Introduction

Objectives

The purpose of this guide is to enable the user of the AccXES Client Tools (ACT) to do the following:

Ÿ To connect to an AccXES supported scanner and an AccXES supported

printer using the Device Manager Tool.

Ÿ To use the Document Retrieve Tool to retrieve and save scanned

documents.

Ÿ To create, print, and save document sets using the Document Submit

Tool.

Ÿ To view and cancel a submitted print job, using the Printer Queue Tool. Ÿ To assign user and account identifiers to print jobs and scanned

documents so that media usage will be logged in the Controller. For AccXES Firmware version 7.0 and greater, this logged data will get retrieved and processed by the AccXES Account Management Tool (AMT), or some other External Accounting Server.

Ÿ To select color options for printing color images.

Content of User Guide

Basic system requirements are included in this user guide, as well as instructions on how to install and uninstall the software.

A Quick Start is presented as an easy way to begin using the main AccXES Client Tools’ features and to practice the basic navigational steps of moving in and out of the various tool tab dialogs. Each Tool is then explained in detail and a practical “Using the …Tool” is present in each tool’s separate section of this guide.

The screen shots in this document are for Windows XP, with the Display settings of Windows Classic. The appearance of the software screens will vary, depending on the operating system that you are using.

Summary tables of the various Document Submit and Document Retrieve toolbar and menu choices are provided. Help screens are available as another resource. To further assist the user, an appendix is provided which lists default settings and navigational paths to get to the AccXES Client Tools features.

NOTE: On the Solaris or Mac OS X platform, users can choose the “Default Web Browser” for viewing the AccXES Client Tools’ Help files simultaneously while using the ACT tools. This is instead of using the “Internal Help Viewer”. Select “Help” in the AccXES Client Tool’s toolbar menu, then choose the Default Web Browser. This choice will be remembered across user sessions.

AccXES Client Tools User Guide 5

AccXES Client Tools User Guide 6

Basic Requirements

An AccXES Controller with v 4.0 or higher controller firmware, an AccXES supported printer and an AccXES supported scanner (for scan to net features). A Synergix Scan System and Color Scan-to-Net Feature Key are required for Scanning-to-Net in color. A 9GB or larger controller’s hard drive is highly recommended for color scanning because scanning large color documents results in large files that quickly consume hard drive space. This can create a scanner error message requiring you to retrieve the Scan Directory’s scanned images to free up enough memory to scan more colored images.

Ÿ AccXES Client Tools software. Ÿ A workstation running Windows 2000/XP, NT 4.0 (minimum service pack 3

and 16 bit color), or RedHat Linux with an Intel Pentium 90 Mhz or greater (233 Mhz is recommended), or Mac OS X 10.2.x with Apple G3/G4/G5, or a Sun Sparc workstation running Solaris v2.6, 2.7, or 2.8.

NOTE: The AccXES Client Tools software does not function over a Novell network.

Ÿ Other System Requirements:

- 64 MB of memory

- 30 MB available disk space

- CD-ROM drive (not required for installing from the XES web site)

- Mouse or other pointing device

- Screen resolution: 800x600 or higher

Ÿ Appropriate protocols and ports enabled on both the printer and

workstation, with a connection established through the network or directly between the printer and your workstation.

NOTE: The AccXES printers support the following types of files: CalComp, Cals1, Cals2, NIRS , HPGL, HPGL/2, CGM, TIFF, JPEG, PDF (optional), PostScript (optional). These file types are also listed on the Setup Tab > File Format section of individual document and default document options.

Overview

The AccXES Client Tools (ACT) application runs on your PC or Solaris workstation. The tools are used to scan and print document sets using an AccXES supported printer and scanner. The tools include Document Submit, the Printer Queue, Document Retrieve, and the Device Manager. The Accounting Tab functionality is available only if the printer with which the AccXES Client Tools are interacting is using an AccXES firmware version less than 7.0. See the NOTES below.

All of the tools are installed at the same time, using the Install Anywhere software. The individual tools can be accessed after installation by selecting one of the individual tabs, which are shown here.

On each tab page, the user can select toolbar buttons, menus, and dialog screen options to customize how documents should be submitted to and retrieved from the printer. The printer queue can be viewed through the Printer Queue Tab.

NOTES: For AccXES firmware version 7.0 and greater, the AccXES Account

Management Tool (AMT) will be keeping track of multiple printers' scanned and printed media usage. The AMT is loaded on only one computer.

Throughout the rest of this user guide, the AccXES Account Management Tool will be listed as the example of an External Accounting Server.

For AccXES firmware versions before 7.0 the media usage can be viewed on the Accounting Tab.

If you want to access only some of the tools, you can go to the View menu and select only which tabs you want to see on your screen. The view chosen will impact the options available in the Device Manager Tab. The View selected, and many other settings that the user selects, will remain from session to session until changed. Examples are the device setup settings on

the Device Manager Tab, Document Retrieve preferences, and Accounting tab preferences.

NOTE: Many of the AccXES Client Tool (ACT) options can also be chosen in the Web PMT. Examples are page composition, plot nesting, and stamps or labels. Whatever ACT option choices that you make will override the Web PMT option selections if the two are different.

The Device Manager Tab lists all of the devices that are available to the user for communicating from the local PC to the AccXES compliant scanner and printer. The acceptable devices for the Document Submit Tool are the network, serial ports, parallel ports, and Print to File. The Document Retrieve Tool, the Printer Queue and Accounting use the network. The user can add, modify, or remove devices from the list. The Device Manager is where the user indicates which of the listed devices are to be used as the default printer and scanner.

