1.Tools Mode

Overview

The Tools Mode enables you to establish the default settings for your digital press to fit your individual requirements. You can change the settings for a variety of features, such as the initial screen to display when the press is powered on, the language to display on the Touch Screen, special paper sizes that can be used in the Paper Trays, timers, audio tone controls, default settings for scanner features, image quality settings, and more.

Entering and exiting Tools Mode

KEY POINT: Keep the following in mind as you learn about the

Tools Mode:

•If you attempt to access the Tools Mode while a job is printing, access to the Tools screens is delayed until the job completes the printing process.

•Jobs will queue, but will not print while the Tools Mode is active.

•You cannot access the Tools Mode if the digital press is in a Fault condition.

•You cannot access the Tools Mode if the Pause key on the Control Panel was pressed to halt a job. When the halted job completes the printing process, the Tools Mode may be accessed.

NVM Read/Write

Your Xerox service representative uses this feature to change certain system settings. It also may occasionally be used by system administrators.

	Under most conditions, this feature is not used by system
	administrators; however, there are limited circumstances under
	which this feature is used. These circumstances include:
Special Media Setting for	If you use 3-hole, predrilled paper on a regular basis and
Drilled Papers	continually encounter an inordinate amount of paper jams, and/or
Special Media Setting for	If you regularly run tab stock and continually encounter paper
LEF Tab Stock	jams.
Carbonless Media	• Carbonless papers are coated with several functional coatings
Enablement	which promote the image transfer through the form set and
	enable the form sets to separate appropriately after padding
	with a special adhesive. Each supplier of xerographic
	carbonless paper has developed their own unique chemistry,
	which is why the following procedure enabling this application,
	works best with Xerox Premium Digital Carbonless Paper.
	• In order to avoid problems when running carbonless media,
	you may use the NVM Read/Write feature to switch on the
	carbonless media feature.
	If any of the above conditions exist in your environment, you may
	use the NVM Read/Write feature to swich on a feature.
	CAUTION: Do not enter any numbers on this screen other than
	the ones described in this procedure. Entering and saving
	numbers, other than the ones described, changes the system
	settings which may result in a service call to restore the system to
	the correct settings.

Productivity Setting

The productivity of the digital press relates to the continuous speed of the media output as measured in prints per minute (ppm). The continuous speed is dependent on paper size, paper weight, and fuser temperature.

Use this setting to optimize the throughput speed for the type of paper you run most frequently. Productivity Setting options are shown and explained in the following illustration:

Single Paper Weight: This setting optimizes the throughput speed for light weight or heavy weight papers, according to the weight range that is set in the paper tray.

Mixed Paper Weight This setting optimizes the throughput speed of print jobs that contain mixed media weights from different paper trays.

All Weights Rated Speed This setting allows all print jobs to run at the same, or rated, throughput speed, regardless of weight. The digital press produces/prints images with a reduced level of gloss on the output.
