Xerox WorkCentre 5600 Series Evaluator Guide     11
Evaluate IT Compatibility 
One of the most important considerations when evaluating a new copier/printer/MFP is its ability to meet current and future network 
and security standards. Is the device compatible with the latest technologies? Can it be easily upgraded to stay up to speed with new 
technological developments?
Cutting-edge Internet and security standards meet today’s most demanding office 
requirements. Redesigned to enhance your IT investment, the WorkCentre 5600 Series 
devices offer the latest innovations that are critical to efficient, forward-thinking IT 
operations:
IPv6 support — The advanced controller in WorkCentre 5600 Series devices supports •
the IPv6 protocol for printing, scanning and device management
Web Services on Devices (WSD) — Xerox 5600 Web Services technology provides a •
common framework for describing and sharing information over the Internet, delivering 
an improved customer experience around connecting, installing, and using Windows-
based devices. 
Smart Card authentication — WorkCentre 5600 Series devices support Smart Card •
technology, which protects against unauthorized access. Users can be authenticated 
using a two-factor identification system — including both card-based identification and 
a personal identification number entered at the device user interface — to gain access 
to the walkup features at the device and the network.
1 GB Ethernet — The new network controller in the WorkCentre 5632, 5638, 5645 and •
5655 delivers Ethernet connection speeds of up to 1 Gigabit*, which triples the speed 
of standard 10/100/1000 Base T Ethernet connections. This increased performance 
eliminates network bottlenecks and drastically improves the speed at which jobs reach 
your WorkCentre 5600 Series device.  
Xerox Global Print Driver and Xerox Mobile Express Driver — WorkCentre 5600 Series •
support these two innovative new print drivers that can greatly simplify installing, 
managing and supporting printers and MFPs on the network, and increase end-user 
productivity.
Improved remote management — Xerox Device Manager, Centre Ware Web and •
CentreWare Internet Services deliver streamlined device fleet management from a 
centralized location, including configuration management, device-status notifications, 
enhanced standardized management-information-base profiles, and comprehensive 
audit logs.
