Xerox 510 AccXES Controller

Re: Xerox 510 AccXES Controller

My dear friend, if I was you, I'd be worrying about where to get Accxes CD for my 510, new scsi you can buy at any time but it'll never come in handy without Accxes preinstalled controller.
And by the way, how you determined that your scsi card isn't working with the printer?

Adaptec SCSI cards have a SCSI utility that scans the bus for devices.There are default settings for each of the 15 channels that can be changed as well, so far, that utility finds nothing.
When disconnected from the printer, Xerox 510, the card scans all 15 possible links. then boots the OS.
Yes, the 29160n card has windows 7 drivers installed.
When connected to the 510, it stalls, finds nothing, then boots the OS.
Xerox does offer all controller software for this system for Win 7.
But, again, that stuff will only work IF the device can communicate via their VHDCI cable.
So the problem, stumbling block, is communication, not software.

Ok, I wish you good luck with your Win7 controller.

Re: Xerox 510 AccXES Controller

A few points here:
The interface card: None of the Xerox wide format systems except the old 8830's uses a SCSI card. Instead, the interface card is a proprietary one designed by Xerox. Neither the controller or this card will function without using Xerox's proprietary OS.
Controller OS: All of the Xerox wide format controllers run on a proprietary OS designed by Xerox. While some versions are Lynx based, you can not use an off the shelf version of Lynx. The OS is loaded using a special installation disk normally only made available to authorized technicians. There are different versions of OS depending upon both the model of printer as well as the model of controller.
Hard Drive Recovery: You have to use a Xerox supplied recovery CD in order to reformat the hard drive on any of the wide format controllers. There is also a special procedure used for the recovery process. Once the hard drive is reformatted, the firmware for the particular model printer needs to be installed. Finally, the feature keys that enable functionality of the controller and certain features like PostScript need to be reinstalled. All of these steps have to be performed in a prescribed manner. All of these steps are described in the AccXES controller manual.
Recovery Kit: We can supply a kit of install CD, and instructions to perform a hard drive recovery for any model Xerox wide format printer / controller. orders@goevergreen.net

You will need an RS-232 connection to a PC, null modem, and gender changer for the serial connector. We can sell you the kit of instructions and installation CD. Email: orders@goevergreen.net

Re: Xerox 510 AccXES Controller

Hi,
I have Xerox 510 DP with AccXes Controller serial number starting: PUN xxxx
Error E7.01. Seems that HDD gone bad. So I'm looking for software to reload controller.

Re: Xerox 510 AccXES Controller

The E-701 error indicates the controller and printer are not communicating. Usually, this is due to a problem with the controller. The controller issue could be one of several different causes: Hard drive failure, mother board failure, Interface Card (P-193) failure, LVPS failure, or a corrupt hard drive.

As I mentioned in the earlier post, you will need a number of items, both hardware and software to reformat the hard drive. You will also need the manual. I can offer you a package of these items. Email me at cbyrne@iteminc.com
