 2. About the Print Drivers

This section of the FreeFlow Accxes document will provide you with the
detailed instructions required to download and install print drivers, set up ports,
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).

Getting Started

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.

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 printer 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 files 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 Bi-
directional is located on the Device Options tab of the Printer Properties.

Overview of the Account Management Tool

Things the AMT application is designed to do:

• Retrieve job accounting data from multiple printers that use FreeFlow
Accxes firmware (version 7.0 or greater).
• The AMT Administrator can submit an AMT command to each printer to
retrieve a copy of the media usage data and scanner usage data-
located in the job log file on the printer’s controller.
• Identify the data retrieved by Printer ID, Account ID and User ID.
• The AMT then sends a command to each printer to purge the original
data.

NOTE: This application replaces the Accounting Tab functionality of the

Client Tools.

CAUTION: The AMT software should be loaded on only one workstation

that is password protected, with no other applications loaded.

A “clean installation” is required for these software products. This means any
previous versions of the application must first be uninstalled as well as
removing the XES Preferences folder.
NOTE: The XES Preferences folder was created while the ACT & AMT
applications where in use. The uninstaller for ACT & AMT does not remove this
folder automatically.

The following table describes the location of the XES directory by platform.

Type of Platform Location of XES

Preferences Directory

Windows 2003 C:\Documents and Settings\>User

Name>\.XES\Act
Sun Solaris <home directory>/.XES/Act
Mac OS X <home directory>/.XES/ACT
Windows 2008/ C:\USERS\<username>\XES\ACT
Vista

NOTE: Removal of the directory will cause the loss of all ACT user device
settings.

CAUTION: It is important to do a manual backup of the AMT database

files on a regular basis. If you accidentally corrupt or delete the saved
data files, they cannot be recovered.
• Uninstalling the AMT software will not delete the saved database files.
• Files, images, data, user preferences, etc., created by the user or
application will not be deleted accidentally either.
