4 Release Installation
NOTES:
Feature keys from before version 9.0 B180 are no longer useable with version 10.3.3
firmware. New keys must be acquired from the Xerox website to use your system.
Downgrading below 9.0 B 180 will also require you to re-download your feature keys.
The AccXES Revision MUST be 9.0 or higher to upgrade to 10.3.3. If your current version is
lower than 9.0, you must install 9.0 or higher before upgrading to 10.3.3.
Regarding scanner firmware revisions: If you are upgrading the firmware of a system
containing a Xerox Wide Format Scanner, you must also ensure that the scanner firmware is
upgraded, prior to upgrading the controller, to the following version:
Xerox Wide Format Scanner – version 2.2.4 or greater. Version 3.2.6 or greater
needed for full functionality.
Xerox 7356 and 7346 Scanners are no longer supported.

5 New Features of 10.3.3 b 106
Version 10.3.3 build 106 is intended to be a SPAR release for the HFT, and PUN controllers.
The following features were added as part of those SPAR fixes.
5.1 Additional Postscript functionality
Versions of FreeFlow Accxes prior to 11.3 did not apply the Accxes contrast/lightness settings to
PDF or PostScript prints. These settings may now be used to adjust contrast and lightness on
PDF and PostScript prints.
The internal selection of tone curves and halftone screens for PostScript/PDF files has been
improved for certain document types
5.2 Postscript Interpretation level for PDF
This allows users to control technical details of how PDF files are printed. All PDF files are
internally converted to PostScript for printing. This new selection (on the Postscript emulations
tab in WebPMT) allows a choice between conversion to PostScript Level 2 or PostScript 3. Prior
versions of Accxes had always converted to PostScript 3. Setting this selection to "2" may allow
certain files to print. However, it may also prevent other PDF files from printing; the default
setting of 3 should always be chosen unless specific PDF printing problems arise.
5.3 Support for new IOT firmware releases
Support was added for the new releases of the following IOT firmware versions:
721: 01.05.00
6030/6050: 4.1.06
5.4 880mm paper support for 6030 and 6050
If 880mm paper is loaded and configured on the 6030/6050 it will be recognized by the FreeFlow
Accxes controller. The 880mm media will be displayed and used for printing and copying.
