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
8825/8830/8850/510 Series and 721P with version 10.0 AccXES
firmware loaded into the Controller.
Your XEROX WIDE FORMAT COPY SYSTEM is an integrated solution
for electronically scanning and then printing images for engineering or
architectural use. The WIDE FORMAT COPY SYSTEM consists of the
WIDE FORMAT SCAN SYSTEM and Control Panel for capturing
images, the Controller for processing these images, and XEROX WIDE
FORMAT COPY SYSTEM 8825, 8830, 8850, 510 Series, 721P or
XEROX WIDE FORMAT X2 TECH Printers for making good quality
copies of the captured images in engineering or architectural sizes.
Table 1 below shows the various WIDE FORMAT COPY SYSTEM
configurations. An optional Online Folder is available for each of these
configurations to provide further processing of the printed output.

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 Controller hard disk, and then
sent to the local Printer as soon as the Printer is available. In the SCAN
mode, documents are scanned and then stored on the Controller hard
disk for later retrieval over a network by a remote device. 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.
NOTE: The XEROX WIDE FORMAT X2 TECH and Synergix Digital X2
TECH Solution does not support copying at this time.
The XEROX 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.
A new Productivity feature introduced with version 10.0 firmware and
requires a new WIDE FORMAT SCAN SYSTEM with a new Document
Feed-in Tray. Sensors built into the Feed Tray measure the document
width without doing a prescan, which increase the document and copy
throughput thereby increasing productivity.
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
Scanner Control Panel. This Control Panel, which is mounted on top of
the Scanner, receives all power and information from the Scanner.

Background
Suppression
Background Suppression
The Background Suppression option enables you to make adjustments
for documents that contain poor contrast between the foreground image
and the background.
Four Background Suppression choices are provided:
Off This setting disables Background Suppression. All the
characteristics of the original document with minimum alteration are
reproduced on the copy. Choose this selection when:
• The lead edge of the document is very different from the rest of
the document (e.g., the lead edge contains a blac k border).
• Maps with grayscale or color content may copy best in this
mode.
• To retain more light color information such as light gray or yellow
NOTE: If Photo or Color is selected as the Original, Type, the Off
setting is automatically selected. The contrast can still be adjusted by
pressing the key(s) beneath Image Quality, Copy.
(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 Scanner automatically adjusts the image
quality parameters to obtain the bes t copy.
NOTE: All three Background Suppression settings can be adjusted
further by changing the contrast setting in the Image Quality and Copy
area.
