Getting to know the Synergix Digital Solution
This manual contains operating instructions for the user and the system
administrator for the XES Synergix 8825/8830/8850/8855 Digital Solution with
version 6.1 software loaded into the Controller.
Your Synergix Digital Solution is an integrated solution for electronically
scanning and then printing images for engineering or architectural use. The
Digital Solution consists of the Synergix Scan System and Control Panel for
capturing images, the Controller for processing these images, and the XES
Synergix 8825,8830, 8850, or 8855 Printer for making good quality copies of
the captured images in engineering or architectural sizes.
Table 1 below shows the various Synergix Digital Solution configurations. An
optional Online Folder is available for each of these configurations to provide
further processing of the printed output.
Table 1. Synergix Digital Solution configurations
Scanner Printer Controller Product
Code
The Synergix Digital Solution 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 Synergix Digital Solution 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.
The Synergix Digital Solution contains Dynamic IQ technology from Xerox
Engineering Systems. Dynamic IQ enables the Digital Solution to examine a
sample of the document intelligently and to make automatic image quality
adjustments that yield a good copy even from poor original documents.
Dynamic IQ also automatically detects the width and adjusts the centering of
a scanned original for most opaque documents. Translucent documents
(transparencies, clear film, etc.) in most cases will not be detected.
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.

best image quality possible. Refer to Menu, Configuration, Scanner Control to
select this feature,
NOTE: Background Suppression is disabled when scanning in color, and
MIXED is selected.
Four choices are provided:
Off This setting disables Background Suppression. It produces a
document that reproduces all the characteristics of the original
document with minimum alteration. 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 black 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

Powering On the Digital Solution
To power on the Digital Solution, you first must switch on the Scan System
and wait for 30 seconds or check that a P is displayed on the status LED in
the back of the Scan System. Then switch on the Controller, then the Printer.
The procedures for powering on the Controller and the Printer vary for the
8825/8830 Digital Solution and the 8855 Digital Solution. Follow the
instructions provided in this section for your system.
Initial power-on
When the Synergix Scan System is present, the DDS parameter must be set
to Enabled in order to enable the copy/scan functionality. If the DDS
parameter is set to Disabled, copy/scan functionality will not be enabled.
The default for this parameter is Disabled. You must ensure that it is set to
Enabled when powering on the Digital Solution for the first time. After setting
the DDS parameter, wait 30 seconds, then power the system off then on.
Once you enable this parameter, it will remain enabled (even following future
software upgrades).
For the Synergix 8825, 8830, and 8850 Digital Solution, you can set this
parameter from either the CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION screen of the
Printer Control Panel or the PRINTER SETUP/Miscellaneous page of the
Web PMT. For the Synergix 8855 Digital Solution, you can only set this
parameter from the Web PMT. Refer to the 8825/8830/8850 Controller
Setup Manual or the Web PMT Printer Manager Tool User Guide for more
information.
Switching on the Scan System
To switch on the Scanner, press the Power On/Off Switch on the back of
the Scanner to the On (I) position as shown below. Wait for 30 seconds or
