Advanced Tab (Xerox)

Printer Accounting

The following options are available in the Printer Accounting area:

Enable

Turns on printer accounting.

Settings

Opens the Printer Accounting dialog box.

If you previously selected a printer firmware version earlier than 6.2, you are asked to enter an account number and a subaccount number.

If you have selected a printer firmware version 6.2 or later, you are asked to enter a user ID and an account ID.

Both dialog boxes allow you to save the information. If you do not save the information and accounting is enabled, you are prompted for the accounting information at plot time.

Mismatch Mode

Defines what is output if the media or media size requested does not match the media loaded.

Scale to Fit

The printer uses the largest media of the type selected that fits your printer. If all the installed media of the selected type are smaller than the print job, the largest media is used and the job is scaled to fit. If no media of the selected type is installed, the printer holds your job until the proper media is installed.

Block Printing

The printer holds your job until the proper media is installed.

Substitute Media

The printer substitutes the media type selected and prints on the size specified if it exists. If the size specified does not exist, the plot is set to Scale to Fit with the media type installed in the printer.

Plot Nesting

Nesting Margin

Specifies the space between the nested copies. Valid values are 0 mm through 25 mm (0 through 0.98425 inches). This option is available only when Nest Copies is selected.

Mode

Multiple copies of a print can be nested (printed together). Plot Nesting modes are

Off	No nesting.
Printer Default	Nest according to the printer settings.
Nest Copies	Nest multiple copies in a single print.

Rendering

Raster Halftone Method

Allows the selection of the binarization method used on multibit raster images.

Screen	Offers faster printing but may produce prints with a grainy appearance.
Error Diffusion	Generally produces a smoother print image.

Vector Minimum Line Width

Improves the visibility of fine lines. Depending on your printer's resolution, lines that are only a few pixels wide may appear light and be difficult to see. This setting allows you to set the minimum width of drawn lines from one to 10 pixels. Lines that are wider are not accommodated by Fineline Pixel Threshold. This setting has no impact on raster images.

Enter Account Numbers

When accounting is turned on and you have selected a firmware version of 6.1 or earlier, you use this dialog box to obtain your account number and subaccount number.

The account number and subaccount number must match values known by your printer. Your plotter administrator may add account and subaccount numbers using the printer’s front panel.

If you select Save Account Numbers, you are not prompted at plot generation time for these values. If Save Account Numbers is not selected, then you are prompted every time you generate a plot for the account and subaccount numbers.

Account Number

The account number must be in the range of 0 through 999999.

Sub-Account Number

The subaccount number must be in the range of 0 through 9999.

See your plotter administrator for your account number and subaccount number.
