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

The 8825/8830 DDS contains AutoIQ technology from Xerox Engineering Systems. AutoIQ enables the system to intelligently examine a sample of the document and to automatically make the image quality adjustments that yield a good copy even from poor original documents. AutoIQ also automatically detects the width and adjusts the centering of a scanned original for most documents. On the next pages, well look at each of the three components of the 8825/8830 DDS system. Then, you will learn how to ensure that the 8825/8830 DDS is ready to operate.

8825/8830 DDS User Guide/10 The Background Suppression area contains a means to correct for documents that contain poor contrast between the foreground image and the background. Four choices are provided: Auto (factory default) The selection uses a prescanned sample of the lead edge of the document to determine the foreground and the background of the document. The background is automatically suppressed. This setting works well for most documents. If the characteristics of the lead edge are different from the rest of the document, another setting may work better. Use this selection for documents with a dark background. The setting uses a prescanned sample of the lead edge of the document to determine the foreground and the background of the document. In this mode, the background is not suppressed, but the foreground image is improved to increase the contrast. This selection works best for documents with medium levels of colored background on opaque media, or for documents on translucent or transparent media, such as vellum (tracing paper) or film. The selection uses a prescanned sample of the lead edge of the document to determine the foreground and the background of the document. Off This setting produces a document that reproduces all the characteristics of the original document with minimum alteration. Choose this selection when the lead edge of the document is very different from the rest of the document. If Photo is selected as the Original Type, the Off setting is automatically selected. Maps with grayscale or color content may copy best in this mode.
All four settings may be adjusted further by changing the contrast setting under Copy.

Note: the DDS User Interface only operates when the Controller is switched on. The panel is not electrically connected to the Scanner.
Warmup
The Scanner requires about 2.5 minutes to warm up and initialize after the operator switches it on. During this time, internal circuitry and external communications 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 or you will obtain unsatisfactory images. At the start of the normalization sequence, the document drive motor will operate briefly in the reverse direction to ensure that no document blocks the view of the Document Hold-down Guide. Documents will not be accepted by the document drive mechanism until normalization is completed successfully. Once normalization is complete, the operator may insert a document, and the Scanner will transport the document to the starting position. This transportation of the document is called staging.

Making copies
When the display indicates Ready to Copy, the 8825/8830 DDS is ready to make copies. Initially, the display indicates that the roll of media that best fits the size of the original document will be automatically selected. The reduction/ enlargement setting is 100%, so the copy will be the same size as the original document. One copy has been selected. Many other settings are possible; these will be discussed later.
Note: if the document is not exactly centered, the 8825/8830 DDS will automatically correct the problem electronically, and the resulting image will still be correctly positioned on the output media. The Scanner may be set to leave the scanned document in the rear Catch Tray instead of transporting the document back to the starting position. Configuration settings are explained in the Reference section.

Adjusting Image Quality
Several adjustments are available to correct the image for problems in the original document. The key to effectively using the Image Quality adjustments is to first classify your documents as Line, Mixed, or Photo. Then, classify them according to the characteristics of the foreground image and background. Line documents contain lines or text against a highly contrasted background. Mixed documents contain both line elements and photo elements, or halftone images. Photo documents are continuous-tone or grayscale images. 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 foreground against dark background). If the document is inverted, refer to Special features and making special copies Transform Key for instructions on the INVERT function.
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.
Making copies
Adjusting Image Quality (continued)
Some documents require additional adjustments to obtain the best copy quality. Documents of good quality will usually give good copies on the first attempt. 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 of documents that are easiest to scan. What is a bad quality document? shows several examples of problem documents that require more attention. Scanning lists the different approaches to take when scanning good quality or bad quality documents. Preparing documents provides tips for getting documents ready to scan and for organizing them for efficient scanning.
A good quality document has all of these characteristics: High contrast between foreground (the image of interest) and background. The foreground may be color or black. Foreground is a solid, high-density black or dark color (or dark blue on a blueprint, or dark brown on a sepia). Foreground density is uniform. There is only one kind of foreground (for example, there are no pencil additions on a blueprint). If the document is of mixed type, the foreground is color. If the document is white on black or white on blue, the foreground is clear white or nearly white, and the background is a solid, high density black or dark color. Background is white or light-colored, and is free of speckling or other noise. Background density is uniform. The document has no creases, stains, tears or extraneous marks that the Scanner might interpret as foreground.

Adjusting Image Quality (continued)
What is a bad quality document?
Bad quality documents often require special attention to achieve a usable image. Fortunately, the 8825/8830 DDS incorporates special image processing technology that can extract acceptable images from documents degraded 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 pencil lines. Foreground has variable density: some parts are dark; others are light.

AutoIQ
The AutoIQ feature of the 8825/8830 DDS eliminates the need to make additional manual adjustments for most input documents. 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 may yield light and inconsistent copies. You can feed a different side that does have some white space first, or set the Background Suppression selection to a setting other than Auto.
Note: always load the side with both background and text or lines first. AutoIQ will use both the white and black information and automatically find the best settings. This will produce a sharp image and the file size will be smaller, too.

