8825/8830 DDS User Guide/1

About this manual…This manual contains system operating instructions for the user and thesystem administrator for the 8825/8830 DDS system, with version 4.0software loaded into the associated N5T or F5Y Controller.

Getting to know the 8825/8830 DDSYour Xerox 8825/8830 DDS is an integrated solution for electronicallyscanning and then printing images for engineering or architectural use. Thesystem consists of the 7346/7356 Scanner and user interface for capturingimages, the Controller for processing these images, and the 8825/8830Printer/Plotter for making good quality copies of the captured images inengineering or architectural sizes.

The output from the printer can be further processed by the addition of theOnline Folder. Printing, copying, and scanning to the network can be doneconcurrently, so there is no need to wait for the printer to finish beforescanning the next image. In the Scan mode, your 8825/8830 DDS storesscanned files on the internal hard disk contained in the Controller, allowingretrieval over a network by a remotely located device.

The 8825/8830 DDS contains AutoIQ technology from Xerox EngineeringSystems. AutoIQ enables the system to intelligently examine a sample ofthe document and to automatically make the image quality adjustments thatyield a good copy even from poor original documents. AutoIQ alsoautomatically detects the width and adjusts the centering of a scannedoriginal for most documents.On the next pages, we’ll look at each of the three components of the8825/8830 DDS system. Then, you will learn how to ensure that the8825/8830 DDS is ready to operate.

8825/8830 DDS User Guide/3

Getting to know the 8825/8830 DDS

The ScannerThe Scanner unit contains a DDS User Interface and display, plus two otheroperator-accessible controls: the Power On/ Off Switch and theForward/Reverse Switch. The Power On/ Off Switch applies and removesAC power to the Scanner. The Forward/Reverse Switch is used mainly toremove documents from the Scanner’s feed mechanism. There are no userserviceable parts inside the scanner.

The 7346/7356 Scanner can scan images at the speeds shown in the tablebelow:

The guideserves two purposes: it helps guide the document through the scanner, andit serves as a target of known reflectivity during calibration of the scanner’scameras. This calibration, known as normalization, automatically takesplace when the scanner is switched on. Therefore, the guide must beinstalled before the Scanner is switched on and must be in place duringoperation.During normalization, the Scanner will not accept inserted documents.

Option keys and Feature keys

The left half of the DDS User Interface contains the keys for selection ofoptions and is divided into three areas: Media Selection, Image Quality,and Reduction & Enlargement. Status Indicator Lamps illuminate to showwhich selections have been made.

The Features keys are found to the right of the Display. Features areenabled by pressing the corresponding feature key. If the feature has anassociated screen, then that screen will be displayed when the key ispressed. If any features are then changed from the default state, thecorresponding status lamp is illuminated next to the key.

Pressing the C/CA key on the numeric keypad twice returns all features tothe default state, and the corresponding status lamp is extinguished.

If there is no associated screen for a feature, then pressing that feature keyeither alternately switches the feature on or off, or selects one of a list ofpossible options. When a feature is enabled, the corresponding status lampis illuminated.

If the BEEP function is enabled (factory default), a beep sound will be heardwhen a key is pressed. If an improper key is pressed, a multiple beep soundwill be heard.

Media Selection

The Source button selects the source of the media on which the image willbe printed. Sheet tells the Printer to print from a manually inserted sheet ofmedia. R3 (8830 Printers only), R2, and R1 select the media stored onRoll 3 , Roll 2 and Roll 1 in the Printer. Auto automatically selects the rollcontaining the media that best fits the size of the captured image. For mostdocuments, the Scanner is able to automatically detect the width of thescanned document, permitting the Auto function to then automatically selectthe most appropriate roll of media.

Note: Roll 2 and sheet feed are optional on the 8825 DDS. If these optionsare not installed, they cannot be selected. To print from a cut sheet, Sheetmode must be explicitly selected. The Auto mode cannot select a cut sheet.

The Type button selects the kind of media on which to print: Bond, Vellum(tracing paper), or Film.

