2 Getting to know the Wide
Format Copy System
This manual contains operating instructions for the user and the system administrator for the
Xerox Wide Format Copy System 510 Series, 721P, 6030/6050/6050A, 6204, and 6279 with
version 13.0 FreeFlow Accxes firmware loaded into the Controller.
NOTE: For the 6030/6050/6050A, 6204 and 6279 printers that want to use the FreeFlow Accxe s
firmware features, the printer also needs to be connected to a separate PUN, YKE, or
FRX, or LVX controller, referred to as the FreeFlow Accxes Print Server. The Web Printer
Management Tool software will be loaded on the print server.
Your Xerox Wide Format Copy System is an integrated solution for electronically scanning and
then printing good quality copies of the images for engineering or architectural si ze documents.
The Wide Format Copy System consists of the Wide Format Scan System and Control Panel for
capturing images, the FreeFlow Accxes Controller for processing these images, and Xerox Wide
Format Copy System Printers 510 Series, 721P, 6030/6050/6050A, 6204, or 6279.
The 6204 and 6279 printers can also be installed with a built-in scanner. See the Xerox 6204
Wide Format Solution Copy/Scan User Guide for the FreeFlow Accxes Print Server V13.0 or the
Xerox 6279 Wide Format Solution Copy/Scan User Guide for the FreeFlow A ccxe s Print Server
V13.0. These guides provide comprehensive scan instructions for their unique touch scre en user
interfaces.
The Wide Format Copy System has two modes of operation - COPY and SCAN.
In the COPY mode:
Documents are scanned, temporarily stored in memory or on the FreeFlow Accx es
controller hard drive, and then sent to the local Printer as soon as the Printer is available.
In the SCAN mode:
Scan-to-Net: Documents are scanned and then stored on the FreeFlow Accxes
Controller hard drive for later retrieval over a network by a remote device.
Scan to Remote Destination: Scanned images can be transferred to up to 16 remote
FTP or printer destinations. Scan to FTP images are not stored on the FreeFlow Accxes
Controller’s hard drive. Scan to remote printer images are stored on the FreeFlow Accxes
Controller’s hard drive. The FTP and Remote Printer features are located on the Sample
Mode screen. See the “Sample Key” section of this guide for more information.
The Wide Format Copy System allows concurrent printing, copying, and scanning to the network,
so there is no need to wait for the Printer to finish before scanning the next document.
Wide Format Copy System User Guide 7
2 Getting to know the Wide Format Copy System
The XEROX Wide Format Copy System contains Dynamic Background Suppression technology.
Dynamic Background Suppression examines a sample of the document intelligently and makes
automatic image quality adjustments that yield a good copy even from poor original documents.
The document width is automatically detected and the centering of a scanned original for most
opaque documents is adjusted. Translucent documents (transparencies, clear film, etc.) in most
cases will not be detected.
The Productivity feature was introduced with version 10.0 firmware and requires that a new WIDE
FORMat Scan SYSTEM have a new Document Feed-in Tray. Sensors built into the Feed Tray
measure the document width without doing a prescan, which increases the document and copy
throughput, thereby increasing productivity.
NOTE: Documents must be centered when using the sensors for width detection.
For documents that require additional adjustments to obtain the best copy quality, a variety of
image quality and reduction/enlargement settings are available. All of these functions are
controlled from the Scan System Control Panel. This Control Panel, which is mounted on top of
the Scan System, receives all power and information from the Scan System.
Feature Keys
Print and Copy feature keys are standard for all printers using FreeFlow Accxes 13.0 firmware,
except for the Xerox Wide Format 6030/6050 Printer. In the 13.0 firmware, the following feature

Source
The Source option allows you to select the source of the media on which the image will be
printed. To select the media source, press the key beneath the Source settings until the desired
source indicator lamp illuminates.
The Source settings are:
• Sheet – This setting tells the Printer to print from a manually inserted sheet of media.
• R4 – This setting is applicable to the Wide Format Copy System 721P, 6050, 6050A
and 6279. When R4 is selected, both the R1 and R3 indicator lamps illuminate and
the Printer then selects the media stored on Roll 4.
• R3 –When it is selected, the R3 indicator lamp illuminates and the Printer selects the
media stored on Roll 3.
• R2 – This setting tells the Printer to select the media stored on Roll 2.
• R1 – This setting tells the Printer to select the media stored on Roll 1.
For the Xerox Wide Format 6279 printer and 6279 multifunction configuration:
When 3 Tray is selected, the R3 indicator lamp illuminates and the Printer selects the
media stored in Tray 3. When 4 Tray is selected, the R1 and R3 indicator lamps
illuminate and the Printer then selects the media stored in Tray 4.
• Auto (factory default) – This setting automatically selects the roll containing the
media that best fits the size of the captured image. For most documents, the Scan
System is able to automatically detect the width of the scanned document. This
permits the Auto function to automatically select the most appropriate roll of media.
NOTE: The presence of the Sheet feature and the amount of rolls available vary by the type of
WIDE FORMAT PRINTER. If these options are not installed, they cannot be selected. To
print from a cut sheet, Sheet mode must be explicitly selected. The Auto mode cannot
select a cut sheet.
Type

(Light) This setting works best for documents on translucent or transparent media, such as
vellum (tracing paper) or film, or with medium levels of colored background on opaque media
or for documents. Such documents have a higher contrast between the foreground and
background than dark documents, but less contrast than normal documents.
(Dark) Use this setting for documents with a dark background or with medium contrast
between the foreground and background. In this mode, the background is not suppressed,
but the foreground image is improved to increase the contrast.
Auto (factory default) – The Scan System automatically adjusts the image quality parameters to
obtain the best copy.
NOTE: All three Background Suppression settings can be adjusted further by changing the
