Sections Of The Device Manager Tab - Xerox 850DX - Phaser Color Solid Ink Printer User Manual

Sections of the Device Manager Tab

The Device Manager Tab contains the following areas (from top to bottom):
Ÿ
Toolbar buttons - Commands include Create a New Device, Edit a
Selected Device, Accept the Device Parameters, Cancel the Current
Activity, Delete a Selected Device, Get Printer ID, Update Printer ID of
all Network Devices, Display Retry Settings, and Help.
Ÿ
Available Devices Section - The Available Devices List displays the
available printers and scanners. The list automatically includes printers
that can be connected to local ports (identified by a local port label such
as LPT1) and Print To File. The network printers and scanners are listed
after the local printers. They can be added, edited, or deleted.
The Document Submit, Printer Queue, and Accounting Tabs use the
default printer when communicating with a printer.
The Accounting Tab and the Printer Queue Tab are not capable of two-
way communication with the printer when a parallel port printer, or Print
To File have been selected.
The Document Retrieve Tab uses the selected default scanner for its
two-way communication with a network scanner.
Ÿ
The Network section - This section displays the properties of the
selected device. The parameters displayed depend on the device
connection type (parallel, serial or network). For a parallel or serial port
printer, the parameters can not be changed. For a network device, the
Device Name and Address parameters, as well as the "AccXES to Client
Communications" checkbox may be edited. When editing or creating a
network device, you can uncheck the "AccXES to Client Communications"
checkbox if the device does not support bi-directional communication,
such as when connecting to an external print server. If this checkbox is
unchecked, then the Device Manager Tool will not attempt to obtain the
printer identification information from the network device. Instead, it will
list the same accounting as the last most recently updated network
device. When this checkbox is unchecked, you will not be able to use
AccXES Client Tools User Guide
the print queue or the accounting tool (the toolbar buttons become
disabled).
For Print to File, go to the Print to File section below.
Ÿ
The Printer Identification section (for AccXES Client Tools version
7.0 and greater). This feature is needed to determine which AccXES
firmware version the printer is using. If it is 7.0 and greater, then the
Accounting Tab will be disabled and the AccXES Account
Management Tool will be used to provide the accounting features. If
the AccXES firmware version is before 7.0, then the AccXES Client
Tools Accounting features can be still used.
When AccXES Client Tools is first installed, the software will try to
update the Printer Identification information for all of the network
devices listed on the Device Manager Tab.
The serial port (COM1, COM2) devices are not updated when the
AccXES Client Tools is installed; therefore the Printer Model and
Printer Version values will show as "UNKNOWN". Before using a
serial port device as a default printer, the user will want to update the
printer identification information by pressing the Get Printer ID
toolbar button.
When a device that does not support bi-directional communication
(LPT1, LPT2, or Print to File) is selected, the printer identification
information of the last updated bi-directional device will show in the
printer identification section.
If a new device is added to the Device Name list, the software will
connect to the printer, read what the printer identification is, and put it
into this Printer Identification section. A failed message will appear if
the software fails to connect to the printer.
Ÿ
The Device Status line (at the bottom of the screen) - displays the
command's action status as a result of pressing the Toolbar buttons.
You can press the Cancel button on this line to cancel the action.
