Until
now, when you wanted an engineering printer for your workgroup,
your choices were limited.
If you wanted to stay within your budget, you had to choose
between quality and speed. Now, you can have it all-outstanding
print quality, speed, and a great value-with the Synergix
8825 Printer.
Key
Features
AccXES delivers unparalleled productivity by optimizing
every Synergix system component and function to perfection, ensuring that
each of the modular hardware components operate as one seamlessly integrated
system. The AccXES controller integrates your Synergix system into your
network environment and contains a suite of software essentials for concurrent
utilization of printing, copying, scanning, stacking and folding functions.
AccXES consist of:
• Embedded or stand-alone controller hardware
• Comprehensive
range of software print drivers
• Full
suite of client software
The
AccXES Controller offers proprietary technology that delivers accelerated
performance unmatched by traditional host or server based systems.
Synergix
Printers do not rely on third party RIP servers that are system dependant,
requiring more processing power to drive both the operating system
and
RIP software. AccXES has a full range of network protocols, including
TCP/IP, to integrate with any network, allowing for instant "out
of box" productivity
gains for individual employees, workgroups, departments and the
entire enterprise.
AccXES
Client Tools - The Tools to Get the Job Done
AccXES
Client Tools - (ACT), is a software suite that
maximizes the power and flexibility of the 8825/8830/8855
solutions. It includes printer drivers and special tools for both
general
users and
system administrators. Any user can apply these tools to create
and submit print jobs, retrieve scanned images,
track their printer and scanner
usage,
view job queues, and check printer status. With a password, administrators
can use these same tools to set most printer defaults, manage job
queues, load firmware updates to the AccXES controller,
and manage job accounting
functions.
All the AccXES Client Tools are free and
you may install them on as many workstations as needed. Although
these tools are free, the Adobe PostScript
3 driver requires a license fee and/or hardware installation charge
to enable the corresponding function on the printer.
AccXES
Client Tools include:
• Document Submit Tool
• Document
Retrieval Tool
• Printer
Queue
• Device
Manager
• Web
Printer Manager Tool Web PMT
• Printer
Drivers
AccXES Document Submit
Tool
To
maximize personal productivity levels for all users, the Document Submission
Tool (DST) makes it possible to batch
print files and sets, and, collate and finish them directly from any
networked
desktop - without ever opening a single file. It even allows users
to mix and match file formats and print files from different applications.
Output sizes can be easily customized by setting each document parameter
individually or applying a parameter to a whole set. In addition,
you can save jobs and document settings for future use without having to
reapply the settings. It's easy to add
or delete files and customize specific print options such as media
selection, scaling or rotation. Mirroring and justification capabilities
even let
you modify image settings without opening their applications.
As an example of this tools power, with DST it is extremely easy to combine
several drawings into a single print job and
print up to 999 collated sets of that job. Without this tool (and
the XES 8825/8830 or 8855), the choices are to:
• Print
each drawing, assemble a set, and then use a copier
to make
multiple sets
with costs in time and quality
• Print
multiples of each drawing and hand collate -
with costs
in
time and possible collation error
The
Document Retrieval Tool (DRT), a component of AccXES Client Tools,
provides a
simple way for you to create digital
files from hard copy documents and save them in any directory
accessible from your workstation. Using the Scan mode
at the scanner, you create
digital files in a directory on the AccXES controller's hard
drive. DRT
can be set-up to either manually or automatically poll AccXES
for scanned files. In seconds, they're on your desktop
or network - no time is
lost
waiting for access to a dedicated scanning workstation. The
DRT ensures that the indexing, scan previewing and merging
into print/plot sets is
achieved with complete accuracy and maximum
efficiency. The Document
Retrieval Tool also provides access to your scanned drawings
so that you can edit them automatically from within your
favorite rastor
editing tools.
(*Rastor editors are not part of ACT)
AccXES Printer Queue
The
Printer Queue allows you to manage print jobs in the queue.
From the Printer Queue, you can perform basic tasks such as:
•
View all jobs in the print queue
• View
the status of every job in the queue (active, complete,etc.)
• Change
the priority of your print job o Cancel your print
job
AccXES
Job Accounting
A
component of the AccXES Client Tools suite, the Job Accounting
Tool allows you to gather data on the amount
of
media used to print as well
as the total area of scanned images. You may query one account
at a time while System Administrators may
query multiple accounts. Information
is
displayed in square feet or decimeters, and media usage is broken
down by type. Account usage information
can be helpful when tracking the
cost
of a job or estimating the cost of supplies needed. Job Accounting
makes it convenient for you to:
• Monitor
account usage
• Generate
account data tracking reports
• Output
account data to a file for use in other applications
AccXES
Device Manager
The
Device Manager, a component of AccXES Client Tools, manages the connectivity
of network printers/scanners. The Device Manager functions include:
•
Viewing available networked systems
• Adding
or editing the properties of a network printer/scanner
• Deleting an existing network printer/scanner
• Specifying the default printer/scanner
• Setting
the Connection Retry Settings
AccXES
Web Printer Manager Tool - (Web PMT)
AccXES Web PMT ensures
that overall control of the Synergix System always
remains with the administrator. It also
enables individual users to purge
their own print tasks from the System, view the system settings,
printer queue and system status. System administrators
can perform tasks such
as setting priorities; creating changing or deleting accounts;
viewing account data and setting or changing the
systems settings. The Web
Printer Management Tool makes all of this possible
because the AccXES controller
can act as a "web server" creating a home page for any Synergix
Printer coupled with it. A printer status snapshot is then viewable
at any
time for anyone with a standard web browser (such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator).
AccXES
Printer Drivers
For optimal print efficiency, printer drivers ensure
that all outputs are transformed into formats instantly recognized by
the AccXES Controller
for rapid delivery to a Synergix Printer. AccXES was carefully designed
and meticulously tested for compatibility with applications associated
with engineering drawings, plans, editing and even business management.
Printer drivers are computing platform dependent, and in some cases
application
dependent and therefore are usually available for several operating systems.
With every Synergix 8825/8830/8855 Printer (with AccXES) and DS solution,
XES supplies the following printer drivers:
• GDI drivers - for printing directly from GDI-compliant Windows
programs such as
Microsoft Word, Adobe PhotoShop, etc.
• ADI
drivers - for printing directly from AutoCAD r13 and r14
• HDI
drivers - for printing directly from AutoCAD 2000
• PostScript
level 3 drivers - for printing directly from Windows
programs such as Microsoft Excel, Adobe PhotoShop,
etc. This software
is sold as an option.
