Web PMT Overview

As part of the AccXES firmware, the Web Printer Manager Tool (Web PMT) is
accessed from your workstation using the Netscape 7.0 (or newer) or Internet
Explorer 5.5 (or newer) web browser. To access the Web PMT, you need to
enter the IP address of your printer in the URL box of your browser ("Address" in
Explorer or "Location" in Netscape) and press ENTER.

The Web PMT enables three major functions:

 Provides print job management and status tracking
 Provides control over the printer’s default settings
 Provides a method to enable job accounting for printing, copying and

scanning media usage data to be saved in the controller’s job log file.
The data is retrieved via an External Account Server, such as the Account
Management Tool (AMT).

Note that this tool does not manipulate any Network Operating System print
queues, such as UNIX lpr/lpd queues, or Novell print queues.

Security

Any user can view Web PMT pages. The printer password is required to make
any changes.

Main Menu

The Main Menu contains five selections in hypertext form allowing you to jump to
other web pages. These selections are:

TCP/IP

Navigation: PRINTER DEFAULTS > NETWORK > TCP/IP

You can use this page to view and change the TCP/IP communication
parameters of the printer’s Controller. To change settings, you will have to enter
the printer password from the Session Setup link on the Main Menu.

TCP/IP parameters on the Synergix Print Systems 8830/8825/8850/510dp are
read-only through the Web PMT and thus, can only be modified at the printer
control panel.

On the Synergix Print Systems 8855 and 721p, the TCP/IP parameters can be
modified by users with printer password. However, incorrect specification of

the TCP/IP parameters can result in the Web PMT losing all communication
with the printer.

1. DHCP enable - When this box is checked (enabled), the network interface
utilizes the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol to acquire a temporary IP
Address for the networked device from a client that is supplying DHCP
services on the network. As constantly changing (temporary) IP addressing
can cause problems for users in network communications, the default value
for this feature is "not checked" (disabled).

WARNING - If this box is checked and there is no DHCP server on the
network, the Web PMT will be completely unusable. For the Synergix
Print System 8825, 8830, 8850, and 510dp you can use the Printer
Control Panel to undo this setting. For the Synergix Print System 8855
and 721, you will need to upload a recovery file to the Controller through
the serial or parallel port.

2. RARP/BOOTP enable - When this box is checked (enabled), the network
interface utilizes the RARP and BOOTP protocols to acquire an IP Address
from the appropriate server. Since the Controller should have been assigned
a fixed IP Address by the Systems Administrator, it should not be necessary
for the Controller to have to query the network to discover its IP Address. The
default setting for this feature, therefore, is "not checked" (disabled).

WARNING - If this box is checked and there is no RARP server on the

Web Print Manager Tool User Guide Page 27

network, the Web PMT will be completely unusable. For the Synergix
Print Systems 8825, 8830, 8850 and 510dp, you can use the Printer
Control Panel to undo this setting. For the Synergix Print Systems 8855
and 721p, you will need to upload a recovery file to the Controller through
the serial or parallel port.

3. Netmask - These fields contain the value that the printer will use for its IP
sub-net mask. The format is the same as the Ethernet TCP/IP Address.

4. Ethernet TCP/IP Address - These four fields contain the IP address of the
Network Interface Card on the printer’s controller. The address is of the form
"w.x.y.z" where the range for w, x, and y is 0-255 and z is 0-254.

5. Ethernet TCP/IP Gateway - These fields contain the IP address of the device
the printer will use as the gateway or router. The format is the same as the
Ethernet TCP/IP Address.

6. For the Synergix Print Systems 8855, 721p, and Synergix Color Print System
X2 TECH, BEFORE pressing the Update Printer button, click on the indicated
hypertext link to save a TCP/IP Recovery file. If the Web PMT becomes
unusable, you can send this recovery file to the Controller through the serial
or parallel port. For the 8825/8830/8850/ 510dp Printers, you MUST make a
written record of these settings BEFORE clicking the Update Printer button.

NOTE: After modifying the IP Address, Subnet Mask, or Gateway, you should
reboot (power off, then power on) the Controller to use the new settings.

5. Merge Control Default - The Merge Control feature determines how the
pixels of intersecting lines or graphics will be shown in the printed job.
With this box unchecked (default), one line or graphic will overwrite the
other. With the Merge Control checked to 'ON', a merge color (i.e.
halftone) will be created at the intersection of the vectors (i.e . lines or
graphics).

6. Reinitialize after EOF -If print files are streamed via any port on the
system, these are treated as a single job and no reset is done between
them. However, if one uses the LPD protocol to send print files one at a
time, the effect is that the printer is reset after each job. If the "Reinitialize
after EOF" is set to be on, the AccXES firmware will reset the printing
parameters after each plot file that is received by a serial port or a parallel
port.

