Firmware 101.xxx.099.28200 October 2019
Agentless Cloud Authentication for XWC
MFP support to allow the device to authenticate directly with the XWC without the need to use an on-prem agent. See
XWC documentation version 5.4 for how to set up this capability.
California Password Law
Updates to comply with 2020 California Password law (SB-327).
This software release supports the California password law SB-327 effective January 1, 2020. The device admin password
and SNMP private string will be the device serial number if a forced altboot reload is performed. The password is case
sensitive.
Energy Star 3.0
This software release ensures our products will continue to meet Energy Star. Energy Star 3.0 means more stringent power
efficiency and conservation requirements and is going into effect October 2019. This software release provides the necessary
updates to meet these new specifications.
Various Fixes

rejects the printer csr.
• Device is trying to send data Home (13.13.56.127 - usa0300xmg002-ext.epn.useastgw.xerox.com) every 2

Firmware 101.xxx.089.22600 September 2019
Improved reliability after upgrade with pre-upgrade patch
Included in the zip file with the software is pre-upgrade patch 1057305v11. This patch is required when using
the smaller binary differential compression (BDC) files and fixes some issues that resulted in configuration
changes or inability to reconnect to an 802.1x network when upgrading from a 100.xxx release to a 101.xxx
release.
Follow the Installation Instructions to ensure the pre-upgrade patch is used correctly.
The pre-upgrade patch provides the following improvements.
- Required to support BDC file upgrades.
- Fixed an issue that results in postscript error messages after applying the pre-upgrade patch on some
100.xxx versions.
- Added improved version checking to ensure patch would only install on versions that required the preupgrade patch.
- Auto Upgrade Settings are retained properly.
- 802.1x authentication mode is no longer set back to default EAP-MD5. This ensures the device can
connect to the network after upgrade.
- 802.1x username is no longer missing on web UI after upgrading from 100.xxx to 101.xxx. This ensures the
device can connect to the network after upgrade.

Xerox® AltaLink® Enhancement Read Me 7
Firmware 101.xxx.059.13300 May 2019
Card Reader
This release fixes an issue reintroduced in AltaLink software versions 101.xxx.008.27400 – 101.xxx.059.12100
where a “Card Reader Detected” Pop Up message appears on the device local user interface after wake up
from sleep mode. This issue is fixed whether the card reader is plugged into the front or back USB port and
whether the card reader is directly connected to the device or is connected using a USB splitter cable.
Firmware 101.xxx.059.12100 May 2019
EIP Peripheral API updates
The EIP Peripheral API has been updated to provide more information on TWN 4 card readers attached to an
AltaLink device. The EIP Peripheral API previously communicated the card reader Vendor ID, Product ID, and
Interface Type (keyboard). The new capability also provides Serial Number, Firmware version, Interface
protocol and interface class. This information can be retrieved by Xerox Device Manager and used by Xerox
Service Manager and PLM for asset tracking of the card readers.
Refer to the latest version of EIP DDK or SDK for more information on the EIP Peripheral API.
EIP ability to request LDAP user attributes to include in user session data
Added the EIP ability to request sAMAccountName & userPrincipalName from LDAP as part of the
xrxSessionGetSessionInfo() call in the Session Web service to include in the user session data.
This method allows a client to retrieve information about the currently logged in user. It returns a block of XML
data that is defined by the SessionInfoSchema.xsd. An optional parameter can be passed in to request a list
of LDAP attributes from the MFD.
Note: Other LDAP values may become available in the future, but for now only sAMAccountName &
userPrincipalName are available.
Note: For the GetSessionInformation request to return info for sAMAccountName & userPrincipalName the
following must be true on the MFD being used:
• The EIP version must be 4.1.4+ or 3.5.7+ (EIP 3.7.X not supported)
• LDAP must be configured on the MFD
• LDAP Personalization must be completed successfully for the user logged in at the MFD Local UI
Refer to the latest version of EIP DDK or SDK for more information on the EIP Peripheral API.
Translations added for B&W Output Color setting Auto
Language Translations have been provided for the B&W Saved Jobs feature provided in a previous release
(101.xxx.009.00300). Full translations for "Auto" are now available in the Print From app.
Xerox® Lockdown Security Solution
This release introduces the Xerox® Lockdown Security Solution previously known as Xerox® Healthcare
Lockdown Solution, initially introduced with Firmware 073.xxx.197.2850 October 2017. (This release includes
English language only. Other language translations will be added in a future release.)
Note: The Xerox® Lockdown Security Solution kit part number 301K33790 can be ordered by contacting your
Xerox® account representative.
Installation of this release enables a device Administrator to install the purchasable Xerox® Lockdown Security
Solution on a device. While the Solution content is contained in this release, the feature is hidden until it is
activated by purchase of the kit and installation of a Feature Installation Key (FIK).
Xerox® AltaLink® Enhancement Read Me 8
The Xerox® Lockdown Security Solution permanently enhances certain security aspects of the Xerox®
WorkCentre® Devices by encrypting the hard drive, overwriting hard drive data immediately after use,
preventing jobs from being stored on or printed from USB devices, recording who has used the device and
how they used it and providing additional controls designed to protect specific Xerox® networked and nonnetworked devices against malicious attacks.
Refer to description in Firmware 100.xxx.107.28600 October 2017 for more details.

1. B&W saved jobs
After installing this release: in the ”Print From” app, the default ”Output Color” for saved
jobs will be “Auto,” meaning saved jobs will print as defined by their submitted color
attributes. If they were saved as a B/W image, they will print as a B/W image. If they
were saved as color images, they will print as color images. The previous default “Auto
Detect” is still available. “Auto Detect” will print jobs according to their image
composition. If color pixels are detected in the image, it will print in color. (Note: USA
