, including installation instructions, visit the SMart

eSolutions site at http://www.xerox.com/smartesolutions.

EIP
There are changes to the functionality of EIP, including the ability to enable and disable Web Services and browser individually. Also, EIP will be installed by default on the WC 56xx 08 devices, unlike the WC 56xx 07 devices where EIP was not installed. EIP will also include enhanced widgets (HTML-based) while still maintaining backward compatibility with previously released widgets. Also EIP is available as the default walk-up service and the Local UI touch tones are supported on the EIP screen.

Xerox Partner Solutions

There is no change in the support and offering of Xerox Partner Solutions. The same solutions are supported on the WC 56xx 08 devices as were on the WC 56xx 07 devices.

Appendix D: WSD Limitations

Windows Vista has two main problems that will make WSD less useful, they are: 1) Re-installation of drivers in Vista fails There are several use cases that dont work well on Vista and they all are related to install a new driver: to update a new driver release with an already installed printer through WSD port is arduous. The previous driver releases in the System folder have to be deleted and sometimes the only way to update the driver is to re-ghost the system image. This is an issue that customers might face when newer releases are obtained from the web. once the PDL for the driver install is chosen, there is no way the user will be able to install a different PDL driver for the same printer. Our customers are known to, for instance, install the PCL driver initially and when they encounter a problem for which there is no fix in PCL driver, customer support advises them to install the PS driver. In a WSD world, this is not possible unless the user is able to reghost the system image. once a PC client has an installed print driver on the WSD port, any attempt to install a print driver for the same printer through Port9100 (the regular port) is unsuccessful. As soon as the printer is installed on the client on Port9100, it goes Offline and stays Offline. We believe this issue is related to this Microsoft Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944960/en-us which has a workaround but it is not easy.

2) Vista does not re-subscribe for events Our testers have observed that after about an hour, during load testing (when the printer is being asked to print continuously), Vista does not re-subscribe for all events. The effect of this is if the printer goes into an error state, Vista doesnt get the information that the error was cleared and the driver will not allow printing to take place. We have filed this issue with Microsoft and are waiting to hear back from them.

Because of these issues, the 56xx 08 program will have WSD defaulted to off. The feature can be turned on via the Web UI.
