FreeFlow Accxes Printer System and Web Printer Manager Tool Setup Guide iii
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 11.0 supports the following printers: 510 series, 721P, 6030, 6050,
8825, 8830, and 8850. Version 11.0 supports the following controllers: HFT/PUN and YKE.
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 Management 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 in.
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. For example, 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 largerwide 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).

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 7.0 (or newer) or Internet Explorer 5.5 (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:
Provides print job management and status tracking
Provides control over the printer’s default settings
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.
• Click on the Connection tab > LAN Settings.
• Deselect the Access the Internet using a proxy server check box.
• In the browser URL box enter http:// followed by the printer’s IP address, (for example, for
the YKE http://13.240.20.38). If you don’t know the printer’s IP address, see your System
Administrator or the test print set produced at the time of your printer’s installation. When
the power is switched on the 721p printer, the controller also sends a test print to the
printer.
• Configure Remote Printer Page (6030/6050 WIDE FORMAT printers only):
- Select PRINTER DEFAULTS > UTILITIES > Configure Remote Printer
- Put in the IP address of the remote printer, and the job queue name of that printer,
http://13.240.20.38, for the HFT/ PUN - http://13.142.199.0 or
