5 New Features of 10.0 b 140

5.1 Support for 6030/6050 printer

Via a new WebPMT page “Configure Remote Printer” the AccXES HFT controller can now
become a Print Server for a 6030/6050 Wide Format printer via an Ethernet connection. SNMP
must be enabled on the 6030/6050 printer. If the Printer is on a different subnet than the AccXES
controller then static routing must be enabled on the 6030/6050 printer.

The Print Queue will now display “submitting” when a job is being submitted to the remote printer
and “submitted” when a job has been completely submitted to the remote printer and is either
printing or waiting to print.

The 6030/6050 embedded printer controller requires version 2.6.00 or higher firmware to function
properly with the AccXES controller.

5.2 Force PP = 0

The HPGL "PP" command controls how pixels are placed on the printer grid during polygon fills.
Prior to AccXES v8.0, the PP command was ignored and grid-intersection pixel placement
(PP=0) always used. Use of grid-centered pixels (PP=1) sometimes causes very thin polygons to
disappear. The "Force PP=0" feature will prevent this from occurring by overriding the file's PP=1
command. Note that when "Force PP=0" is enabled, the use of grid-intersection pixels may
cause unwanted blank lines between adjacent polygons.

In WebPMT, this feature can be found under Printer Defaults>Emulations>HPGL.