7. Ignore PS command – Click on this check box for HP-GL DFI to ignore
the Page Size (PS)command. This can be useful when printing certain

Rendering Page

Navigation: PRINTER DEFAULTS > PROCESSING DEFAULTS > Rendering

1. Render Mode - Click on this list box to set the Render Mode for color

printers to color or grayscale. For monochrome printers, grayscale is the
only valid option.

2. Print Quality Mode - In general, the more bi-directional passes that the

printer makes to create the image, the higher qua lity the output will be, but
the longer it will take to produce it. The FAST selection is a single pass bi-
directional printing using RACER Technology, NORMAL is 2-pass bi­directional printing, and BEST is 4-pass bi-directional printing.

3. Document Type - Click on this list box to set the Document Type to

autoselect, graphics, photo, or lines & text.

4. Contrast - Use this list box to adjust the contrast by specifying an integer

from -10 to +10. A value of "0" means that no contrast adjustment is
applied. Increasingly negative values reduce the contrast of the rendered
image, while increasingly positive values increase the contrast of the
rendered image.

5. Lightness - Specify the lightness adjustment in this list box. A value of

zero means that no lightness adjustment is applied. Increasingly negative
values reduce the lightness of the rendered image, which darkens the
image. Increasingly positive values increases the lightness of the rendered
image, which further lightens the image.

6. Raster Halftone - This parameter allows the selection of the binarization

method used on multibit raster images. The Halftone Screen option offers
faster printing than Error Diffusion, but may produce prints with a grainy
appearance. The Error Diffusion setting generally produces a smoother
print image.

7. Vector Halftone - This parameter sets the method to use when

processing halftone images. Select Area Fill for best reproduction of large
polygon fills. Select Line Optimized to accentuate fine lines, especially
those drawn in filled areas. The factory default setting is Area Fill.

8. Fineline Grayscale Rendering - Select either Contone or Black as the

parameter to specify how fine lines should be rendered when the Render
Mode is set to Grayscale. In Grayscale Render Mode, fine lines that are
drawn in a light luminance color, such as yellow, will appear very light if
this parameter is set to Contone. Setting this parameter to Black will cause
these lines to appear as black.

9. Fineline Pixel Threshold - This parameter specifies the maximum line

width that will be processed as a fine line. T he range is 1 - 25.

10. Press the Update Printer button to update the default rendering

parameters in the printer.

Introduction

For AccXES firmware versions 7.0 and greater, the AccXES Client Tool's
Accounting Tool is disabled. Instead, an External Account Server (EAS)- for
example, the AccXES Account Management Tool (AMT) - will be installed on one
computer to track the media usage of many printers. The AMT Administrator will
generate the media usage detai ls for all printed (bond, vellum, film) media and
scanned images. This is done according to the User ID and Account ID that you
specify at the scanner or when using the Document Submit Tool. This
information is stored temporarily on the Controller's hard drive. The AMT will
retrieve the information from the Controller. You can, however, see the individual
printer's present total number of stored records by looking on the Web PMT
Accounting page, in the Records Count field. If you are the AMT Administrator,
go to the AccXES Account Management Tool User Guide to learn how to install
and use the tool.

Accounting Status - This table reports status information for the following:

1. Machine Name - Displays the name of the machine that was set to uniquely
identify the AccXES Controller. The default value is derived from the AccXES
Controllers hardware network address (MAC). If you entered the printer
password in the Session Setup, then the machine name can be changed.

2. EAS Linked - Set to On when an External Account Server (EAS) has been in
contact with the controller, otherwise it is set to Off.

3. Disk Used (%) - Displays the percentage of current use of the Controller's
available memory in its accounting Job Log file. Note that the use of the
Account Management Tool to download the contents of the Job Log file will
purge this memory and reset this display.

NOTE: When allocated memory has reached its limit an "Error Accounting
Disk Full" message will be displayed in the status line of the Web PMT's
Main Page. Use the Account Management Tool to download the contents
of the Job Log file.

4. Records Limit - Displays the maximum number of accounting records
allowed to be stored in the Controller's Job Log file. This records lim it is
preserved when performing a factory default reset.

5. Records Count - Displays the current number of accounting records stored
in the Controller's Job Log file . Note that the use of the Account Management
Tool to download the contents of the Job Log file will purge the records count
and reset this display to 0. This records count is preserved when performing a
factory default reset.

NOTE: When the Records Count has reached its limit an "Error

Accounting Record Limit" message will be displayed in the status line of
the Web PMT's Main Page. Use the Account Management Tool to
download the contents of the Job Log file.

Job Accounting Database - This table reports status information for the user
and account information used by the Job Accounti ng function. The ti me fields ar e