The Document Retrieve Tab provides the user with options for previewing and retrieving scanned images (TIF, CALS, JPEG, or PDF files) from the AccXES controller, adding them to a document set, and saving them on the user’s file system. If you wish to only use the Document Retrieve Tool, on the View menu select Document Retrieve.

NOTE: The preview file, while it is still in the scanner’s memory, is a JPG file. When it is saved to your file system, it becomes a PJPG file.

The Document Submit Tab is where the user creates a document set by adding document files to the Document Submit window. The user may edit default document options, the job options associated with the entire set, or an individual document’s printing options. The document set is sent to the printer from the Document Submit window. Document sets can be saved as a single file. If you wish to only use the Document Submit Tool, on the View menu select Document Submit.

AccXES Client Tools User Guide 7

AccXES Client Tools User Guide 8

The Printer Queue Tab provides the means for you to view the submitted job’s status in the printer queue, change a job priority, and cancel a print job. Mismatched jobs are indicated in red in the printer queue and are resolved according to what options you select in the AccXES Client Tools’ Job Options. If you wish to only use the Printer Queue Tool, on the View menu select Printer Queue.

The Accounting Tab is available only if the printer with which the AccXES Client Tools is interacting is using an AccXES firmware version less than 7.0.

For AccXES firmware versions 7.0 and greater, the Accounting Tab will be disabled. The AccXES Account Management Tool will be keeping track of multiple printers' media usage, according to the User ID and Account ID that the user specifies at the scanner and on the Document Submit Tool.

If you are accessing a printer with an AccXES firmware version less than 7.0, then the Accounting Tab is used to query the AccXES controller's hard drive for media usage data from all scanned and printed jobs. The results can be displayed in the AccXES Client Tools Accounting window and saved to your file system. To assign the media usage to specific accounts, use the account numbers that were created on the Web PMT, printer user interface, or scanner.

Sections of the Device Manager Tab

The Device Manager Tab contains the following areas (from top to bottom):

Ÿ Toolbar buttons - Commands include Create a New Device, Edit a

Selected Device, Accept the Device Parameters, Cancel the Current Activity, Delete a Selected Device, Get Printer ID, Update Printer ID of all Network Devices, Display Retry Settings, and Help.

Ÿ Available Devices Section - The Available Devices List displays the

available printers and scanners. The list automatically includes printers that can be connected to local ports (identified by a local port label such as LPT1) and Print To File. The network printers and scanners are listed after the local printers. They can be added, edited, or deleted.

The Document Submit, Printer Queue, and Accounting Tabs use the default printer when communicating with a printer.

The Accounting Tab and the Printer Queue Tab are not capable of twoway communication with the printer when a parallel port printer, or Print To File have been selected.

The Document Retrieve Tab us es the selected default scanner for its two-way communication with a network scanner.

Ÿ The Network section - This section displays the properties of the

selected device. The parameters displayed depend on the device connection type (parallel, serial or network). For a parallel or serial port printer, the parameters can not be changed. For a network device, the Device Name and Address parameters, as well as the “AccXES to Client Communications” checkbox may be edited. When editing or creating a network device, you can uncheck the “AccXES to Client Communications” checkbox if the device does not support bi-directional communication, such as when connecting to an external print server. If this checkbox is unchecked, then the Device Manager Tool will not attempt to obtain the printer identification information from the network device. Instead, it will list the same accounting as the last most recently updated network device. When this checkbox is unchecked, you will not be able to use

the print queue or the accounting tool (the toolbar buttons become disabled).

For Print to File, go to the Print to File section below.

Ÿ The Printer Identification section (for AccXES Client Tools version

7.0 and greater). This feature is needed to determine which AccXES firmware version the printer is using. If it is 7.0 and greater, then the Accounting Tab will be disabled and the AccXES Account Management Tool will be used to provide the accounting features. If the AccXES firmware version is before 7.0, then the AccXES Client Tools Accounting features can be still used.

When AccXES Client Tools is first installed, the software will try to update the Printer Identification information for all of the network devices listed on the Device Manager Tab.

The serial port (COM1, COM2) devices are not updated when the AccXES Client Tools is installed; therefore the Printer Model and Printer Version values will show as “UNKNOWN”. Before using a serial port device as a default printer, the user will want to update the printer identification information by pressing the Get Printer ID toolbar button.

When a device that does not support bi-directional communication (LPT1, LPT2, or Print to File) is selected, the printer identification information of the last updated bi-directional device will show in the printer identification section.

If a new device is added to the Device Name list, the software will connect to the printer, read what the printer identification is, and put it into this Printer Identification section. A failed message will appear if the software fails to connect to the printer.

Ÿ The Device Status line (at the bottom of the screen) - displays the

command's action status as a result of pressing the Toolbar buttons. You can press the Cancel button on this line to cancel the action.

See the preceding table, or Appendix 5 for details.

Please note that the scanner will automatically remove scanned documents after a period not exceeding 24 hours (the actual setting is user-defined at the scanner user interface). You must retrieve the scanned documents before they are removed.

Setting Retrieval Options

There are some retrieval features that you need to customize in the “Retrieval Options” section of the Document Retrieve Page before you start retrieving scanned images. Your choices will be saved for future AccXES Client Tools sessions.

RETRIEVAL OPTIONS

In the “Retrieval Options” section of the Document Retrieve Page, adjust the Scan Directory, File Prefix, and Retrieval fields.

Scan Directory – In this text field, enter the Scan Directory from which you will be retrieving scanned documents. This should be the same directory identifier that you entered into the scanner before you scanned documents.

