Xerox Wide Format Print System HDI Driver - AccXES Configuration Dialog Box, Advanced Tab

 Printer Accounting

The following options are available in the Printer Accounting area.

Enable

Turns on printer accounting.

Settings

Opens the Printer Accounting dialog box.

If you previously selected a printer firmware version earlier than 6.2, you are asked to enter an account number and a subaccount number.

If you have selected a printer firmware version 6.2 or later, you are asked to enter a user ID and an account ID.

Both dialog boxes allow you to save the information. If you do not save the information and accounting is enabled, you will are prompted for the accounting information at plot time.


Mismatch Mode Actions
Xerox Wide Format Print System HDI Driver - AccXES Configuration Dialog Box, Advanced Tab

 Mismatch Mode

Defines what is output if the media or media size requested does not match the media loaded.

Scale to Fit

The printer uses the largest media of the type selected that fits your print. If all the installed media of the selected type are smaller than the print job, the largest media is used and the job is scaled to fit.  If no media of the selected type is installed, the printer holds your job until the proper media is installed.

Block Printing

The printer holds your job until the proper media is installed.

Substitute Media

The printer substitutes the media type selected and prints on the size specified if it exists. If the size specified does not exist, the plot is set to Scale to Fit with the media type installed in the printer.

Rendering
Xerox Wide Format Print System HDI Driver - AccXES Configuration Dialog Box, Advanced Tab

 Rendering

•	Screen. Offers faster printing but may produce prints with a grainy appearance.

•	Error Diffusion. Generally produces a smoother print image.

Vector Minimum Line Width

Improves the visibility of fine lines. Depending on your printer's resolution, lines that are only a few pixels wide may appear light and be difficult to see. This setting allows you to set the minimum width of drawn lines from one to 10 pixels. Lines that are wider are not accommodated by Fineline Pixel Threshold. This setting has no impact on raster images.