The Background Suppression feature
The Background Suppression feature has four selections: Selection Off Function Background suppression is disabled. Use this setting for documents that have a lead edge quite different from the rest of the document. For example: the lead edge contains a black border. This mode is automatically selected when Photo is selected as the Original Type. Contrast may still be adjusted by pressing the Image Quality - Copy keys. Use this setting for documents with colored or translucent background, with higher contrast between foreground and background than Dark documents, but less contrast than normal documents. Use this setting for documents with dark background, or with medium contrast between foreground and background. Scanner samples the first 0.7 in. (1.78 cm) of the document and assumes that the rest is similar. The entire image is enhanced, based on the characteristics of the sample. This setting is best for most documents.

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 to scan them. After being scanned and sent to the rear of the Scanner, rolled-up documents may not stack reliably in the Document Catcher Assembly. If possible, sort the documents you are going to scan according to these guidelines: First, group the documents by media type, e.g. blueprint, pencil, sepia and so forth. By scanning groups of documents that are the same type, you will minimize the number of control changes you make 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 and background quality (see the guidelines above). That way you can scan the good quality documents first, then focus on the bad quality ones, which will require more attention. Finally, sort the documents by size. When using preset or custom format sizes, the number of control changes is minimized.
Making copies
Reducing or enlarging documents
The image captured by the Scanner may be reduced to as little as 25% or enlarged 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.

For example, if an A size copy is required, on a 12 inch (30.48 cm) roll, feed the original with the short edge first, not the long edge first. If a B size copy is required on a 17-inch roll, feed the document with the long edge first, not the short edge first. The Scanner scans the document, and the Printer (if not already busy) prints the copy immediately. If the Printer is busy when the scan is made, the copy will be printed when the printer becomes available.
When the Scanner detects the trail edge of the document, the 8830 automatically cuts the media so that the copy is the same length as the original document.

Preparation In Sets Build mode, documents of C (A2) size and larger are normally delivered to the rear of the Scanner after the scan. If the CONFIGURATION/ SCANNER CONTROL/ DOCUMENT RETURN parameter is set to REAR, then all documents are delivered to the rear after scanning. The 7346/7356 Scanner is equipped with a document catching device 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 correct for E size (A0) sheets. Raise the bar for shorter sizes. 3. Slide the two catching assemblies in or out from the center. The outermost position is suitable for E size (A0) sheets. Adjust the assemblies more toward the center for smaller sizes. The front of the Scanner is equipped with a document organizer that is convenient for holding the collated set of original documents. The operator may then select one sheet at a time for scanning. 2

In COPY mode, documents are scanned, temporarily stored in memory or the internal hard disk, and then sent to the local Printer as soon as the printer is available. When the next job is scanned, the file from the previous job is automatically deleted from the hard disk, making room for new files. Operation of the system works as described in the previous sections. In SCAN mode, the image file created by scanning is stored directly onto the hard disk for later retrieval over a connected network by a remote system. 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 the file is retrieved by the Document Retrieval Tool (DRT) program running on a network-connected computer, the copy residing on the local hard disk is deleted automatically. For more information, refer to the Document 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 disk over the network. These other programs will copy, rather than move, the files, 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 specified for the FILE DELETION Timer, the system automatically deletes the file. To set the value for the FILE DELETION Timer, go to the Timers section of this manual.

After the scan is complete, the file is processed and then moved to the internal hard disk. The RAM space then becomes available again. This icon shows how much hard disk space is in use by stored files. As space is used, the dark area increases. When files are moved off the disk over the network to remote devices, the space becomes available again. Files are also deleted when the age of the file exceeds the value set in the timer. Refer to the FILE DELETION Timer section to set this value. The factory default is 24 hours. Menu

Component Tests
There are four types of component tests: MOTOR SPEED. This test uses Test Pattern 82E11490 to make corrections to the base motor speed. The pattern is stored inside the document feed shelf on the Scanner, and should be returned there after use. This alignment is used to correct magnification errors in the scanned image along the axis of the process direction. REGISTRATION. This test uses a black A (A4) size piece of paper as a test pattern. The alignment corrects for timing errors in the actuation of the Edge Present Sensor and the Edge Registered Sensor. Perform this test if the lead edge is not positioned over the clear aperture of the Platen Glass after the Scanner has transported the document to the starting position. INPUT. This test checks the electrical operation of the two edge sensors and the FORWARD/REVERSE switch. OUTPUT. This test checks the operation of the Exposure Lamp and the Drive Motor. COMPONENT TESTS