For AccXES fi rmware versions 7.0 or greater, the Scan Directory name can have 16 digit alphanumeric characters, including an underscore (_), period (.), and dash (-). The period cannot be used for the first character.

For AccXES firmware versions before 7.0, the Scan Directory is an account number and sub-account number.

NOTES:

Ÿ The Scan Directory field's default value is 0.1 in the Document Retrieve

Tool. However, the default value at the scanner user interface is images when using AccXES Revision 7.0 or higher. When scanning and retrieving images to the default scan directory, be sure that these two values match. Either change the directory name at the scanner to 0.1 or change it in the Document Retrieve tool to images. For AccXES Revisions 6.1 or lower, the default value at both the scanner user interface and in the Document Retrieve Tool are 0.1.

Ÿ If you are accessing a printer that is using an AccXES Firmware version

of 7.0 or greater, and then change your connection on the Device Manager Tab to a printer that has a AccXES firmware version less than 7.0, then the software will attempt to convert the Scan Directory value to an account and sub -account number. If the attempt fails, a warning message will appear. You would then need to type in the account number into the Scan Directory field. The software will also attempt to convert the account and sub-account numbers to a Scan Directory value if you change from a printer using a less than 7.0 AccXES firmware version to a printer using a

7.0 or greater AccXES firmware version.

File Prefix – Type in the file prefix that you want in your retrieved file names (default is MYSCAN).

Retrieval Directory – Select where on your file system that you want the files to be stored when they are retrieved. Use the Browse button to locate the directory’s path.

RETRIEVAL SETUP DIALOG

Click on this toolbar button to access the Retrieval Setup dialog screen. It can also be accessed by selecting Retrieve > Retrieval Setup on the toolbar menu. Each feature is described below.

Polling Interval – Choose the number of seconds that you want to lapse in between each AutoPoll, where the scanned images are automatically retrieved from the scanner to the Document Retrieve window. The range is from 15 to 3600 seconds.

Auto Preview - Select this check box to enable the automatic previewing of the scanned images as they are being retrieved.

NOTE: “Create Preview” also needs to be enabled on the scanner for Auto Preview to work.

Clear list and keep on exit - Select this check box to clear the Retrieve window of listed files when you exit from the AccXES Client Tools software. At the same time those retrieved files will be saved on your file system to the Directory and folder which you previously specified in the Retrieval Directory field of the Document Retrieve page. If this feature is not selected, the list of retrieved files will still be in the Retrieved window when you reopen the AccXES Client Tools application.

JPEG retrieved file extension - Select the file extension that will be used when naming JPEG files that are retrieved from the scanner. Valid extensions are .JFI, .JFIF, .JPE, .JPEG, .JPG. The default is JPG.

NOTE: When the preview file is retrieved to the user’s file system, the file extension will be changed from “.JPG” to “.PJPG”, for example:

XXX_2000704_0001.PJPG. This will differentiate the new JPEG image file from the JPEG preview file and also allow the user the ability to use the common “.JPG” extension for the main image file.

Include date in filename - Click on this check box to have the current date and an index number appended to the File Prefix name. Otherwise, only an index number will be appended to the File Prefix. The following is an example of a retrieved file name (image_001) that contains MYSCAN as the file prefix and has the April 25, 2000 date in it. It will be saved to the C directory in the “ACT Images” folder. You can change a file name by right clicking on it in the Retrieved window, then selecting Rename.

Using the Document Submit Tool

Creating a Set of Documents to Print as One Print Job

Ÿ Check the default settings that will get applied to each document

that you add to the Documents window by selecting this toolbar button. Change any settings on the Media, Setup, Transform, Composition, Rendering, Labels, and Stamps tabs. (The Label and Stamp feature must first be enabled on the Job Options Labels and Stamps tabs.) These default settings will be applied to each document that you add to the Documents window. An X will appear in the Default column, next to the file name, which indicates that the default settings have been applied to that document. All of these tabs are explained in detail in the “Default Document Print Options ” section of this user guide.

NOTE: If you want to change the options of individual documents, double click on the file name to go to the Edit Document Print Options tabs. Any changes that you make will be applied only to the document that you selected.

Ÿ Create a set of documents by doing any of the following:

- Drag & drop a file from your file system, such as from Windows Explorer, to the Documents window on the Document Submit Tab.

- Use this Add Document toolbar button to create a list of documents that you want to print as a single print job. In the “Add Document” window, select the directory and then a file name that you want to add to the set of documents. To select multiple documents, hold down your keyboard CTL or Shift key while making your selections in the order they appear in the window. Click the Add button. The document will be added to the Document Submit window. Repeat until all documents have been added. Click the Done button.

NOTE: Configure Viewer dialog: Select Edit > Configure Viewer. Enter the path, and any optional parameters required for your viewer executable (external to ACT). The viewer lets you view files that are listed on the DST.

Launch Viewer: Select a document listed on the Document Submit Tab. To view it, select Edit > Launch Viewer.

To insert a document into a list of documents, select where in the list you want to insert the document. Select the Insert Document toolbar button. Select the directory and a file name. To select multiple documents, hold down your keyboard CTL or Shift key while making your selections in the order they appear in the window. Click the Insert button. The document(s) will be added to the Document Submit window. Click the Done button.

- Open a saved set of documents file. You can add or delete documents to modify a saved set. To open a saved set of documents, select File > Open. In the “Open Document Set ” window, select the file name and click the Open button. The document file names that were saved as the set will appear in the Document Submit window.

