4 Release Installation NOTES: Feature keys from before version 9.0 B180 are no longer useable with version 10.0 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 10.0. If your current version is lower than 9.0, you must install 9.0 or higher before upgrading to 10.0.
5 New Features of 10.0 b 140 5.1 Support for 6030/6050 printer Via a new WebPMT page “Configure Remote Printer” the AccXES HFT controller can now become a Print Server for a 6030/6050 Wide Format printer via an Ethernet connection. SNMP must be enabled on the 6030/6050 printer. If the Printer is on a different subnet than the AccXES controller then static routing must be enabled on the 6030/6050 printer.
6 New Features of 9.5 b 111 6.1 Single Page Job This feature, when enabled, will concatenate adjacent pages in a job that are the same width to produce a long strip of paper for the job. If the Single Page Job feature is set to a specific roll size, then all pages of the job will be forced to that width guaranteeing that they are all concatenated. If the Single Page Job feature is set to Auto, only those adjacent pages that print on the same roll will be concatenated.
With 9.5 AccXES controller firmware and 3.2.5 Xerox Wide Format Scanner firmware or higher, it is now possible to move a feature key from one scanner to another.
7 Release Notes The following information supplements the 10.0 customer user guides. 7.1 Controller 7.1.1 HFT and KLF Controller on the Xerox Wide Format Print System X2 TECH Rebooting procedure When the Controller is rebooted, the X2 TECH printer must also be rebooted. This is due to communication along the SCSI chain. If the controller is in the middle of a SCSI command at the time it is rebooted, the printer no longer communicates.
7.2 Xerox Wide Format 721P Printer only 7.2.1 Job Cancel from the 721p Control Panel The current job can be cancelled using the 721 Control Panel. Please note that if you wish to cancel the next job in the queue, you must put the printer back on-line and then take it off-line again. The Job Cancel feature only cancels one job at a time, the current job. 7.3 Xerox 6030/6050 Wide Format Solution 7.3.1 Long Plotting Long plot limits are dependent on the amount of memory in the 6030/6050.
7.4.3 Upgrade Test Print After upgrading to the latest scanner firmware, check the Scanner Configuration section at the bottom of the Configuration Test Print. If “None” shows for the values of Type, Product, Firmware, and Vendor, then print out another test print to view the correct values. 7.4.4 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.
7.5.1 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 down menu. Although “Manual Feed” is listed as a choice of media source for page composition jobs, the print job will be treated as if AUTO media source was selected.
there can be scan errors; when there are fewer jobs in the queue, the jobs can then be resubmitted or scanned. Additionally, completed jobs will be removed from the queue display immediately to make room for the newly submitted print jobs. To avoid these issues, keep the number of active print jobs to under the 128 limit.

However, when the “UPDATE PRINTER” or “Submit” button is pressed, the password value is displayed on the web page in the location bar of the browser.
8 Customer Issues Resolved 8.1 The following Customer issues were resolved in 10.0 b 140 Issue Description Problem Resolution Lines are missing from Microsoft Project file when printed via Windows System Driver Lines were defined as filled polygons, but AccXES rendered them with the coordinate system falling on the corners of the pixels and so there was no area inside the polygon to fill. AccXES now defaults to coordinates system on the pixels themselves which causes a single pixel line to be “filled”.