Note: only media types actually loaded into the Printer can be selected.When a roll is selected, the media type for that roll is automatically selectedalso. Refer to the 8830 Printer Operator Manual for instructions about howto load rolls and specify the width and media

8825/8830 DDS User Guide/10

The Background Suppression area contains a means to correct fordocuments that contain poor contrast between the foreground image and thebackground. Four choices are provided:

Auto (factory default) The selection uses a prescanned sample of the leadedge of the document to determine the foreground and thebackground of the document. The background is automaticallysuppressed. This setting works well for most documents. If thecharacteristics of the lead edge are different from the rest of thedocument, another setting may work better.

Use this selection for documents with a dark background. Thesetting uses a prescanned sample of the lead edge of the documentto determine the foreground and the background of the document.

In this mode, the background is not suppressed, but the foregroundimage is improved to increase the contrast.

This selection works best for documents with medium levels ofcolored background on opaque media, or for documents ontranslucent or transparent media, such as vellum (tracing paper) orfilm. The selection uses a prescanned sample of the lead edge ofthe document to determine the foreground and the background ofthe document.

Off This setting produces a document that reproduces all thecharacteristics of the original document with minimum alteration.Choose this selection when the lead edge of the document is verydifferent from the rest of the document. If Photo is selected as theOriginal Type, the Off setting is automatically selected. Maps withgrayscale or color content may copy best in this mode.

All four settings may be adjusted further by changing the contrast settingunder Copy.

Power OnThe components of the 8825/ 8830 DDS should be switched on in thefollowing order:

• Scanner

• Controller (circuit breaker, if so equipped)

• Printer.

Switching on the ScannerTo switch on the Scanner, press the Power On/ Off Switch to the I position.

When the Scanner is switched on, the fluorescent lamp inside the Scannerwill illuminate immediately. If the lamp does not illuminate, refer to theProblem solving section of this User Guide.

Note: the DDS User Interface only operates when the Controller is switchedon. The panel is not electrically connected to the Scanner.

WarmupThe Scanner requires about 2.5 minutes to warm up and initialize after theoperator switches it on. During this time, internal circuitry and externalcommunications are checked, and the internal cameras are normalized,using the Document Hold-down Guide as a color reference.Note: if the guide is not installed when the Scanner is switched on,normalization will fail, and either you will not be able to scan documents oryou will obtain unsatisfactory images.At the start of the normalization sequence, the document drive motor willoperate briefly in the reverse direction to ensure that no document blocks theview of the Document Hold-down Guide. Documents will not be accepted bythe document drive mechanism until normalization is completedsuccessfully. Once normalization is complete, the operator may insert adocument, and the Scanner will transport the document to the startingposition. This transportation of the document is called staging.

If you cannot insert a document into the feed mechanism and achievestaging after approximately 2.5 minutes, refer to the Problem solving sectionof this User Guide.

Making copiesWhen the display indicates Ready to Copy, the 8825/8830 DDS is ready tomake copies.

Initially, the display indicates that the roll of media that best fits the size ofthe original document will be automatically selected. The reduction/enlargement setting is 100%, so the copy will be the same size as theoriginal document. One copy has been selected.

Many other settings are possible; these will be discussed later.

Making a copy with the default settingsInsert the original document face down and centered on the feed tray of theScanner, and gently move the document forward until the lead edgeengages the feed rolls. The Scanner transports the document to the startingposition, then scans the document. The resulting image is electronicallysent to the printer, and your copy is printed.

The document is returned to the ready position. You may then eitherremove the document by pressing the REVERSE switch, or press the Startbutton on the DDS User Interface to scan the document again.

Note: if the document is not exactly centered, the 8825/8830 DDS willautomatically correct the problem electronically, and the resulting image willstill be correctly positioned on the output media.The Scanner may be set to leave the scanned document in the rear CatchTray instead of transporting the document back to the starting position.Configuration settings are explained in the Reference section.

Adjusting Image QualitySeveral adjustments are available to correct the image for problems in theoriginal document.

The key to effectively using the Image Quality adjustments is to first classifyyour documents as Line, Mixed, or Photo. Then, classify them according tothe characteristics of the foreground image and background.

Line documents contain lines or text against a highly contrastedbackground.

Mixed documents contain both line elements and photo elements, orhalftone images.

Photo documents are continuous-tone or grayscale images.

Note: for Photo documents, no background suppression is allowed.Background Suppression is automatically set to Off.