NOTE: If you deleted a file on your file system that was also saved in a document set, then that file name will still appear in the Document Submit window the next time you open the set. The title of the deleted document will be highlighted and a message will appear letting you know that the file could not be found. Highlight the file name, right click, and select Delete to take it out of the list of files for this Document Set.

- Transfer a scanned image from the Document Retrieve tab’s Retrieved window to the Document Submit window. This is done by selecting (highlighting) the file names in the Retrieved window. Select Image > Merge Image . If you are transferring all of the retrieved files select Image > Merge All.

Ÿ Go to the Job section at the bottom of the Document Submit screen.

Type in the name of your job. Indicat e the number of copies that you want printed and the job priority. The defaults are priority 5 and one copy. These same selections are on the Job Options Setup tab.

- The AccXES compliant printers print documents face up; each document that is sent to the printer will go on top of the previous one. If you want the printed documents to result in the same order as they are listed on the Document Submit screen, then select the Reverse Print Order button.

- If you are going to print multiple copies, then make a Collate selection from the pull down menu. When “None” is selected, the first document will be printed with the desired number of copies, followed by the copies for the second document, etc. When “Forward” or “Reverse” are selected, the documents in the print job will be printed in collated sets for the desired number of copies. For collation of single page documents it is recommended you enable Reverse Print Order and use “Reverse” collation. This will provide the fastest results. Otherwise, for multiple page documents, use the standard print order (unchecked Reverse Print Order) and select “Reverse” collation. This collate option can also be chosen on the Job Options Finishing tab. See Appendix 3 for a list of the various Collate and Reverse Print Option selection combinations that can be made and the printed results of doing so.

User ID and Account ID Values If the device that you are connected to has AccXES firmware 7.0 or greater, then both a User ID and Account ID need to be indicated. Put in the values assigned to you by the System Administrator on the AccXES Account Management Tool. If the device that you are connected to has AccXES firmware less that 7.0, then the Document Submit screen will show just the Account ID field, where you should enter your account and sub-account number. The account number is converted to the Account ID and the sub-account number is converted to the User ID for versions 7.0 and greater.

firmware less than the 7.0 version. The conversion process will also be attempted by the Document Submit Tool when a user opens a document set that was previously saved in an AccXES firmware version that is different than the currently selected printer's version.

Media/Color Options – for Default Document Set tings

Navigational Paths: Default Options: Go to Document Submit Tab> Edit Default Options Button> Media Tab Single Document Options: Go to Document Submit Tab> double click a document title> Media Tab

The Media Tab is where you choose what media size, media type, color, and media source should be used for your documents that will print out as separate documents, or on one media using plot nesting.

Media Size – Choose the media size appropriate for your print job. The ANY media selection enables the printer to select the best media size based on the size of the image and the media installed in the printer. When a specific paper size is selected, then “Scaled to fit” is added as an option in the Scaling drop down menu, on the Transformation Tab.

NOTE: Also be sure that your selected media size is loaded in the printer. Media Type – Click on this list box to select the media type. The choices

depend upon the device selected on the Device Manager Tab. Selecting Any allows the printer to use any media type when printing this document. The default setting is Bond for monoc hrome printers and Any for color printers.

NOTE: AccXES firmware does not fold vellum or film media. If they are specified as your media type on the Document Set up Tab, and if a folder is going to be used for the print job, then a warning message will appear when you try to send the print job to the printer.

Media Source – Select the printer’s drawer location of the media that you want used for your print job. If you select “Automatic Selection”, the printer will select the widest roll installed in the printer to print the desired media size, rotating the image if needed. If you select a specific size roll, the Media Type and Media Size fields on this screen will be disabled.

Color Section (only for color inkjet printers)

To specify ink limit and/or gamma settings for document or default options, a specific media type that supports color must first be selected. Additionally, these settings for document or default options cannot be specified unless they have been enabled on the job options, Color Tab.

Ÿ Select the Override Job Settings box if you want to override the job color

settings for your default, or individual document options.

Ÿ Make Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black color ink selections to set up the

ink limit and output gamma that will be applied to the image.

Ink Limit is used to change the maximum amount of ink used in printing. Valid values for Ink Limit are 1% to 100%.

Gamma is used to adjust the entire color curve without moving the end points of the curve. This adjusts the mid tones (higher gamma produces darker mid tones), with minimal effect on shadows and highlights. Valid values for Output Gamma are 0.5 to 2.2

Setup Options – for Default Document Set tings

Description – Any informat ion that you type into the description field will show in the Options column of the Document Submit screen.

Beginning with ACT version 8.0, the Media section from this page has been moved to the new Media Tab.

File Format - Use the down arrow to display and select your file type. The choices are Automatic Detection, CalComp, Cals1, Cals2, NIRS , HPGL, HPGL/2, CGM, TIFF, JPEG, PDF (optional), PostScript (optional). Choosing Automatic Detection allows the printer to determine the file format. If you have another file type, then you will need to convert it to one of the allowed formats before it will print. When CalComp, HPGL, or HPGL/2 are chosen, an additional tab page of option choices is available to you.

PostScript Options

PDF Optimization - In the file format drop down list, first select the PDF file

type. This feature is selected by default to control some "behind the scenes" processing inside the PostScript rendering path. If you have problems printing a PDF file, unselect this feature to see if it fixes the issue.

CIE Color - In the file format drop down list, first select the PostScript file type. If a color printer is attached, selecting this feature will produce vibrant colors for Auto or Graphic document types . For Lines and Text document types, the colors will look more saturated (bold). For Photo document types, the colors will look truer to the original photograph. This feature works by converting incoming color information to CIE color, then back to CMYK or Gray through a Color Rendering dictionary.

