Release Notes
The follo ing information supplements the 13.0 customer user guides
Total Accxes
An issue has been seen ith submitting 150 and 200 dpi color and grayscale images to office printers.
Submission of 300, 400 and 600 dpi images have been more reliable, though higher resolutions require
monger processing times.
Sets
For 600 DPI engines (6279) the maximum number of ARCH E sized documents that ill collate reliably in a set is
150. If the documents ill not collate properly, one copy of the set ill be printed only. This is for sets created
using the scanner as ell as printed sets submitted across the net ork.
Controller
Stamp does not appear
If the user tries to upload a stamp files that contains an invalid format, or if the Accounting Mode is set to
“Enabled”, no error message ill be displayed. The WebPMT screen ill display a message that the file as
uploaded successfully and the stamp’s filename ill not appear in the “Printer Resident Stamps” list. To avoid this
situation, set the Job Accounting mode to “Optional” before uploading stamps. The WebPMT has no kno ledge
of the validity of any file that is sent to the printer. File validation and error handling is done on the printer by the
FreeFlo Accxes controller. The WebPMT only reports that the file as sent to the printer successfully.
Scaling Interaction with “ANY”
The media size “ANY” ill select the best sheet size for an image to prevent clipping. If a user specifies a media
size of “ANY” and a scale factor that makes the image too large for any sheet size and mismatch mode is set to
scale, the controller ill select the largest sheet size and scale the image to fit on it. If this is not the desired
behavior, a specific sheet size can be selected, or the media mismatch mode can be set to QUERY.
Margins may cause clipping
If the margins (TOP, BOTTOM, RIGHT and LEFT) are set to a non-zero value (5mm is the default) then that
amount of hitespace ill be added to the image before placing it on the media and could cause part of the
image to be shifted off the page, or clipped. To correct this problem set the margins to 0.
CGM Files and Folding
Certain CGM files contain rotation commands hich can confuse the system hen folding. If the title block is not
visible or the plot is bypassed and not folded, change the title block location to obtain a correctly folded
document.
TFTP not operational beyond FreeFlow Accxes 12.7
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol is not operational. The recommendation is to use the FreeFlo Accxes Client
Tools for job submission to the FreeFlo Accxes controller running 12.7 or higher..

8
Wide Format Scanner
Copy Templates lost after reboot
The copy and scan templates defined on a Wide Format Scan system ill be lost after a po er cycle.
Clear Last Image
When the “Clear Last Image” feature is selected on the Xerox Wide Format Scan System, it may take a fe
minutes for a Photo or Color mode scanned document to clear out. After scanning a document, this feature is
accessed by selecting the “C” key on the scanner. It ill bring up the “CLEAR SCANNED IMAGE” screen. Use the
“Next” button to select “CLEAR LAST IMAGE”, and then press “ENTER”
Invert Feature and Recall Last Job
Scan a document. Press the Transform key. Select “Recall Last Job”. If the Invert feature (changes dark to light
and vice versa) is selected before printing the recalled document, the document ill not be inverted. It ill need
to be rescanned to get the inverted image.
Scan to Print and Margins
When performing a scan-to-print operation the scanned image is printed using the current printer processing
defaults including margins. If the image scanned is exactly the idth of the paper, then the processing default
margins should be set to zero to prevent the image from being clipped or placed on a larger sheet of paper.
Width Detection Sensors and Finishing
When using the idth detection sensors, if the document is a little bit off-center, this could cause problems for
folding, as the document printed may be square. This is most problematic ith A, B, and C sizes. Documents must
be centered hen using the sensors for idth detection.
Bac ground Suppression
The scanner uses the first fe inches of a document to determine the background suppression. If the first fe
inches of the document being scanned are not representative of the entire document, either too much or too little
of the background ill be removed. If this occurs, try physically turning the document 90 degrees and scan it
again. Continue ith this until an edge is found that produces a good scan.
Scaling Shaded Documents
Scaling documents ith error diffused shaded areas should be done in a photo mode to produce the best image
quality. Line and normal modes tend to exaggerate the shading dots making them more visible.
50000015 errors while copying
Occasional 50000015 errors have been seen hile scanning more than 128 documents on the 6030/6050 system.
This happens hen an experienced operator gets a significant number of pages ahead of the printer causing a
queue that is larger than the system can hold. The solution is to ait for several of the pages to complete
printing before copying any additional documents.
Recalling sets
When a set is recalled, the scanner UI settings are not set to reflect their state for the last page scaled, but are in
a “neutral” state to prevent unintentional overriding of setting for the set. If a setting (like scale, page size, etc) is
changed it ill affect the entire document set.
Washed out documents when scanning/copying
When scanning/copying documents ith very lo contrast (like poor blue line or sepia documents) ith dynamic
background removal set to OFF can cause the system to threshold the document and produce a very ashed out
document. Enabling background removal ill actually remove less of the background in this case.

