Power Saver Mode

The Power Saver feature allows the press to enter a reduced power consumption mode when all print jobs have completed and there are no jobs currently processing. There are two power saving modes: Low Power and Sleep.

•Low Power: After remaining inactive for a preset time period, the press enters the Low Power mode.

•Sleep: After entering Low Power mode and remaining inactive for another preset time period, the press enters the Sleep mode.

By default, the press automatically enters the Low Power mode after 15 minutes of inactivity. After 30 minutes of inactivity, the press then enters Sleep mode. These time intervals for both modes can be changed by the system administrator.

Refer to the following example:

•Low Power Mode is set to 1 minute.

•Sleep Mode is set to 10 minutes.

•Sleep Mode activates after 10 minutes of total inactivity, and not 10 minutes after the Low Power Mode begins.

Low Power Mode

In this mode, the power to the Control Panel and fuser unit is lowered to save power. The display goes out and the Power Saver button on the Control Panel lights.

To exit the Low Power Mode, press the Power Saver button. The Power Saver button is no longer lit, indicating that the Power Saver feature is canceled.

Sleep Mode

In this mode, the power is lowered more than in the Low Power mode. The display goes out and the Power Saver button on the Control Panel lights.

To exit the Sleep Mode, press the Power Saver button. The Power Saver button is no longer lit, indicating that the Power Saver feature is canceled.

Exiting Power Saver Mode

The press exits Power Saver mode by pressing the Power Saver button on the Control Panel or when receiving print data from an incoming job.

Paper and Media

Matching the Tray and Stock Information

Important: To ensure maximum productivity and successful job completion, always verify that the Tray Properties information on the PredictPrint Media Manager application on the print server matches the actual stock or media that is loaded in the tray being used for the print job.

Before running a print job, check for any of the following conditions:

•Modifications were made to the Stock Library, such as:

–Adding a stock

–Copying a stock

–Creating a new stock

–Editing an existing stock

•Stock or media was loaded into the selected tray for the print job

•The tray selected for the print job was opened or closed

Note: If any of these conditions apply, verify that the Tray Properties information matches the actual tray contents.

If the stock loaded in the tray does not match the information on the Tray Properties window, then a message may appear on one or more of the following screens:

•The press User Interface

•The PredictPrint Media Manager application

•The print server

Tip: Stock or tray mismatch information and how it is displayed is dependent on the individual print server. If stock is changed in a tray, a message may not be displayed. Therefore it is important to perform the following steps always before running a print job.

1.Check for a tray mismatch message on the press User Interface. If a mismatch message is displayed, select it.

A new message displays and explains what media is required and the tray location.

2.Go the print server and check the main or home window for a similar message:

•If a message exists, follow the information provided on the print server to correct the stock mismatch issue, then continue to the next step.

•If a message does not exist, continue to the next step.

3.Load the stock in the tray.

If the User Interface on the press displays a mismatch message, to correct the mismatch, use the Stock Wizard.

4.Close the tray.

The Stock Wizard opens.

5.To change the Tray Properties to match the contents of the tray, follow the stock setup steps in the Stock Wizard.

6.Resolve all tray and stock mismatch messages.

7.Start your print job.

Paper Feed Performance in Trays 6 and 7

If misregistration or skew occurs on printed output that was fed from Trays 6 or 7, manual adjustment of the paper-feed levers may improve and correct the printed output.

Important: For most print jobs, these levers should remain in their default position. The position of these levers should be changed only if there is a skew problem when running a specific print job or media type. Changing the levers can cause more skew problems when running certain media types such as coated, label, tab stock, hole-punched paper, transparency, film, postcards, and envelopes.

The paper-feed adjustment levers are found in Trays 6 and 7. These levers are used to improve paper feed accuracy and to reduce paper skew problems.

1. Rear Paper-feed Adjustment Lever

2. Right-side Paper-feed Adjustment Lever

Improving Paper Feed Performance in Trays 6 and 7

1. Open the tray by pulling it out slowly until it stops.

2.Ensure that the desired paper is loaded into the tray.

3.Go to the PredictPrint Media Manager application on the print server. On the Tray Properties window, verify the correct paper information, such as size, type, weight, and paper curl or alignment option for the tray.

7.After the print job finishes, open the tray and return the rear paper-feed adjustment lever to its default position by sliding it to the left.

Leave the tray open and continue to the next step.

8.Retrieve and evaluate the printed output; choose one of the following:

•The paper is fed accurately without skew and the printed output is satisfactory. Close the tray and your task is completed.

•The paper is skewed and the printed output is unsatisfactory; proceed to the next step.

9.Adjust the right-side paper-feed lever:

a. On the tray, slide the right-side paper-feed adjustment lever toward the rear of the tray.