Halftone Method (for Color Printers only) - In the file format drop down list, first select the PostScript file type.

Halftone Screen renders images with a standard printing press appearance. This is the factory default setting. Error Diffusion renders images with more of a continuous tone (photographic appearance). Note that error diffused images, which are computationally intensive, take considerably longer to process.

Update Defaults - Select this button to save the current document settings (from all of the Edit Default Document Print Option tabs or from all of the Edit Document Print Options tabs) to be the system defaults. System default values can be created for three different types of default printers: color, monochrome, or unknown. These values will be used whenever the Reset button is pressed on any of the Document tabs or whenever a new document set is created.

Rotation – The rotation menu allows you to specify the image rotation in 90 degree increments. The image is rotated counter-clockwise.

Auto Rotate – If you select the Auto Rotate box, the printer will choose the best rotation for the image for the allocated media space. The rotation menu will be disabled and fixed rotation is ignored if you select Auto Rotate.

Mirror: X, Y – The mirror X option allows the image to be mirrored around the long edge axis of a standard sheet, or around the axis parallel to the feed direction of a roll. The mirror Y option allows the image to be mirrored around the short edge axis of a standard sheet, or around the axis perpendicular to the feed direction of a roll.

Line Width: - Select the Line Scale Mode box to scale the line (pen) widths along with the rest of the drawing.

Justification Options:

X, Y Position – Select the X,Y positions that will place the image where

you want it located within its allocated space on the media. The default is that X and Y are centered, which will put the image in the center of the allocated space.

Transformation Options:

Scaling – Specify the method of scaling as “Disabled”, “Fixed”, or “Scale

to Fit”. The Scale to Fit option shows only when a specific media size or source (not the “ANY” choices) is selected on the Setup Tab. Scale to Fit scales the image so that it will fit exactly on the media. When Disabled is selected, the image is printed using the media size selected on the Setup Tab. When Fixed is selected, a percentage needs to be entered to

NOTE: For documents that will print out separately, the allocated space is the whole media on which the documents get printed. If the plot nesting or page composition feature is used, then the allocated space is the amount of space on the media that is being allocated for the printing of the selected document.

Units – If you select absolute, put in the number of inches or millimeters that the printer should use in placing the image within the allocated space.

Composition Options – for Default Document Settings

The document Composition Tab lets you specify how the document (called a “constituent page”) will be placed on the media (called the “Canvas ”) during page composition.

This tab is only enabled when page composition is enabled on the Job Options > Composition page, as follows.

Ÿ Select the Job Options toolbar button. Ÿ Select the Composition tab. Ÿ Set Plot Nesting to Off. Ÿ In the Page Composition section, select the Overlay Images box. Ÿ Click OK.

On the Job Options > Composition page, if you select Auto Compose, no changes will be made on this “Edit default …Composition” page, but the media size, rotation, and X,Y position settings will be automatically adjusted on all of the documents listed in the Document Submit window. If you select Scale to Fit on the Job Options > Composition page, your individual documents will automatically have Scale to Fit also selected on the doc ument Composition page. You can check on these changes by double clicking on a document title, then select the Composition tab to view the changes.

NOTE: If you add documents to your set after you have selected Page Composition features for the existing documents, you will need to apply the page composition features to the added documents.

If you did not select Auto Compose or Scale to Fit on the Job Options > Composition page, then you can make the following selections for the documents within your document set. If you make the changes on the “Edit default….” set of tabs, then your changes will apply to all documents in the Document Submit window that are using the default settings, and to all documents that you add that will use the default settings.

NOTE: If the selections that you make require more space than the overall media size, and Scale to Fit is not selected, then some of the images will be cropped to fit them on the media.

Media Size – Select the media size needed to be allocated on the Canvas for the individual document to get printed. If you chose Auto Compose on the Job

AccXES Client Tools User Guide 51

Options > Composition page, then this size will be automatically selected for you.

Rotation – If you want the constituent page to be rotated within its allocated space on the media, indicate for it to be rotated 90, 180, or 270 degrees. If you chose Auto Compose on the Job Options > Composition page, then the rotation will be automatically selected for you.

AccXES Client Tools User Guide 52

Scale to Fit – Make this selection for the printer to scale the constituent page to fit on the allocated space. For roll media, the image is scaled so that the width fits the media and the length is then cut to fit. For paper sheets, the image is scaled to use as much of the media as possible without clipping or changing the image. If you chose Auto Compose on the Job Options > Composition page, then scale to fit will be automatically selected for you.

X, Y Positions – Make your X, Y selections to specify where on the Canvas you want the selected Constituent Page to be located.

Units - Select if inches or mm are the units to be used when positioning the documents on the media.

autoselect, graphics, photo, or lines & text. 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,

AccXES Client Tools User Guide 53

AccXES Client Tools User Guide 54

especially those drawn in filled areas. The factory default setting is Area Fill.

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.

Minimum Line Width (pixels) – Use this setting to improve visibility of fine lines. Depending on your printers resolution, lines that are only a few pixels wide may appear light and/or be difficult to see. This setting allows you to improve visiblility by setting the minimum width of drawn lines anywhere from 1 (the default) to 10 pixels. Lines made wider may no longer be considered fine for the Fineline Pixel Thresh old feature. This setting will have no impact if the data being rendered is in raster format .

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.

Fineline Pixel Threshold - This parameter specifies the maximum line width that will be processed as a fine line. The range is 1 - 25.

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.

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.