Set the Type setting to agree with one of the three classifications.

Next, for Line or Mixed documents, determine the background.

Is the background white, light or dark?

Are the lines or text black or colored?

Finally, determine if the document is inverted (white or light foregroundagainst dark background). If the document is inverted, refer to Specialfeatures and making special copies – Transform Key for instructions on theINVERT function.

8825/8830 DDS User Guide/23

Making copiesAdjusting Image Quality (continued)

Some documents require additional adjustments to obtain the best copyquality. Documents of good quality will usually give good copies on the firstattempt. Documents of bad quality may require more than one attempt,using different settings, to obtain the best copy quality.

• What is a good quality document? describes the characteristics ofdocuments that are easiest to scan.

• What is a bad quality document? shows several examples of problemdocuments that require more attention.

• Scanning lists the different approaches to take when scanning goodquality or bad quality documents.

• Preparing documents provides tips for getting documents ready toscan and for organizing them for efficient scanning.

What is a good quality document?Good quality documents are easy to scan. They usually require noadjustments to the default values to create good line drawing images.

A good quality document has all of these characteristics:

• High contrast between foreground (the image of interest) andbackground. The foreground may be color or black.

• Foreground is a solid, high-density black or dark color (or dark blue on ablueprint, or dark brown on a sepia). Foreground density is uniform.There is only one kind of foreground (for example, there are no penciladditions on a blueprint). If the document is of mixed type, theforeground is color.

• If the document is white on black or white on blue, the foreground isclear white or nearly white, and the background is a solid, high densityblack or dark color.

• Background is white or light-colored, and is free of speckling or othernoise. Background density is uniform.

• The document has no creases, stains, tears or extraneous marks thatthe Scanner might interpret as foreground.

What is a bad quality document?Bad quality documents often require special attention to achieve a usableimage. Fortunately, the 8825/8830 DDS incorporates special imageprocessing technology that can extract acceptable images from documentsdegraded by many kinds of problems.

A bad quality document has one or more of the following problems:

• Light foreground. Examples: faded or overexposed blueprint; light pencillines.

• Foreground has variable density: some parts are dark; others are light.

include pencil additions on an ink drawing or pencil or ink additions to asepia.

• Dark or medium-dark background. Example: underexposed blueprint.

• Background has variable density.

• The background has speckles.

• Creases, stains, tears or extraneous marks that the Scanner mightinterpret as foreground.

Making copies

AutoIQ™The AutoIQ™ feature of the 8825/8830 DDS eliminates the need to makeadditional manual adjustments for most input documents.

Automatic adjustment of copy qualityThis feature allows the system to dynamically adjust itself for each original.For example, if the input document is dark, AutoIQ™ will automatically makethe appropriate compensation to optimize the reproduction of the darkdetails. If the input document has a faded background, the AutoIQ™ featurewill enable a faithful reproduction of the original with one push of the button.

There are some cases where the user may wish to optimize the settings toget even better quality output. For example, you may not wish to faithfullyreproduce coffee stains, paste-up lines, or other artifacts on the original. Forthis reason, additional controls are available for selection or document type,document image quality, desired output darkness, and backgroundsuppression.

The AutoIQ™ feature uses information about the document captured duringthe staging process. The system automatically adjusts for the darkness ofthe background and the image content. Therefore, best results can beobtained if the document is fed in with an edge that has a representativesampling of both the background and the foreground image.

Note: always load the side with both background and text or lines first.AutoIQ™ will use both the white and black information and automatically findthe best settings. This will produce a sharp image and the file size will besmaller, too.

For the documents that do not have white space on the lead edge (i.e.,photography or halftone image which covers the whole width), AutoIQ™ mayyield light and inconsistent copies. You can feed a different side that doeshave some white space first, or set the Background Suppression selectionto a setting other than Auto.

Automatic edge detection and document centeringThe edge detection and auto-centering feature of AutoIQ depends on beingable to distinguish a difference in reflectivity between the document edgesand the white plastic Document Hold-down Guide in the Scanner. For somedocuments, this cannot be done, in which case the operator is prompted toenter the width dimension manually.

The AUTOWIDTH/CENTER feature may be enabled or disabled by theoperator. Refer to the Reference section, Configuration Menu, ScannerControl, for more information.

