Introduction
System Requirements
There are several important system requirements for setting up network printing,
including:
• A working knowledge of your network operating environment
• A workstation with the appropriate operating system software installed
• The proper TCP/IP protocol settings configured for network connectivity
• Network cabling that is compliant with Ethernet specifications for the environment
in which the printer is installed
Small Networks
For small networks consisting of several network-connected devices/workstations and a
single hub, it is necessary to set up the printer with an individual IP Address and a Subnet
Mask. The Subnet Mask must match all the other local area network-connected
workstations in use. Unless a router (Gateway) is being used to gain access to the larger
wide area network, a default Gateway address is not needed.
Larger Networks
For Larger Networks consisting of many network-connected devices/workstations, with
multiple hubs and routers, it is mandatory to set up the printer with an individual IP
Address and Subnet Mask. The Subnet Mask must match the subnet that the printer is
on. The Gateway address is the router address that the printer uses to gain access to
the larger, wide area network.
NOTE
The IP address and Subnet Mask can be setup automatically using the Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This is accomplished once the network
connection is configured via DHCP. Refer to Chapter 2 in this guide for details.
Prerequisite Knowledge
The Xerox FreeFlow® Accxes® Wide Format Print Server v15.0 works with the following

Introduction
Two gigabytes or more of Random Access Memory (RAM) delivers high performance
when Ripping even the largest files, and the FreeFlow Accxes system architecture ensures
full concurrency for all operations. This means it can RIP (process) files, manage copy
and print queues, accept scanner input, and run all other system operations
simultaneously, without any loss of system performance. And it performs better than
any other image processing print server.