Color

This section is disabled if the default printer is monochrome.

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.

Print Quality Mode - In general, the more bi-directional passes that the printer makes to create the image, the higher quality 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 bi-directional printing, and BEST is 4-pass bi- directional printing.

Finishing Options - for Print Jobs

Sample Finishing Tab with Selected Options

Media Mismatch – A media mismatch occurs when the documents that you

send to the printer cannot print because the proper media size and type are not installed in the printer. This media mismatch pull down menu allows you to specify how media mismatches should be handled. The default is “Scale to Fit”. The choices are:

Scale to Fit -scale the image to the closest matching media size of the same type

Block Printing - stop printing until the correct media is installed Substitute Media - substitute the media type with another (not available

for color media) You can resolve the mismatch by selecting the file name of the

mismatched file in the Printer Queue, then select the Cancel button. You can also go to the Web PMT print queue, on the main page, to select the mismatched file. This will allow you to view a window that states how to resolve the mismatch before the job can print .

NOTE: If media mismatch is enabled on the printer, the AccXES Client Tools mismatch choices will override the printer’s mismatch options. However, the printer mismatch feature needs to be enabled if you

want any of your mismatched print jobs to go to the mismatch queue, which will allow the other print jobs to continue printing. To enable the printer mismatch queue on the Web PMT, select Printer Defaults > Processing Defaults > Media > Mismatch Queuing (select the “Enabled” box).

Reverse Print Order - This check box allows documents in the Document Submit window to be sent to the printer in the reverse order that they are listed. This “Print Reverse Order” option is also available at the bottom of the Document Submit tab.

Banner – Selecting this box enables banner pages for the job. A banner page is an informational page that prints as the first page of a print job. The banner page will contain the internally generated job ID, as well as all other relevant, available information such as the job’s print time and date, the job’s size in bytes, the job’s data format, and the job’s input port.

Collate - This pull down menu enables electronic collation on the printer. When “Forward” or “Reverse” are selected, the documents in the print job will be printed in collated sets for the desired number of copies. When set to “None”, the first document will be printed with the desired number of copies, followed by the copies for the second document, etc. For collation of single page documents it is recommended you enable Reverse Print Order and use “Reverse” collation. This collate option can also be chosen on the Document Submit Tab.

NOTE: See Appendix 4 for the results of printing PostScript Files with settings for collation and finishing options.

Folder Options let you specify whether you want your prints folded, and which folding method to use when folding is requested. (Folding selections are only for monochrome printers with an attached folder.)

NOTE: To avoid paper jams, use only bond media with the AccXES folder. AccXES firmware does not fold vellum or film media. If they are specified as your media type on the Document Set up Tab, and if a folder is going to be used for the print job, then a warning message will appear when you try to send the print job to the printer.

Folder Type – Select the type of folder that is connected to the printer which you have selected on the Device Manager Tool. If it is not listed, do the following to add that type of folder to the Folder Type list.

Ÿ Select Add Folder. Ÿ On the “Select a Finisher” screen, locate the .FIN file for your folder type.

The .FIN file is located where your ACT software is installed (e.g. Program Files/AccXES/ACT 10.0/etc/finisher/Name of finisher you want to install.) Click OK. The folder will be added to the Folder Type list.

NOTE: Go to Appendix 1 if you need to know how to create a FIN file for your folder.

The appropriate folder methods for that type will be listed in the Folder Method drop down menu. The last folder that has been added by the user will remain in this Folder Type menu between sessions of using the AccXES Client Tools. Folder Method - Click on the down arrow to display the list of folding options available to you with the type of folder that is connected to your printer. The default is whatever is set on the Web PMT. The selection is limited to Folder Bypass when the folder equipment is not installed. A brief description of the finisher program is given at the bottom of the Finishing tab.

Intelligent Title Block - (If you are accessing a printer that is using an AccXES Firmware version of 9.0 or greater.)

For folding documents with title blocks in standard corners: Check the Intelligent Title Block box to adjust the location of the title block so that it is visible once the document is folded.

For folding documents with title blocks that are not in an expected standard corner: Leave the Intelligent Title Block box unchecked.

The following check boxes indicate additional folder features that may be available with your folder.

Cross Fold – The printed media will be folded in half at the end of the folding process.

Margin – A margin will be left on one edge of the folded document (such as, to punch holes in it to fit the printout into a notebook without punching holes through the entire document).

Punch – Holes will be punched in the folded printout. Tab/Reinforcing – A reinforcing strip will be added to an edge of the

folded document.

Sort Bin - Select which bin the folder should use. Title Block - Select where the title blocks are located on your documents

so that they will be on the top after the job is folded.

Composition Options - for Print Jobs

You can combine multiple documents onto one piece of media, using either plot nesting or page composition options. The Page Composition options made on this tab are for the overall media (called the “Canvas ”) on which the individual images or documents (called “Constituent Pages”) will be printed.

NOTE: Choosing Auto Compose will automatically change the options of the individual documents that will print out together on the single media. To manually change the individual document options, double click on each document title in the Document Submit window, then go to the Composition tab.

Plot nesting – The “Off” setting will cause the printer to print out your documents on individual pages. If you chose “Single Job”, the Controller will automatically nest (group) your submitted documents, in a row, onto a single media. Selecting “Default” will use the printer’s plot nesting default. You must select “Off” in order to enable the page composition options on this page, and the page composition options on the individual document’s Composition page.

