Network Requirements

AirPrint requires that devices are discoverable via the Bonjour protocol. Bonjour is Multicast DNS (mDNS) based. In some networks, mDNS traffic is not allowed to be passed across subnets. In these instances, a device will only be discoverable if the Apple iOS device and the AirPrint-capable Xerox device are on the same subnet.

Xerox Device Requirements

Xerox ConnectKey Devices launched in 2013. For the most current list of devices that have been updated with the .dlm AirPrint enablement software, visit www.xerox.com/connectkey.

The Xerox device can be configured for wired or wireless networking. There is no requirement for a Xerox device to be wireless enabled. The Apple iOS device will be using wireless. For AirPrint to work with a wired printer, the wired and wireless network segments need to be bridged and allow mDNS traffic to be routed between them.

Apple Device Requirements

To use AirPrint, you will need one of the following devices with the latest version of iOS:

  • iPad (all models)

  • iPhone (3GS or later)

  • iPod touch (3rd generation or later)

AirPrint OS X Requirements

  • OS X 10.6 and above

  • See www.apple.com for the latest operating systems that support AirPrint

Applications that Support AirPrint

You can print from these any iOS application that supports the Print function. For example: iBooks, Mail, iPhoto, and Safari. Other applications are available from the App Store and may also offer this feature.