Using the AutoIQ™ feature provides an accurate copy for most originalsincluding Blueline, Blueprints, Color Line Art/Text, and mixed documentscontaining combinations of halftone and art or photograph and art. Fordocuments with inverted images, the INVERT function should be enabled.Refer to Special features and making special copies – Transform Key forinstructions on the INVERT function.

Preparing documents• If documents have been stored rolled up, flatten them out. They will be

much easier to handle if they have been stored flat for at least 8 hours.The longer that documents have been stored flat, the easier it will be toscan them.

• After being scanned and sent to the rear of the Scanner, rolled-updocuments may not stack reliably in the Document Catcher Assembly.

• If possible, sort the documents you are going to scan according to theseguidelines:

− First, group the documents by media type, e.g. blueprint, pencil,sepia and so forth. By scanning groups of documents that are thesame type, you will minimize the number of control changes youmake with the Image Quality controls.

− Next, divide the documents in each media type group into “good”and “bad” piles based on your evaluation of their foreground andbackground quality (see the guidelines above). That way you canscan the good quality documents first, then focus on the bad qualityones, which will require more attention.

− Finally, sort the documents by size. When using preset or customformat sizes, the number of control changes is minimized.

8825/8830 DDS User Guide/30

Reducing or enlarging documentsThe image captured by the Scanner may be reduced to as little as 25% orenlarged to as much as 400% of the original size before the copy is printed.Any value between these limits may be chosen in 0.1% increments.

Note: reduction or enlargement can only be selected in COPY mode.

There are three possible modes: Auto, Manual, and Preset. An indicatorilluminates next to the selected mode. The mode is selected by pressing thekey under Reduction & Enlargement.

Auto modeThe Auto selection automatically scales the scanned image to a selectedcopy size. The size of the output media must be known in advance for thisfeature to operate, so Auto is not a valid selection if both the Synchro cutfeature and the Auto media source feature are selected.

Note: to set the scan to begin automatically, refer to Automatic and manualstart, explained previously.If the correct size of media is not loaded, the next larger size roll will be usedNote: if the 8825/8830 DDS must rotate the image in order to fit it on theselected media size, then additional processing time is required. Feed theoriginal image such that no rotation of the image is required, if possible, inorder to obtain the fastest processing time.

For example, if an A size copy is required, on a 12 inch (30.48 cm) roll, feedthe original with the short edge first, not the long edge first. If a B size copyis required on a 17-inch roll, feed the document with the long edge first, notthe short edge first.The Scanner scans the document, and the Printer (if not already busy) printsthe copy immediately. If the Printer is busy when the scan is made, the copywill be printed when the printer becomes available.

When the Scanner detects the trail edge of the document, the 8830automatically cuts the media so that the copy is the same length as theoriginal document.

Note: to set the scan to begin automatically or by pressing the Start key,refer to Automatic and manual start, explained previously.The Scanner scans the document, and the Printer (if not already busy) printsthe copy immediately. If the Printer is busy when the scan is made, the copywill be printed when the Printer becomes available.

Scanning when using the Online FolderWhen using the Online Folder, the document must be inserted in the7346/7356 scanner with the title block positioned as shown in Table 3 inorder to have the title block visible after the copy is folded. To ensure thatthe correct size fold is obtained, use the paper roll width indicated in theRecommended Printer Media Roll Width column.

Documents larger than 80 inches (2.1M) can only be partially folded.

When using the Reduction and Enlargement feature, and the Online Folder,you must orient and insert the document title block in the same orientationas the resulting enlargement or reduction copy size. In addition, therecommended media should also be used.

For example: the job requires that an A (A4) be enlarged to a C (A2).

To have the title block be visible after folding, the A (A4) document must beinserted as if it were a C (A2) document. Refer to Table 1 on the next page.

Also, to ensure that the copy is folded correctly, and will not jam in the OnlineFolder, it is recommended that you only select standard reductions andenlargements (A to C, A to E, B to D, etc., A4 to A2, A4 to A0, A3 to A1,etc.). These selections are identified in Table 1 by the document icon.Those areas that are blank are not recommended because the title blockmay not be visible after the folding is complete. You may want to refer toCustom preset, Reduce/enlarge default section of this manual, and set upthe Reduction/Enlargement default to show the standard reduction andenlargement shown in Table 1. Set the reduction /enlargement to display Ato C (A4 to A2) above the buttons.