Job Account Administration can be performed from the Printer Control Panel, the Web-based PMT, or the DDS User Interface on the Scanner. For example, an account created on the DDS User Interface can be reset or deleted from the Printer Control Panel. When the Scanner Job Accounting mode is set to ENABLED, users submitting jobs through the Scanner are required to supply a valid account number before being allowed to do so. When the Printer Job Accounting mode is set to ENABLED, a valid account number must accompany any job submitted to the printer. If the account number is missing or the account is invalid, the printer will reject the job and print an error page. Setting a Job Accounting mode to OPTIONAL allows the user to track only those jobs that are identified with a valid account number. In OPTIONAL mode, all scan or print jobs are accepted. Usage not associated with an account number is tracked in a general System Account (0.3), while jobs submitted with valid account numbers are billed to the specified account. Setting a Job Accounting mode to DISABLED will disable the check for account numbers altogether. All usage is tracked in the System Total Usage Account (0.1). The Job Accounting feature is included in the 8830 DDS; it is an extra-cost option on the 8825 DDS. The option may be enabled at any time by sending a special software key file to the printer. Once the feature is enabled, it remains enabled, even if you later upgrade the system software in other ways. If you have an 8825 DDS and wish to enable Job Accounting, please contact your XES sales representative.
Account Definitions Definitions Total system usage from all sources and all accounts, whether or not Job Accounting is enabled [reserved] Tracks media used by jobs with no account number when Job Accounting is set to Optional, and all media usage when Job Accounting is set to Disabled. Also tracks media used for printing system-generated prints, such as test prints, configuration sheets, and error pages, when submitted by or caused by a job with an invalid account number. [Reserved] Total media usage for jobs printed under an invalid job account number. Such usage only occurs if an account number is deleted after a job is submitted, but before it prints. Normally, no usage should accrue. Tracks the media usage consumed by the surrounding white space on the page when plotnested jobs are printed. The users account or account 0.3, as appropriate, is charged for the media area consumed by the actual plot-nested images. Allowable range for creation of up to 100 user accounts * Each such user account may have up to 20 subaccounts, chosen from the range 1-9999. User subaccount .0 is reserved for storing total usage for that user account. If a valid user account generates an error page, a test print, or a configuration sheet, such usage is also charged to the generating account.
For user subaccount numbers, the allowed range is 0 9999. Each parent account can have up to 20 subaccounts within this range, plus one account totals subaccount. An account number is separated from its associated subaccounts by a decimal 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 to a department, and assign subaccounts to entities within the department. The total usage by all the subaccount entities will be accrued to the zero subaccount, 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-significant and need not be entered, so 3, 03 or 0003 are all viewed as the same account. For additional security, parent account and subaccount numbers should be assigned as non-sequential numbers, randomly distributed throughout the allowed ranges. 0.6 0.4 0.5

scan-to-net jobs, jobs that are scanned and stored on the internal hard disk 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 the communications 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 under the appropriate system account as shown in the Account Definitions table above, and also under the account number of the submitting operator.

For details about how the file is structured and how to interpret the data in the file, refer to Structure of the Report File, explained later.
Note the CREATE FROM DISK function ignores the usage figures, and creates accounts initialized to zero usage regardless of the usage values in the record. The file may be created by using a word processor and saving the resulting file as an ASCII text file. A spreadsheet program may also be used. Save the spreadsheet file as a tab-delimited text file.
Accounting files saved to floppy disk may be imported into a spreadsheet program for analysis.
Note: while all media usage data is internally stored as square decimetres on the hard disk, the units in the file may be in square decimetres or square feet. When this file is written to the floppy with the WRITE TO DISK function, the units will always be expressed as square decimetres.
In either case, the READY... screen is displayed, and the user may scan and print copies. If a valid account number has been entered, all usage is charged to that account and is also accrued under System Account 0.1. If no account number was entered, usage is accrued only in the System Account under subaccounts 0.1 (total system usage) and 0.3 (usage by jobs with no account number. If Job Accounting is ENABLED, then the user must enter a valid account number before the READY... screen will be displayed. The message OR PRESS ENTER is not displayed. In any case, invalid numbers will be rejected, and the user will be asked to enter a valid number.
Note: the 8825/8830 print drivers and Document Submission Tool (DST) software all have a feature that allows insertion of a job accounting number. Refer to the User Guides for these software products for details. If Job Accounting is optionally enabled from the Printer Control Panel, remote print jobs will be printed whether they have a valid account number or not. If a valid account number is present, the job will be charged to the user account (and subaccount, if present), and also accrued to system account 0.1 (total system usage). If no account number is present, the job is charged to system account 0.1 and also to system account 0.3 (jobs with no account number), just the same as if job accounting were disabled.
Enabling or disabling Job Accounting from the Printer Control Panel has no effect on jobs submitted through the Scanner.
When an account is no longer in use, the PLEASE ENTER ACCOUNT... screen is displayed.
Note: to avoid incorrect accounting, users should always ensure that the PLEASE ENTER ACCOUNT screen is displayed before leaving the 8825/8830 DDS for the next operator. Press the Exit key to obtain this screen.
