About the Printer Drivers

This section of the FreeFlow Accxes document provides you with the detailed instructions required to download and install printer drivers, set up ports, add the Wide Format printer to your client workstation (namely your personal computer) and send a test print.
You can find the driver installation files on the Driver Software or the Xerox web site at
www.xerox.com.

Getting Started

There are two options offered to you for connecting to a printer prior to submitting your job. They are:
Connecting from a Client (Windows 7, XP, Vista, 2003, 2008): This is most commonly used and therefore more familiar to most users.
Connecting through a Windows 2003 or 2008 server: This is done when your business environment is a networked, shared community. The server has all of the drivers and allows many users to connect and install the appropriate driver from that server.

Drivers

Installing Drivers Locally on a Server or Client

A Windows 2003 or 2008 server system can have all of the drivers that the workstations require installed locally on the server. Each workstation can then install the appropriate driver from the server to make remote drivers.
These instructions describe how to install the printer driver locally on a workstation or server.
To install a printer driver on a workstation from a server, see Installing Remote Drivers on a Client in this document. The printer driver must be installed on the server locally first, according to the following instructions.
Xerox® FreeFlow® Accxes® Print Server Drivers and Client Tools Software Installation Guide

About the Printer Drivers
NOTE
Deleting the Microsoft XPS Document Writer Printer could hang WF Printer Drivers and cause printing problems with all Wide Format printers.
The FreeFlow Accxes printer driver is delivered on your Driver Software CD or can be downloaded from www.xerox.com as a self-extracting zip file. Executing this program extracts the files to a default directory or to a directory of the users choice, such as c:\temp).
NOTE
You must have administrator rights to install the driver and ports.
NOTE
Changes to the Enable Advanced Printing Feature checkbox are shared between Clients and Remote Printers. Therefore, all clients and remote printers sharing the driver from that server inherit the advanced printing settings.

NOTE
The Accounting tab listed above is functional only for software version up to 6.2. Beyond 6.2 the function was replaced by an external client, such as the FreeFlow Accxes Account Management Tool.
NOTE
After the installation is complete, go to the Overview and Quick Start Help files to get started using the software.

Overview of the Account Management Tool

The AMT application is designed to:
Retrieve job accounting data from multiple printers that use FreeFlow Accxes firmware (version 6.2 or greater).
The AMT Administrator can submit an AMT command to each printer to retrieve a copy of the media usage data and scanner usage data-located in the job log file on the printers controller.
Identify the data retrieved by Printer ID, Account ID and User ID.
The AMT then sends a command to each printer to purge the original data.
CAUTION
The AMT software should be loaded on only one workstation that is password protected.