For additional folding information, refer to the Xerox Online Folder OperatorManual.

Special features and making special copiesThe 8825/8830 DDS has many enhanced features for making copies thatmeet special needs. The keys that control these features are on the rightside of the DDS User Interface

Printer interrupt keyThe 8825/8830 DDS has two possible settings for deciding whether a copyjob or a remote print job has priority for the use of the Printer. Jobs on the8825/8830 DDS have the following priority:

1. any job currently printing

2. a COPY job that is ready to print

3. a remote print job.

If a remote print job is in progress, a copy job (one or more images capturedby the Scanner), cannot normally use the Printer until the remote print jobhas finished.

To process a copy job immediately, press the Printer Interrupt key. Theassociated status lamp illuminates, and the current pages of the mostcurrent remote print job are completed. Usually, a maximum of two pages isprinted. The print job is then suspended, and the operator may run copyjobs. When the copy jobs are finished, the operator may press the PrinterInterrupt key again. The associated indicator lamp is extinguished, and theinterrupted remote print job resumes.

If the operator sends no more copy jobs, presses no keys, and scans nodocuments, the printer interrupt feature is automatically disabled after a timeset by the PRINTER INTERRUPT timer. Refer to the Reference section forinstructions about how to set this value. The default value is 1 minute, andmay be set to a value between 1 and 99 minutes.

Preparation

In Sets Build mode, documents of C (A2) size and larger are normallydelivered to the rear of the Scanner after the scan. If theCONFIGURATION/ SCANNER CONTROL/ DOCUMENT RETURNparameter is set to REAR, then all documents are delivered to the rear afterscanning. The 7346/7356 Scanner is equipped with a document catchingdevice to receive these documents. The device is for documents of E (A0),D (A1), and C (A2) sizes.

To adjust the catching device:

1. Pull out the locking tab.

2. Slide the bar up or down. The position closest to the bottom is correctfor E size (A0) sheets. Raise the bar for shorter sizes.

3. Slide the two catching assemblies in or out from the center. Theoutermost position is suitable for E size (A0) sheets. Adjust theassemblies more toward the center for smaller sizes.

The front of the Scanner is equipped with a document organizer that isconvenient for holding the collated set of original documents. The operatormay then select one sheet at a time for scanning.

Adjusting the Margins − Margin KeyThe dimensions of the margins around the image may be adjusted bypressing the Margins key. By entering positive margins, blank space isinserted around the image. To crop unwanted parts of the image, a negativemargin value may be entered.

Note: margins can only be adjusted when the 8825/8830 DDS is in theCOPY mode.Margins are added to the image in one of two ways.

If the Synchro mode has been selected, the lead margin is added before theimage is printed, and the trail margin is added after the media cut signal isreceived from the scanner. Thus, the length of the media from the Printer willbe the scanned document length, plus the lead margin and the trail margin.

Note: if a fixed media length has been selected (Preset or Manual), thewhite space of the specified margin surrounds the image, but the actualphysical dimensions of the media remain as specified. The margins reducethe allowable area on the media in which the image may be placed

Scanning to the Network (SCAN mode)The 8825/8830 DDS has two scanning modes of operation: COPY modeand SCAN mode.

Note: the SCAN mode is optional on the 8825 DDS; it is a standard featureon the 8830 DDS. The SCAN MODE option may be enabled at any time onthe 8825 DDS. For ordering information, contact your Xerox representative.

• In COPY mode, documents are scanned, temporarily stored in memoryor the internal hard disk, and then sent to the local Printer as soon as theprinter is available. When the next job is scanned, the file from theprevious job is automatically deleted from the hard disk, making roomfor new files. Operation of the system works as described in theprevious sections.

• In SCAN mode, the image file created by scanning is stored directly ontothe hard disk for later retrieval over a connected network by a remotesystem. The image is stored in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) 6.0,using CCITT Group 4 compression.

Files stored in SCAN mode may be retrieved over the network. After thefile is retrieved by the Document Retrieval Tool (DRT) program runningon a network-connected computer, the copy residing on the local harddisk is deleted automatically. For more information, refer to theDocument Retrieval Tool User Guide.

