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.
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.
