FreeFlow Accxes Client Tools (ACT), the
Account Management Tool (AMT), and
Microsoft Windows 2003 Server
Overview of ACT
The ACT application runs on a PC or Solaris workstation. The tools enable a user to send print
jobs from a PC, to retrieve scanned files over the network, and to save images. Selections made
in the Client Tools will temporarily override the default settings of the FreeFlow Accxes Wide
Format printers and Scan Systems.
Document sets can be created and saved as a single document. The printer queue can be
viewed and submitted print jobs can be cancelled. Media usage data can be tracked, when job
accounting is enabled, by assigning a User ID and Account ID to the scanned and copied
documents. A Scan Directory is also specified before scanning documents. Each of the Client
Tools is on a separate tab: Document Submit, Printer Queue, Accounting, Document Retrieve,
and Device Manager tabs.
NOTE: The Accounting Tab is functional only for versions up to 6.0. It has been replaced
by an External Print Server, such as the FreeFlow Accxes Account Management Tool.
The Client Tools and the Account Management Tool (AMT) are installed using the Install
Anywhere software. The AMT should be installed on a dedicated workstation without other
applications being present.
After installation, go to the Overview and Quick Start help files to get started using this
software.
Go to the latest copy of Release Notes to see a description of the new ACT & AMT features. (The
ACT-AMT release notes come on the same "Accxes Client Tool & Account Management Tool"
CD, which has the ACT-AMT install on it. If you download the ACT-AMT software from the
www.xerox.com website, the Release Notes come with the downloaded install zip file.)
Overview of the Account Management Tool
The AMT application is used to retrieve job accounting data from multiple printers that use
FreeFlow Accxes firmware, version 7.0, or greater. The AMT Administrator will issue an AMT
command to each printer to retrieve a copy of the media usage data and scanner usage data,
which is in the job log file in the printer's controller. The data is defined by Printer ID, Account ID
and User ID. The AMT then sends a command to each printer to purge the original data. This
application replaces the Accounting Tab functionality of the Client Tools.
Warning: The AMT software should be loaded on only one workstation that is
password protected, with no other applications loaded on the same workstation.
