Xerox 850DP - Phaser Color Solid Ink Printer Installation Instructions

AccXES Version 10.2 Installation Instructions 

Warning: 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 system. A feature key is necessary to enable them. 

The DFI Feature Keys can be purchased through Xerox Sales or an Authorized Reseller. See Step 

1 to determine if you have the appropriate controller.  

Note: For the Xerox 6050 and 6030 Wide Format products, one must activate the AccXES print server by 

downloading the appropriate print server feature key

.  

Warning: If the current AccXES Version is 8.0 or lower, upgrading to AccXES 9.0 will eliminate all existing 

feature keys. Once installation is complete, you will need to reinstall your feature keys. If you are currently 

at AccXES 9.0 or greater, your feature keys will be retained.  

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. Note: Use the HFT firmware as this will be the correct downloadable binary for PUN controllers.

Step 2 

Release Notes  

Download, print, and read the AccXES release notes (pdf format). The release notes can be found in the 

documentation section or by using the ‘See Also’ link.  

Step 3 

Check Disk Size and RAM Requirements  

Consult the Recommended Configurations Chart in the AccXES Release Notes 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 or by using the ‘See Also’ link. 

Step 4

Job Accounting Migration (if applicable)  

Warning: As a precaution, save your Job Accounting Data prior to upgrading. If you have AccXES 7.5 or 

greater 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 lower 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.
