For the Xerox Nuvera® 288 Perfecting System - Using Media Optimization mode for tabs
You can print jobs that contain a mix of sizes and media, including full-cut and pre-cut tabbed stock. If you need to print a job containing 8.5 x 11 inch
paper, for example, containing 9 x 11 inch or A4 pre-cut tabs to be imaged, you must first enable the
Pre-Cut Tabs
selection from the
Media
Optimization
mode in the user interface. This provides you with the best throughput and productivity rate when printing with tabbed stock.
Use
Media Optimization
mode to increase your job's productivity rate otherwise affected by printing the tab portion of a duplex job, especially pre-cut
tabs.
To enable Media Optimization mode when printing with tabs to be imaged:
●
If printing on 8.5x11" tabs, set the properties for the tabs as single-sided Exception Pages and set image shift to 1/2".
●
If using preprinted tabs, add as Inserts.
●
If the job uses hole-punched tabs and hole-punched body stock, make sure the both stocks are loaded in the tray with the hole-punched
edge leading.
●
The system assumes tabs are right-edge portrait or bottom-edge landscape. If the job is different you may need to select [
rotate 180
] for the
entire job.
●
If using Build Job to program the tabs job, select Build Job Type: Contains Tab Stock or Envelopes.
●
Tabs can be loaded in the Insertion Module.
●
If you are running a job that does not contain tabs, select
Normal Mode
from the
Media Optimization Switches
for the best throughput rate.
●
If you are printing on any size pre-cut tabbed stock, or printing on full-cut tabbed stock greater than 8.5 inches (215.9 mm) in the process
direction, select
Pre-Cut Tabs
from the
Media Optimization Switches
window.
1. Load paper according to the labels on the feed Trays (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with 1 being on top) with the tabs on the trail edge. If the job uses hole-
punched tabs and hole-punched body stock, make sure both stocks are loaded in the tray with the hole-punched edge leading. Use only
forward collated tabs.
2. Program media for the feed trays and run job 1-N, face-down.
3. The system assumes tabs are right-edge portrait or bottom-edge landscape. If the job is different, you may need to select [
rotate 180
] for the
entire job.
4. From the FreeFlow Print Server user interface, select [
Printer: Media Optimization
]. The window containing
Media Optimization Switches
displays.
5. Select [
Pre-Cut Tabs
] and [
OK
]. You are now running in Pre-Cut Tab mode and the job will print up to 240 ipm, regardless of whether or not
the job contains tabs.
6. When you finish running jobs that include cut tabs, make sure you disable Pre-Cut Tab mode by first selecting [
Printer: Media Optimization
]
and then [
Normal
] from the
Media Optimization Switches
dialog.
NOTE
: If you are printing a job with preprinted tabs, program the job using Exception Pages/inserts. For more information on printing with
preprinted tabs, refer to
Adding Pages to your Document
. For information on printing with preprinted tabs on a Multifunction Finisher Pro Plus,
refer to
Multifunction Finisher Specifications.
CAUTION!
The maximum throughput rate when the Media Optimization Switch is set to Pre-Cut Tabs is 240 ipm, regardless of whether the job
contains tabbed stock. Therefore, make sure the Media Optimization Switch is set to Normal Mode when printing jobs without cut tabs
or if the tabbed stock is smaller than 8.5 inches (215.9mm).
