X2-Tech System Components - Xerox 8850 System Introduction

X2-TECH System Components

The X2-TECH Color Printer is available in 36" wide or 54" wide format, in
two configurations. The first configuration is comprised of the X2-TECH
Color Printer and an AccXES Controller. The second configuration, known as
the Digital Solution, combines the X2-TECH Color Printer with the Synergix
Scan System and the AccXES Controller.
The X2-TECH Color Printer features 360 x 360 and 720 x 720 dpi resolution,
using 6 print heads to apply pigmented, instantly drying, oil-based inks. Both
the 36" wide and the 54" wide formats support 2 rolls of media in a variety of
types that have been optimized for color printing, and are selectable from
print drivers, the Document Submit Tool of the Access Client Tools, or from
the Media Page of the Web Printer Manager Tool.
The rated output speeds of both X2-TECH printers varies depending upon
the mode that is selected for printing. Speed specifications are stated in the
XES X2-TECH Color Inkjet Printer product sheet available on the Internet at
www.xes.com. The X2-TECH printer is capable of printing in both
Monochrome and Color, in three output quality modes (Fast, Normal, and
Best) that are selectable as the printer default setting from the Rendering
page of the Web Printer Manager Tool. Controller firmware support is
provided for the X2-TECH's Rapid Acceleration of Color Element Recognition
(RACER) feature, using the three black print heads to print black and white
portions of the document, while printing color portions with the three black
heads and the three color heads. This feature is used to speed up printing of
mainly black and white documents, containing small amounts of color (for
example, a color logo on a monochrome CAD drawing).
The AccXES Controller provides multiple port connectivity and multiple data
format recognition. Specific data formats supported for color printing by the
X2-TECH are stated in this manual in the Specifications (for KLF Controller)
section. The Controller maximizes the capabilities of the printer by
incorporating a number of web pages within its firmware, allowing you to
control the print queue and printer operating parameters from a web browser
installed on your workstation. The web pages in the Controller are collectively
known as the Web Printer Manager Tool (Web PMT). The status of X2-
XES Synergix 8825/8830/8850/8855 & X2-TECH System Introduction
TECH media is monitored by the Controller and reported on the Main Page of
the Web PMT.
The X2-TECH Digital Solution combines the X2-TECH Color Printer with
the Synergix Scan System, AccXES Controller, and the Scanner Control
Panel mounted on top of the Scanner. Engineering documents up to 36
inches (914 mm) wide and 80 feet (24.38 meters) long can be digitally
scanned and printed, or scanned to and retrieved from electronic files stored
on the system's Hard Drive.
Using supplied Application Print Drivers, the AccXES Client Tools, and
Web Printer Manager Tool, scanned documents may be previewed,
retrieved, printed, and managed from remote desktops. Media usage can
also be monitored by using assigned account numbers when scanning or
printing documents.
An optional PostScript Data Format Interpreter is also available. If this
license is purchased, two types of halftoning methods are available for
selection from a drop-down menu on the PostScript emulation page of the
Web PMT.
Effective with Firmware release 7.5, new features include Scan-to-PDF,
adjustable Job Priority on Pre and Post-rendered Jobs in queue, and
Controller Support for externally-tracked Accounting of printing, copying, and
scanning activities (using the optional Account Management Tool).
Effective with Firmware Release 7.5, a new Color Enablement feature key is
available enabling Scanning-to-Net in color in TIFF and JPEG formats. The
printing of JPEG files is also enabled in Firmware Release 7.5.
With proper care and maintenance, your X2-TECH Color Printer or Digital
Solution will provide you with years of reliable service.
