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.

Your Xerox service representative uses this feature to change
certain system settings. It also may occasionally be used by
system administrators.
Special Media Setting for
Drilled Papers
Special Media Setting for
LEF Tab Stock
Carbonless Media
Enablement
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:
If you use 3-hole, predrilled paper on a regular basis and
continually encounter an inordinate amount of paper jams, and/or
If you regularly run tab stock and continually encounter paper
jams.
• Carbonless papers are coated with several functional coatings
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.

Productivity Setting
1. Tools Mode
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.

• Aligner NIP Pressure: Use this feature with paper types
that slip and skew or have damaged edges.
Examples:
– Some coated paper types slip and skew, thereby
having the image misregistered on the output prints. In
this case, you may want to increase
the NIP pressure
in order to compensate for the slippage and skewing.

– Some light-weight papers may have too much NIP
pressure applied to them, thereby causing edge
damage to the output prints. In this case, you may to

1. Tools Mode
– If you are experiencing numerous 8-154 faults,
increase the NIP pressure and continue to run the

KEY POINT: Increasing the NIP pressure for numerous 8-154

service representative as soon as possible in order to restore the
digital press to its full feeding capabilities.
• Air Assist Operation Selection: Use this feature to
switch on or switch off the fans in a paper tray in order to
eliminate misfeeds, paper jams, or other possible tray
feeding problems. You can also select Auto if you want the
digital press to decide whether or not to switch on or off the
fans for a paper tray.
NOTE:The default setting is Auto.
Examples:
– If the digital press is producing multifeeds, try setting
this option to Operate (On) instead of Auto.
– If your output contains two sheets that are stuck
together, try setting this option to Operate (On).
– If misfeeds are occurring (the paper is not leaving the
tray) and the environment is too dry, try setting this
option to Do Not Operate (Off) instead of Auto.

Alignment Adjustment
When printing duplex jobs and using different media types
(including paper type, weight, and coating/uncoating), the output
may require specific handling by the digital press as it is moving
through the paper path. With certain media types and duplex jobs,
the images on Side 1 and/or Side 2 may be misregistered,
skewed, perpendicularly misaligned, or stretched.
As with the Custom Paper Setup feature, Alignment Adjustment
feature allows you to create and store a maximum of twenty
different Alignment Adjustment Profiles. These profiles allow you
to accommodate different media types and how the image is
registered, aligned, or magnified for Side 1 and Side 2
output. These profiles may be used at point of need in order to
ensure optimum output quality of your print.
NOTE: You can create Alignment Profil es without associating
them to a specific Custom Paper Profile. The reverse is also
true: You can create an Alignment Profile and associ ate it to a
specific Custom Paper Profile. For example, Custom Paper
Profile 2 may be affiliated with Alignment Profile 2, so that when
Custom Paper Profile 2 is in use, so is Alignment Profile 2.
1. Tools Mode
When creating Alignment Profiles for Side 1 and/or Side 2 prints,
be aware of the following:
• Side 1/Side 2 images may be misregistered because the
paper is not the exact same size. It may vary slightly, with
differences of plus or minus 1mm, causing the image to be
misregistered. To reduce the possibility of size differences, it is
recommended that you use paper from the same lot when
running duplex jobs.
• During the fusing process, the heat and pressure applied to
the paper causes the paper to stretch. If the images on Sides 1
and 2 are the same size, the stretching of the paper may
cause the image on Side 1 to be slightly larger than the image
on Side 2.
• Creating an Alignment Profile for these types of jobs allows
you to reduce or eliminate the images being larger on Side1
than on Side 2 prints.
NOTE 1:Remember: Your Alignment Profile may or may not be
affiliated with a Custom Paper Profile.
NOTE 2:Once an Alignment Profile is set and in use, your color
server will not reflect that profil e in the print options for print jobs.
NOTE 3:After an Alignment Profile is set, it remains active until
you reenter Tools Mode and switch it off. If an active Alignment
Profile is not ass ociated with a Custo m Paper Profi le, i t is us ed for
each paper tray to which it is assigned.
