Web Printer Management Tool (continued)
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 Web Printer Management Tool, select Printer Defaults > Emulations > HPGL. Click on the box
in front of “Reinitialize after EOF”. Click on the “UPDATE PRINTER” button.
Display of Media Usage
The Web Printer Management Tool 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.
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 Web Printer Management Tool.
“Printer has been updated” message
If the user presses the “UPDATE PRINTER” button without actually making changes first, the Web Printer
Management Tool will still return a message that the printer was updated. The Web Printer Management Tool
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 inappropriate data is sent, an error message is returned. To verify valid
changes to printer settings, a test print can be printed to view the changed settings.
