Xerox AccXES 9.0 - Manual

AccXES 9.0 Installation Guide (8825, 8830)
Feature Key Note:
If you have an HFT controller with AccXES 8.0 or 8.5, upgrading to AccXES 9.0 will cause you to lose the
following Data Format Interpreters (DFI):
• VCGL
• Versatec Raster (VRF & VDS)
• CGM
These DFIs are no longer part of the standard (HFT controller) system. A new feature key is necessary to
enable each of them. The DFI Feature Keys can be purchased through Xerox Sales or an Authorized
Reseller. See Step 1 below to determine if you have an HFT controller.
Step 1
Determine your Hardware Configuration
There are distinct versions of firmware for each controller hardware platform. Firmware is available for the
hardware platforms as indicated below. Your hardware platform can be determined by examining the
printer configuration test print or serial number (found on the AccXES controller unit). Note your hardware
version.
Hardware CPU (from test print) Serial Number
HFT RTT – MPC 7410 HFT-xxxxx
CNG PPC740 – 200 CNG-xxxxxx
N5T PPC740 – 200 N5T-xxxxx
EV4 MPC8240-250 EV4-xxxxxx
Step 2
Release Notes
Print and read the AccXES release notes (pdf format). The release notes can be found in the downloaded
zip file, in the documentation section or by using the ‘See Also’ link.
Step 3
Check Disk Size and RAM Requirements
Consult the Recommended Configurations Chart (pdf file) to confirm that your Controller has the required
disk size and RAM needed for the AccXES upgrade. This chart can be found in the ‘Documentation’ section.
Step 4
Job Accounting Migration
Warning: As a precaution, save your Job Accounting Data prior to upgrading.
If you have AccXES 7.5 or newer and are using Job Accounting, use the Account Management Tool (AMT)
to collect existing Job Based Accounting Data from the AccXES Controller / Printer.
If you have AccXES 6.1 or older and are using job accounting, please read the Job Accounting Migration
document found in the ‘Documentation’ section, which describes the migration process from the legacy
accounting system to the new Job Based Accounting system. Legacy Job Log files are deleted when
upgrading to AccXES 7.5 or greater. Use the Web Printer Manager Tool, Scanner UI or ACT to
retrieve/store your legacy data prior to upgrading AccXES.