9
Manual Feed
Manual feed media source will be ignored when used with the Accxes Client Tools’ page composition
feature
Go to Accxes Client Tools > Job Option tab > Composition tab > Select Overlay Images > Media Source drop do n
menu. Although “Manual Feed” is listed as a choice of media source for page composition jobs, the print job ill
be treated as if AUTO media source as selected. If an appropriate roll of media is available, it ill be printed on
that media; other ise, the job ill query until the correct roll media is installed. In addition, other Media Source
selections ill be treated as AUTO if an appropriate roll of media is available in a different roll.
InstantAccxes
When using InstantAccxes folders on an IPv6 net ork you must reference the system directly as sho n belo :
Vista: Start>Run> \\<Controller Name>
Linux: smb://<Controller Name>
InstantAccxes Folders not accessible from MAC on IPv6
InstantAccxes folders are not accessible to systems running MAC OS 10.4 or earlier versions on IPv6 net orks.
Web Printer Management Tool
Printer Queue – Main Web Printer Management Tool Screen
The FreeFlo Accxes Controller supports a maximum of 120 active printer jobs in the queue and 8 active copy
jobs. If subsequent jobs are sent before the 128th prints, ports ill refuse connections and there can be scan
errors; hen there are fe er jobs in the queue, the jobs can then be resubmitted or scanned. Additionally,
completed jobs ill be removed from the queue display immediately to make room for the ne ly submitted print
jobs. To avoid these issues, keep the number of active print jobs to under the 128 limit.
NOTE: More than 128 files can be sent from the Document Submit Tool as one print job, but all of the files in the print job must
have printe before sen ing subsequent jobs, or the jobs will be refuse
German users only
Zum Drucken von Etiketten mit Umlauten DRUCKERVORGABEN > DRUCKER-EINSTELLUNG > Plot-Etiketten
ählen. Anschließend im Dropdo n-Menü für Fonts einen der folgenden Fonts ählen: HP2 Stick Font Latin - 1
oder HP2 Stick font Latin - 1 – Proportional.
Large Scaling Factors
Images set to scale beyond the largest installed roll ill not scale beyond the largest idth unless a specific roll is
selected, a specific page size is selected, or mismatch mode is set to something other than scaling. This is a
behavior that has changed from previous releases (prior to 9.0).
For example: The largest roll installed is 36". Scaling is set to 999%. Submit an ARCH E sized dra ing (Media Size
= Any, Mismatch = Scaling). The dra ing ill not be scaled.
In order for the output to exhibit the desired scaling factor, one of the follo ing conditions must be met:
What to do:
• Set Mismatch Mode to Substitute
• Request a Media Size of ARCH E via Web Printer Management Tool, ACT, or the Driver
• Request a Media Size 36" Roll via Web Printer Management Tool, ACT, or the Driver

10
Web Printer Management Tool (continued)
HPGL Page – End of File
If the files are streamed via any port on the system, these are treated as a single job and no reset is done
bet een them. Ho ever, if one uses the LPD protocol to send the files one at a time, the effect is that the printer
is reset after each job. If the “Reinitialize after EOF” is set to be on, the FreeFlo Accxes firm are ill reset the
printing parameters after each plot file that is received by a serial port or a parallel port. To reset the HPGL
parameters on the Web Printer Management Tool, select Printer Defaults > Emulations > HPGL. Click on the box
in front of “Reinitialize after EOF”. Click on the “UPDATE PRINTER” button.
Display of Media Usage
The Web Printer Management Tool Linear Media Usage displays the Media Usage in METERS. The
mechanical meters used on the Xerox Wide Format Print System 721p IOTs can be programmed using the
IOT diagnostics and are determined by hich mode (ANSI or ISO) that the IOT is programmed to operate
in. The units of measurement may not be the same.
Default PostScript Page Size
If a PostScript job does not specify a page size (either by using a compatibility operator such as “letter”, or “a4”, or
by using the setpagedevice operator /PageSize parameter), the page size used is the one specified by the Default
PostScript Page Size parameter available via the printer user interface, or via the Web Printer Management Tool.
“Printer has been updated” message
If the user presses the “UPDATE PRINTER” button ithout actually making changes first, the Web Printer
Management Tool ill still return a message that the printer as updated. The Web Printer Management Tool
cannot distinguish a page that has been modified from one that has not been modified. This is because of the
“stateless” nature of the http protocol and the fact that no events are generated (html) hen text values are
entered or items are selected. When the “UPDATE PRINTER” button is pressed, all the data on the form is
gathered and sent to the server. If the data is valid, the printer is updated and “The printer as updated
successfully.” message is returned. If inappropriate data is sent, an error message is returned. To verify valid
changes to printer settings, a test print can be printed to vie the changed settings.