Other remote retrieval programs, using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP),may also retrieve and delete files from the 8825/8830 DDS hard diskover the network. These other programs will copy, rather than move, thefiles, so the file remains on the local hard disk after retrieval.

After a file has been on the local hard disk for longer than the time specifiedfor the FILE DELETION Timer, the system automatically deletes the file.

To set the value for the FILE DELETION Timer, go to the Timers section ofthis manual.

Switching between COPY mode and SCAN modeTo switch between the COPY mode and the SCAN mode, perform thefollowing steps:

1. Ensure that the READY TO COPY screen is displayed. If a menu isdisplayed, press the Menu key to return to the READY... screen. IfPlease Enter Account is displayed, enter a valid account number toobtain the READY... screen.

2. Press the Mode key. The system switches to the SCAN mode, and thescreen now displays READY TO SCAN. Pressing the Mode key againreturns to the COPY mode.

Note: the TCP/IP network protocol must be enabled in the Controller, or the8825/8830 DDS will not enter the SCAN mode. To enable the TCP/IPprotocol, refer to the Controller Setup Manual.

Job Accounting – Setup and AdministrationNote: the Job Accounting feature is optional on the 8825 DDS. Contactyour sales representative for ordering information.

Job Accounting − overviewThe Job Accounting feature allows the usage of the Scanner and Printer tobe recorded in user defined account numbers. Usage is expressed as thearea (not the length) of the media scanned or used. The accounting modesfor the Scanner and the Printer can be independently set, allowing theadministrator to control access to either or both of these devices.

The job accounting mode for the scanner is controlled through the DDS UserInterface, mounted on top of the Scanner, while the accounting mode for theprinter may be set from the Printer Control Panel, or Web-based PrinterManagement Tool (PMT). Although individually set, both the Printer andScanner share a common Job Accounting database.

The Web-based PMT consists of special Web pages located in theController and accessible through either the Microsoft Internet Explorer orthe Netscape Web browsers. Version 4.0 or better is required in either casefor proper results. Other Web browsers are not supported, and may or maynot work correctly.

Job Account Administration can be performed from the Printer ControlPanel, the Web-based PMT, or the DDS User Interface on the Scanner. Forexample, an account created on the DDS User Interface can be reset ordeleted from the Printer Control Panel.

When the Scanner Job Accounting mode is set to ENABLED, userssubmitting jobs through the Scanner are required to supply a valid accountnumber before being allowed to do so. When the Printer Job Accountingmode is set to ENABLED, a valid account number must accompany any jobsubmitted to the printer. If the account number is missing or the account isinvalid, the printer will reject the job and print an error page.

Setting a Job Accounting mode to OPTIONAL allows the user to track onlythose jobs that are identified with a valid account number. In OPTIONALmode, all scan or print jobs are accepted. Usage not associated with anaccount number is tracked in a general System Account (0.3), while jobssubmitted with valid account numbers are billed to the specified account.

Setting a Job Accounting mode to DISABLED will disable the check foraccount numbers altogether. All usage is tracked in the System Total UsageAccount (0.1).

The Job Accounting feature is included in the 8830 DDS; it is an extra-costoption on the 8825 DDS. The option may be enabled at any time by sendinga special software key file to the printer. Once the feature is enabled, itremains enabled, even if you later upgrade the system software in otherways.

If you have an 8825 DDS and wish to enable Job Accounting, please contactyour XES sales representative.

8825/8830 DDS User Guide/94

Job Accounting – Setup and Administration

How usage information is collectedUsage information is accrued in two ways:

• The System account, which contains several subaccounts that accruetotal machine usage and total usage by certain kinds of jobs. Thesystem account is (0). The System Administration password is requiredto gain access to this account and its subaccounts. Refer to theAccount Definitions table for a description of each system subaccount.

• User account numbers, which are in the range 1 − 999999. Up to 100user accounts (“parent accounts”) can be created within this range.

For user subaccount numbers, the allowed range is 0 – 9999. Each parentaccount can have up to 20 subaccounts within this range, plus one “accounttotals” subaccount.

