WES Lexmark - Prerequisites and prior configuration

 

Prerequisites

  • Lexmark WES v2 is compatible with devices supporting eSF SDK v3.

  • Lexmark WES v3 is compatible with devices supporting eSF SDK v4.X, 5.X or 6.X.

  • The Lexmark device must be ready to accept embedded applications.

  • To enable secure printing, models equipped with SDK 4.X must have a Lexmark-supplied eSF license installed on the devices.

  • Printing devices with screens smaller than 4.3 inches are not supported.

Configure ports

The network ports to open are the following:

Brand Source Target Port Protocole
Lexmark SDK4* WES Service Watchdoc (kernel) TCP 5754
TCP 5753
HTTP
HTTPS
Lexmark SDK6+
WES Service Watchdoc (kernel) TCP 5753 HTTPS

Lexmark

Service Watchdoc Périphérique d'impression TCP 80

TCP 443
HTTP

HTTPS

 

* SSL only is not possible with the SDK4. 
In the event of a multi-server configuration (load balancing) for devices equipped with different SDKs, it is therefore necessary to open:

  • the port 5754

  • the port 5753 .

Prior configuration

Consult the compatibility list to check that your device is compatible with the WES.
The configuration of the Lexmark device is carried out automatically during the installation of the WES. No manual intervention is required.
