8.5.3 Large Scaling Factors
Images set to scale beyond the largest installed roll will not scale beyond the largest width unless
a specific roll is selected, a specific page size is selected, or mismatch mode is set to something
other than scaling. This is a behavior that has changed from previous releases (prior to 9.0).
For example: The largest roll installed is 36". Scaling is set to 999%. Submit an ARCH E sized
drawing (Media Size = Any, Mismatch = Scaling). The drawing will not be scaled.
In order for the output to exhibit the desired scaling factor, one of the following conditions must be
met:
What to do:
•
Set Mismatch Mode to Substitute
•
Request a Media Size of ARCH E via WebPMT, ACT, or the Driver
•
Request a Media Size 36" Roll via WebPMT, ACT, or the Driver
8.5.4 HPGL Page – End of File
If the files are streamed via any port on the system, these are treated as a single job and no reset
is done between them. However, if one uses the LPD protocol to send the files one at a time, the
effect is that the printer is reset after each job. If the "Reinitialize after EOF" is set to be on, the
FreeFlow Accxes firmware will reset the printing parameters after each plot file that is received by
a serial port or a parallel port. To reset the HPGL parameters on the WebPMT, select Printer
Defaults > Emulations > HPGL. Click on the box in front of "Reinitialize after EOF". Click on the
"UPDATE PRINTER" button.
8.5.5 Display of Media Usage
The WebPMT Linear Media Usage displays the Media Usage in METERS. The mechanical
meters used on the Xerox Wide Format Print System 721p IOTs can be programmed using the
IOT diagnostics and are determined by which mode (ANSI or ISO) that the IOT is programmed to
operate in. The units of measurement may not be the same.
Both the WebPMT and Test print display Linear Media Usage as zero (0) for the 6030 and 6050
printers. This is caused by a limitation in the interface between the FreeFlow Accxes controller
and the printer. The linear media information is available from the web page of the printer itself
on the status screen.
8.5.6 Default PostScript Page Size
If a PostScript job does not specify a page size (either by using a compatibility operator such as
"letter", or "a4", or by using the setpagedevice operator /PageSize parameter), the page size
used is the one specified by the Default PostScript Page Size parameter available via the printer
user interface, or via the WebPMT.
8.5.7 "Printer has been updated" message
If the user presses the "UPDATE PRINTER" button without actually making changes first, the
WebPMT will still return a message that the printer was updated. The WebPMT cannot
distinguish a page that has been modified from one that has not been modified. This is because
of the "stateless" nature of the http protocol and the fact that no events are generated (html)
when text values are entered or items are selected. When the "UPDATE PRINTER" button is
pressed, all the data on the form is gathered and sent to the server. If the data is valid, the
printer is updated and "The printer was updated successfully." message is returned. If