Single Page Job - With this feature, the printer will attempt to sequentially print adjacent pages in a job that are the same width to produce a single long copy for the job. Setting the feature to one of the roll sizes will override each page's media selection, ensuring that the job will successfully print on a single page. If a page's media width or type differs from the previous page, or if the maximum printer length has been reached, the printer will cut the job between pages. Setting the feature to “On” means that normal AccXES processing will be used to select media. The default for this feature is “Off”. This feature can be used with Plot Nesting to produce a matrix of images on a single sheet of media.

Page Composition – You can specify the placement of images on the media using the page composition option.

Overlay Images - Select the Overlay Images box to overlay your images on top of each other. The media size, media type, and media source need to be specified.

NOTE: The Overlay Images box needs to be selected on this Job Options Composition Tab to enable individual document, or default document options, on their Composition Tab.

Auto Compose - Select the Auto Compose box to access the predefined Layout options. As you select a layout (2 UP, 4 UP, 8 UP), a sample layout will be shown next to the selection to illustrate how your submitted documents will be arranged on the media. The page composition options will also be automatically adjusted for the documents that you have listed in the Document Submit window. To check the changes, double click on each title and go to the Composition tab to view what has changed.

Scale to Fit - Select the Scale to Fit box to have the size of each constituent page adjusted to fit its entire allocated space on the Canvas . This also causes the Scale to Fit box to be selected on the individual documents’ Composition tab.

NOTE: Auto Compose and Scale to Fit need to be selected when you add more documents to an open set to which you have already applied these options. The Auto Compose checkbox will be unselected upon any entry to

the Job Print Options Dialog.

Accounting Tool *

(The Accounting Tool is only enabled for AccXES Firmware Versions Less

Than 7.0) Look in the Printer Identification section of the Device Manager Tab to locate

the Printer (AccXES Firmware) Version number of your selected device. For AccXES firmware version 7.0 and greater, the Accounting Tab cannot be accessed. Instead, the AccXES Account Management Tool will be tracking the media usage details for multiple printers. See the Account Management Tool Administrator’s Guide for Details.

The information in this “Accounting Tool” section is only for use with AccXES firmware less than 7.0.

The Accounting Tool page is where you can query the AccXES controller for printer and scanner media usage data. The Accounting Mode needs to be set to “Enabled” or “Optional”, on both the sc anner and printer, for you to keep track of media usage by specific account numbers. Otherwise all media usage will be assigned to the default 0.1 system account. The controller’s accounting information is ac cessed and displayed in the accounting report window after you select the “Query…” toolbar button. Each row in the accounting window will be the media usage for one account and sub-account number. It is listed in square feet or square decimeters by the amount of actual printed media type (bond, vellum or film) or scanned area used. The queried data can be printed in a report.

Accounting Options

PASSWORD – If a password is used at the printer or the scanner, type in the

same password into the password field. A password is needed when accessing accounting information for multiple sub-accounts, or if the subaccount number is 0.

ACCOUNT ID – Type in the account.sub-account number for which you want to retrieve usage data from the printer and the scanner. These account numbers should be the same as were assigned to you by the system administrator and are written as a decimal. The account number can be from 0 to 999999 and is written before the decimal point. The sub-account number can be from 0 to 9999 and is after the decimal point. For example, 2.3 means account number 2 and sub-account 3. Zero is saved for the system account.

NOTE: The account numbers that you query from the Account tab’s Account ID field, will only access data that has accumulated from specific account numbers that you created on the scanner or printer. You need to assign these same account numbers on the scanner, Web PMT or printer user interface, and on your Document Submit Job Options screen for your media usage to go those accounts. If you do not enter in an account number on the scanner, then the media usage data will get assigned to the default system account of 0.1. To assign an account number for when you print a job, go to the Document Submit tab > Job Options toolbar button > Setup tab > Account ID field.

NOTE: For single page plots, choose Reverse Collate and Reverse Print Order. NOTE: Certain PostScript files may affect printer output results. See Appendix 4 for more detail.

Appendix 4: Printing PostScript Files

The PostScript language supports the ability to modify copies, collation, and finishing options (Gera finishers only). These commands may apply to entire jobs, not just the PostScript portions. This appendix describes the rules used to merge AccXES Client Tools and PostScript requests.

This appendix applies only if a PostScript file contains one or more of the following:

Ÿ Setting of the Collate page device parameter (via setpagedevice) Ÿ Setting of the Fold page device parameter (via setpagedevice) Ÿ Setting of the NumCopies page device parameter (via setpagedevice or by #copies)

NOTE: If your PostScript does not contain these operators, then this appendix may be disregarded.

Interaction between PostScript Copies, Collation, and Finishing Options

PostScript commands for Collate, Fold, and Copies may apply to 1) just the PostScript file or 2) the entire job: Ÿ For a single data format job* which contains a PJL header and a PostScript file, the copies, collation, and finishing parameters specified in the PostScript file

take precedence for the job and behave according to PostScript Language Reference Manual. [If PostScript collation parameter is true, PostScript copies is a job parameter – if PostScript collation is false, PostScript copies is a page parameter.]

Ÿ For a multiple data format job* which contains a PJL header, file 1 is any data format EXCEPT PostScript and files 2 (or later) are any data format including

PostScript. The PJL header parameters for copies, collation, and finishing will take precedence for all files in the job. If file 2 (or later) is a PostScript file which specifies collation or finishing, then those PostScript values for collation and finishing are ignored. If the PostScript file specifies copies, that value is applied to the Pos tScript file only.

Ÿ For a multiple data format job* which contains a PJL header, if file 1 is a PostScript job that specifies copies, collation or finishing, the PostScript values for

collation and finishing take precedence for ALL the files in the job and behave according to PostScript Language Reference Manual [see item 1].