Dis Image Overwrite
Overview
The Disk Image Over rite feature has t o operations: Immediate and On Demand. The immediate operation
over rites image data on the hard drive immediately after it is no longer needed (i.e. When the page has printed).
The On Demand operation cleans the entire disk. Both On Demand Image Over rite and Immediate Image
over rite feature are configured by the system administrator, assuming that the system administrator pass ord
is set to a non-zero value.
Algorithm
The over rite algorithm for both IIO and ODIO conforms to the U.S. Department of Defense Directive 5200.28-M
(Section 7, Part 2, paragraph 7-202), and is common to all WorkCentre/WorkCentre Pros and Accxes controllers.
The algorithm for the Image Over rite feature is:
Step 1: Pattern #1 is ritten to the sectors containing temporary files (IIO) or to the entire spooling area of the
disk (ODIO). (hex value 0x35 (ASCII “5”)).
Step 2: Pattern #2 is ritten to the sectors containing temporary files (IIO) or to the entire spooling area of the
disk (ODIO). (hex value 0xCA (ASCII compliment of 5)).
Step 3: Pattern #3 is ritten to the sectors containing temporary files (IIO) or to the entire spooling area of the
disk (ODIO). (hex value 0x97 (ASCII “ú”)).
Step 4: 10% of the over ritten area is sampled to ensure Pattern #3 as properly ritten. The 10% sampling is
accomplished by sampling a random 10% of the over ritten area.
See Online Help in Web Printer Management Tool for more details about using the Image Over rite feature.

6279 Specific Notes
Overview
This section is clarification to the existing documentation available for the 6279 system.
Timer Reset Button
This button ill reset the timer value to the previous setting, NOT to the factory default setting.
Shared Settings
Many of the setting for Scan-to-Mailbox and Scan-to-Net ork are shared and so many of the settings made on
one ill stay hen selecting the other.
Can’t interrupt multi-page/set operations
When creating a collated copy set or a multi-page scan file you cannot leave the Service to enter another service
like machine info to change administration settings. To allo the user to do so ould force an abort of the
current scanned job or potentially change a setting hich should have applied to all pages and so produce an
inconsistent set.
Speeding up Remote Print Times
When scanning a document to a remote printer it is important to use an appropriate resolution for the
application. A 600 dpi scan in full color ill take significantly longer to process than a 200 or 300 dpi scan.
Unless the application arrants a high resolution scan, it is recommended that 200-300 dpi be used to increase
productivity.
Installing and removing feature eys
The 6279 system must be in an idle state, not in a po er-saving state hen installing or removing feature keys.
In a po er-saving state some components are po ered do n and cannot respond to feature key changes.
Any Sheet page sizes
When submitting a job here the media size is set to “ANY_SHEET” all standard page sizes ill be used to identify
a good fitting sheet. Standard page sizes include all ANSI, ARCH, ISO A, ISO B, 30x42, 17x25, 22x36 and
extended ISO sizes like 297x1189, 297x841, 420x841, 594x1189, 841x2378.,
Changing settings on Instant Accxes folders
When settings are changed on Instant Accxes folders, the folder usually needs to be re-shared to the net ork.
This may cause InstantAccxes folders hich are open on client orkstations to become invalid until the user
closes the folder and re-opens it.
Bac ground removal is dependant on the document
Background removal is a function of the document content and may be different depending on hich side
of the document is scanned first. Rotating a document hich had poor background suppression results may
improve the background removal.
The toner door is interloc ed
There is an interlock s itch on the toner door hich ill shut do n the machine if the door is opened to
prevent injury to users.
