Page 1 1 Introduction The FreeFlow Accxes Client Tools (ACT) are used to send document sets to an FreeFlow Accxes supported printer and to retrieve scanned images that were scanned at an FreeFlow Accxes supported scanner. The FreeFlow Accxes Client Tools application runs on a Windows PC, or a Solaris workstation. See the ReadME file for the installed files directory structure, the system requirements, and the install/uninstall directions. The FreeFlow Accxes Client Tools User Guide also explains the basic system requirements, as well as the easy installation and uninstalling instructions. NOTE: Both the ACT and the FreeFlow Accxes Account Management Tool (AMT) can be installed from the same install software. Both ACT and AMT are uninstalled, when “FreeFlow Accxes” is chosen from the Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs Property screen. The installed ACT software has the following individual tabs: Document Submit, Printer Queue, Document Retrieve, and Device Manager. For FreeFlow Accxes firmware versions 7.0 and greater, the Accounting Tab is disabled. Instead, an external accounting server, such as the FreeFlow Accxes Account Management Tool, will track the job accounting data of multiple printers. This is done by the AMT retrieving the media usage of all printed and scanned images from the job log file, which exists in the Controller that is attached to each printer. Use the software’s Help screens, and the FreeFlow Accxes Client Tools User Guide to access Quick Starts and details of how to use the tools. Page 2 2 New in ACT Version 12.07.26 2.1 Vista Support Beginning with 12.7 AMT is validated and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Vista. 2.2 IPv6 Support ACT will now allow you to specify printers using IPv6 addresses and names of IPv6 devices. Page 3 3 Release Notes 3.1 Uninstalling FreeFlow Accxes Client Tools The FreeFlow Accxes Client Tools and Account Management Tool applications must be closed before running the uninstall software. (For Windows 2000, and XP, the uninstall is done by selecting Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove programs. Select FreeFlow Accxes and click on the Add/Remove button. This will remove both ACT and AMT, if they are both on your workstation. When the InstallAnywhere Uninstaller screen comes up, click on the Uninstall button. Select the Exit button when the uninstall is complete. (If you are using UNIX, see the FreeFlow Accxes Client Tools 9.0 User Guide for how to uninstall the ACT software.) You may also want to delete the Act folder, where your files were stored, if you do not need to access them anymore.