Ÿ A PostScript setting of Collation = True maps to an AccXES setting of Collation = Auto.

*NOTE: If banner pages are enabled BEFORE the job, the job is treated as a multiple data format job with the banner page being file 1.

Printing PostScript Files Using the DST in the AccXES Client Tools

If the PostScript file does not contain the settings for Collation, Folding, or Copies:

Ÿ The settings within the Document Submit Tool will always take precedence over the default printer settings, and will apply to the PostScript file(s).

If the PostScript file is the first file within the Document Submit Tool’s Document List and contains the settings for Collation and Folding:

Ÿ The settings within the PostScript file will always take precedence over what are set within Document Submit Tool and the settings within the printer. These

settings will also be used as JOB parameters and pertain to EVERY file within the Document Submit Tool print job.

If the PostScript file is the first file within the Document Submit Tool’s Document List and contains the settings for Copies and Collation:

Ÿ The Collate=False setting within the PostScript file will always take precedence over printer defaults, or what is set within Document Submit Tool. Ÿ When Collate=False is used in combination with the Copies setting in a PostScript file, the Copies setting affects ONLY that PostScript file within the Document

List.

Ÿ If the setting for collation is true (e.g. Collate=True) the copies setting within the PostScript file is applied to EVERY file within the Document Submit Tool Job.

If the PostScript file is NOT the first file within the Document Submit Tool’s Document List and contains settings for Collation, Folding, and Copies:

Ÿ The settings within the Document Submit Tool will always take precedence over what is set within the PostScript file. The Document Submit settings will be

considered JOB parameters and be applied to EVERY file within the Document List.

Ÿ The setting for copies within the PostScript file is applied to ONLY the PostScript file regardless of the copies setting within Document Submit Tool.

Examples

EXAMPLES with Copies and Collation set in DST and PostScript file first in the Document List. EXAMPLE 1:

Your settings are:

- In the Document Submit Tool, Copies = 2 In the PostScript file, Collate is FALSE

- In the PostScript file, Copies = 3.

- Documents within the Document List are:

Your output is: 6 copies of - <PostScript file> 2 copies of - <Non-PostScript file #1> 2 copies of - <Non-PostScript file #2>

This is caused by the PostScript file containing the settings: Collation = False and Copies = 3

EXAMPLE 2:

Your settings are:

- In the Document Submit Tool, Copies =2

- In the PostScript file, Collate is TRUE

- In the PostScript file, copies = 3

- Documents within the Document List are: <PostScript file> <Non-PostScript file #1> <Non-PostScript file #2>

Your output is: 1 copy of - <PostScript file> 1 copy of - <Non-PostScript file #1> 1 copy of - <Non-PostScript file #2> 1 copy of - <PostScript file> 1 copy of - <Non-PostScript file #1> 1 copy of - <Non-PostScript file #2> 1 copy of - <PostScript file> 1 copy of - <Non-PostScript file #1> 1 copy of - <Non-PostScript file #2>

This is caused by the PostScript file containing the settings: Collation = True and Copies = 3

AccXES Client Tools Us er Guide 85

AccXES Client Tools User Guide 86

EXAMPLES With Folding set in DST and a PostScript file is first within the Document List. EXAMPLE 3:

Your settings:

- In the Document Submit Tool include “Fold ISO - 210mm”

- PostScript file sets folding to OFF.

- Documents within the Document List are: <PostScript file> <Non-PostScript file #1> <Non-PostScript file #2>

Your output is: 1 copy - <PostScript file> 1 copy - <Non-PostScript file #1> 1 copy - <Non-PostScript file #2>

ALL files are NOT folded. This is caused by the PostScript file containing a setting to NOT fold the documents and send the documents to the bridge.

EXAMPLE 4:

Your settings:

- In the Document Submit Tool “Fold - FOLDER BYPASS”

- PostScript file sets folding to ON.

- Documents within the Document List are: <PostScript file> <Non-PostScript file #1> <Non-PostScript file #2>

Your output is: 1 copy - <PostScript file> 1 copy - <Non-PostScript file #1> 1 copy - <Non-PostScript file #2>

ALL files are FOLDED. This is caused by the PostScript file containing a setting to fold the documents and NOT to send the documents to the bridge.

EXAMPLES With Collation set in DST and a PostScript file is first within the Document List.

EXAMPLE 5:

Your settings:

- In the Document Submit Tool include: Collation = FORWARD/REVERSE, Copies = 3

- In the PostScript file, Collation = OFF.

- Documents within the Document List are: <PostScript file> <Non-PostScript file #1> <Non-PostScript file #2> Your output is: 3 copies - <PostScript file> 3 copies - <Non-PostScript file #1> 3 copies - <Non-PostScript file #2>

This is caused by the PostScript file containing a setting to NOT collate the documents.

EXAMPLE 6:

Your settings:

- In the Document Submit Tool, Collation = NONE, Copies =3

- In the PostScript file, Collation = ON.

- Documents within the Document List are: <PostScript file> <Non-PostScript file #1> <Non-PostScript file #2> Your output is: 1 copy - <PostScript file> 1 copy - <Non-PostScript file #1> 1 copy - <Non-PostScript file #2> 1 copy - <PostScript file> 1 copy - <Non-PostScript file #1> 1 copy - <Non-PostScript file #2> 1 copy - <PostScript file> 1 copy - <Non-PostScript file #1>

1 copy - <Non-PostScript file #2>

This is caused by the PostScript file containing a setting to collate the documents.
