Getting Started
2. About the Print Drivers
This section of the FreeFlow Accxes document will provi de you with the
detailed instructions r equired t o download and i nstall pri nt dri vers, set up por ts,
add the Wide Format printer to your client workstation (namely your personal
computer) and send a test print.
You can find the driver installation files either on the customer CD entitled
“Accxes Print Drivers”, or they can be downloaded from our Xerox website at
(www.xerox.com).
There are two options offered to you for connecting to a printer prior to
submitting your job. They are:
• Connecting from a Client
• Connecting through a Windows 2000, 2003 or 2008 servers.
• The first, connecting from your Client, is most commonly used and
therefore more familiar to most users.
The second, connecting to a Windows 2000, 2003 or 2008 server, is done
when your business environment is a networked, shared community. The
server would have all of the drivers installed on it and allow many users to
connect and install the appropriate driver from that server.
Let’s get started with downloading and installing print drivers.

About the Print Drivers
Drivers
Installing Drivers on a Server
A Windows 2000, 2003 or 2008 server system can have all of the drivers
installed locally on it which all of the workstations would require. Each
workstation can then install the appropriate driver from the server to make
remote drivers.
HP-GL/2 Driver
These instructions describe how to install the HP-GL/2 print driver locally on a
workstation or server.
To install a print driver on a workstation from a server, see the section of this
document entitled “Remote Drivers” . The print er driver must be installed on the
server locally first, according to the following instructions.
NOTE: Prior to installing this driver, you must remove all previous
versions by following the removal instructions.
The FreeFlow Accxes HP-GL/2 printer driver is delivered as a self-extracting
zip file. Executing this program will extract the fil es to a default directory or to a
directory of the user’s choice (e.g. c:\temp). Use Window’s Add Printer Wizard
to add the printer as described below.
NOTE: You must have administrator rights to install the driver and ports.
You can install the HP-GL/2 driver on a standard TCP/IP port from one of the
following settings. If you are going to use Standard TCP/IP Port , install it first,
using the directions in the following Standard TCP/IP Port Installation section.
Then follow the directions to install the HP-GL/driver. The control for Bidirectional is located on the Device Options tab of the Printer Properties.