An account number is separated from its associated subaccounts by adecimal point. For example, Account 123, subaccount 67, is entered as

123.67

If no subaccount is entered, subaccount 0 is assumed.

For user accounts, subaccount 0 (zero) is defined to be the “account totals”subaccount. This is useful if, for example, you wish to assign an account toa department, and assign subaccounts to entities within the department.The total usage by all the subaccount entities will be accrued to the zerosubaccount, making it easy to determine the total usage by the department.Up to 20 department members can be accommodated in this way.

Lead zeros in parent account and subaccount numbers are non-significantand need not be entered, so 3, 03 or 0003 are all viewed as the sameaccount. For additional security, parent account and subaccount numbersshould be assigned as non-sequential numbers, randomly distributedthroughout the allowed ranges.

If a valid user account generates an error page, atest print, or a configuration sheet, such usage isalso charged to the generating account.

8825/8830 DDS User Guide/95

Job Accounting – Setup and Administration(continued)

Accounting can be used for:

• scan-to-net jobs, jobs that are scanned and stored on the internal harddisk for later retrieval over the network

• copy jobs, jobs that are scanned and then printed

• remote print jobs, jobs that are sent to the printer through one of thecommunications ports on the controller, rather than from the scanner.For details on the administration of Job Accounting for remote print jobs,refer to the Job Accounting Administrator Guide.

Under Job Accounting, each of these types of submission is accrued underthe appropriate system account as shown in the Account Definitions tableabove, and also under the account number of the submitting operator.

Users are charged for the area of media used, rather than the linear lengthused. On the display, the usage is reported in square feet if INCHES hasbeen set in the menu under CONFIGURATION/ LOCALIZATION/ DISPLAYUNITS, and in square metres if MILLIMETERS has been set. Internally, theusage figures are always stored on the internal hard disk expressed insquare decimetres. Usage figures written to a floppy disk are alsoexpressed in square decimetres.

Separate usage figures are compiled for Bond, Vellum (Tracing Paper),Film, and Scanned (scan-to-network) usage.

Plot nested jobs, that is, jobs that print multiple images arranged on a sheetof media, are charged for the calculated area that the images themselvesconsume. The surrounding white space area is charged to a special systemaccount.

Note: copy jobs cannot be plot nested.

Setting the job accounting modeNote: setting the job accounting mode from the DDS User Interface affectsjob accounting only for jobs arriving from the Scanner, that is, scan jobsand copy jobs. It has no effect on jobs arriving through one of thecommunications ports on the Controller. Such jobs are known as “remoteprint jobs.”Job accounting for remote print jobs is controlled separately through thePrinter Control Panel. Refer to the 8825/8830 Job Accounting AdministratorGuide for full details.

The job accounting mode may be set on the DDS User Interface to one ofthe following states:

• Disabled (factory default). In this mode, jobs are allowed without entry ofany job account code. Total usage of each type of media is still accruedin System Account 0.1 and in system subaccount 0.3. Total usage byscan jobs (scan-to-net) is tracked in system subaccount 0.1.

• Enabled. In this mode, copy jobs, scan jobs, and remote print jobs mustall have a valid account code entered, or the job is discarded and notprinted. The usage of each operator is tracked under that operator’saccount.subaccount number. Total usage is also accumulated in thesystem subaccounts, as shown in the Account Definitions table above.

• Optional. In this mode, operators may optionally enter a valid jobaccount.subaccount number for a job; such jobs will be tracked just asthey are when Job Accounting is enabled. Jobs without valid jobaccount numbers are accepted and printed. Their use is tracked just asif job accounting were disabled.

Restoring the account data from a floppy diskAccounting data previously saved to disk may be restored to the internalhard disk.

To perform these actions, use the RESTORE FROM DISK function,accessible through the ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATION screen.

To restore saved accounting data, use a floppy disk on which the data werepreviously saved using the WRITE TO DISK function, explained previously.

To modify existing accounts, add additional accounts, or install a newaccounting structure after deleting all previous accounts, use a floppy diskcontaining a file with the new account records. Please refer to Structure ofthe account file, explained later, for information about how to construct anaccounting file, and how to interpret the data it contains.

