Introduction
The purpose of this Guide is to provide experienced Systems Administrators with the required
information for setting up a Xerox Wide Format Printer within a variety of network environments.
FreeFlow Accxes Version 12.0 supports the following printers: 510 series, 721P, 6030, 6050,
6204, 8825, 8830, and 8850. Version 12.0 supports the YKE/YKE-N controllers.
Although not all tasks are required for setup within every network environment, the list of typical
communications setup tasks inclu des:
Printing a printer configuration test print.
Setting up the Printer, including changing the password, installing the help files, and setting the
printer defaults in the Web Print Manager Tool.
Enabling the Scan System to communicate with the FreeFlow Xerox Wide Format Printer.
Installing the drivers.
Installing the Client Tools (ACT) on user workstations, which enables users to send print jobs that
can override the default printer settings.
Installing the Account Management Tool (AMT) on one workstation, from which media usage data
and scanner usage data can be retrieved from the printer’s controller.
Basic Requirements
A working knowledge of your network operating environment.
Appropriate cabling to connect your printer and Scan System to the network.
NOTE: Make sure that the network cabling is compliant with the Ethernet specification for
the environment in which the printer is being installed.
A workstation with the appropriate operating system software installed for that station.
TCP/IP General Setup Requirements: IP Address, Subnet Mask, & Default Gateway:
For small networks — consisting of several network-connected
devices/workstations and a hub. It is necessary to set up the printer with an
individual IP Address and a Subnet Mask (matching the subnet mask being
used by all the other local area network-connected devices). Unless a router
(gateway) is being used to gain access to the larger wide area network, a
Default Gateway address is NOT needed.
For large networks — consisting of many network-connected
devices/workstations, multiple hubs and routers. It is mandatory to set up the
printer with an individual IP Address, Subnet Mask (to match the SUB network
that the printer is on), and Default Gateway address (the router address that
the printer will use to gain access to the larger, wide area network).
FreeFlow Accxes Printer System and Web Print Management Tool Setup Guide 1
Web Print Management Tool
Overview
As part of the FreeFlow Accxes firmware, the Web Print Management Tool is accessed from your
workstation using the Netscape 8.0 (or newer), Internet Explorer 6.0 (or newer), or Mozilla 1.7.5
(or newer) and Mozilla FireFox 1.5 (or newer) web browser. To access the Web Print
Management Tool, 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 Print Management Tool enables three major functions:
yProvides print job management and status tracking
Provides control over the printer’s default settings
y
y Provides a method to enable job accounting for printing, copying and scanning media
usage data to be saved in the FreeFlow Accxes 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.
Starting the Web Print Management Tool
When accessing the Web Print Management Tool, you must have a working connection between
your computer and the printer’s FreeFlow Accxes Controller. To access the Web Print
Management Tool perform the following steps:
•Start your Web browser. If your browser starts up in the Mail or News mode, go to the
Browser mode.
•To access the Web Print Management Tool, you may need to set your browser so that it
will not try to access the FreeFlow Accxes Controller through a proxy server. To deselect
a proxy connection within your browser, perform the following steps.
Deselecting a Proxy in Netscape
• Select Preferences from the Edit menu.
• Click on the drop arrow next to the Advanced item and click on Proxies.
• In the Proxies dialog, select Direct connection to the Internet.
• Click OK.
Deselecting a Proxy in Internet Explorer
• Select Tools > Internet Options from the toolbar.

COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS
This section lists the TCP/IP IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
TCP/IP ENABLE displays ADVANCED when the 10/100 Ethernet Card/Port
on the controller (10/100/1000 Ethernet Card/Port for the YKE/YKE-N
controller) is activated at the Printer Control Panel.
CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION:
Notice that the type of controller and FreeFlow Accxes Firmware version are
listed in this section.
ADVANCED NETWORK STATUS: The Advanced Network HW Address is
the embedded NIC card and the address is used to redeem feature keys.
Status of the 10/100/1000 Ethernet Card/Port. READY shows that this is the
printer’s currently active TCP/IP network interface. DISABLED shows that the
card/port is not enabled. The card/port must display READY in order to
support Scan-to-Net, document retrieval, and Web Print Management Tool
functions.
DDS ENABLE: When the DDS is enabled, the AccXES controller will
configure itself for use with a scanner. The YKE/YKE-N controller has DDS
automatically enabled. For the other controllers, this must be enabled in order
for the controller to communicate with the Scan System.
IMMEDIATE IMAGE OVERWRITE (IIO): provides for immediate deletion and
verification of image data no longer needed by FreeFlow Accxes. It has
minimal impact on print and copy times because only areas of the disk that
have been written are deleted and verified. Note that enabling IIO doesn't
provide security for previously processed images. For full deletion and
verification, On-Demand Image Overwrite is recommended in conjunction with
enabling IIO.