CAUTION

The RESTORE FROM DISK FUNCTION will overwriteexisting accounting data. If you wish to add accounts to theaccount database without the risk of unwanted change toexisting accounts, use the CREATE ACCOUNTS or theCREATE FROM DISK functions.

Job Accounting – Setup and Administration(continued)

Structure of the account fileThe information below describes how a valid account file is constructed.This format is used when account information is written to the floppy diskusing the WRITE TO DISK function, and is also used when it is desired toinstall or modify the accounting database using the RESTORE FROM DISKor the CREATE FROM DISK functions.

A floppy disk that is DOS formatted must be used.

The file is always named ACCTnnnn.TXT, where nnnn is a 1 to 4 digitnumber assigned by the operator or the person constructing the file. Thenumber should be unique with respect to any other accounting files, so thatconfusion does not occur.

Example: ACCT1004.TXT

Multiple accounting files are permitted to exist on a single floppy disk.

The file begins with a title record, which is the product numeric name,followed by a <CR> character.

8830<CR>

The next record specifies the units of measurement used for the mediausage numbers. The choices are dm (for square decimetres) and ft (forsquare feet).

dm<CR>

Note: while all media usage data is internally stored as square decimetreson the hard disk, the units in the file may be in square decimetres or squarefeet. When this file is written to the floppy with the WRITE TO DISK function,the units will always be expressed as square decimetres.

All other records in the file are account records. Each account record hassix fields; each field is separated from the next field by a <tab> character.The record is terminated by a <CR> (carriage return) character.

The structure of the account record is:

account<TAB>subaccount<TAB>bond usage<TAB>vellum(tracing paper) usage<TAB>film usage<TAB>scan usage<CR>

For an example, a record might look like this:

523476<TAB>17<TAB>0<TAB>0<TAB>0<TAB>0<CR>

This record will create account number 523476, subaccount 17. Values forusage will all be initialized at zero. To create a parent account with nosubaccount, place a 0 (zero) in the second field.

To initialize a media usage value to other than zero, replace the 0 with thedesired value, and use the RESTORE FROM DISK function.

Note the CREATE FROM DISK function ignores the usage figures, andcreates accounts initialized to zero usage regardless of the usage values inthe record.The file may be created by using a word processor and saving the resultingfile as an ASCII text file. A spreadsheet program may also be used. Savethe spreadsheet file as a tab-delimited text file.

Accounting files saved to floppy disk may be imported into a spreadsheetprogram for analysis.

Job Accounting – Submitting jobs

Using the 8825/8830 DDS with Job Accounting

Submitting Jobs from the ScannerWhen Job Accounting is either enabled or optionally enabled from the DDSUser Interface, the user is initially shown the PLEASE ENTER ACCOUNTNUMBER screen. Enabling or disabling Job Accounting from the DDS UserInterface has no effect on jobs submitted over the network.

If Job Accounting is OPTIONALLY ENABLED, the user may:

• enter a valid account number and press the Enter key, or

• press the Enter key directly.

In either case, the READY... screen is displayed, and the user may scan andprint copies. If a valid account number has been entered, all usage ischarged to that account and is also accrued under System Account 0.1. Ifno account number was entered, usage is accrued only in the SystemAccount under subaccounts 0.1 (total system usage) and 0.3 (usage by jobswith no account number.

If Job Accounting is ENABLED, then the user must enter a valid accountnumber before the READY... screen will be displayed. The message ORPRESS ENTER is not displayed.

In any case, invalid numbers will be rejected, and the user will be asked toenter a valid number.

If a valid account number is present, the job will be charged to theuser account (and subaccount, if present), and also accrued to systemaccount 0.1 (total system usage). If no account number is present, the job ischarged to system account 0.1 and also to system account 0.3 (jobs with noaccount number), just the same as if job accounting were disabled.

Enabling or disabling Job Accounting from the Printer Control Panel has noeffect on jobs submitted through the Scanner.

Terminating use under an accountOnce a valid job account number has been entered, all use of the 8825/8830DDS Scanner is charged to that account. All usage continues to accrue tothat account until:

• the user presses the Exit key while either the READY... screen or a faultscreen is displayed.

• the FEATURE timer times out, due to no activity. The default value is 5minutes, but this value may be changed. Refer to FEATURE Timer inthe Reference section for information about changing the value.
