Media Optimization for Pre-Cut Tabs
Note
Media Optimization is only available on Xerox Nuvera 200/288 Perfecting Production
Systems.
Media Optimization for pre-cut tabs is available only on the Xerox Nuvera 200/288 Perfecting
Production Systems. This mode maximizes productivity when printing mixed media jobs that
include pre-cut tab stock or full-cut tab stock with a width greater than 8.5 x 11 inches (215.9
millimeters).
The number of images on the photoreceptor during a single revolution is referred to as a pitch
mode. There are different pitch modes for different paper sizes. There is a deadcycle (no image
on the photoreceptor) during a pitch mode change, which causes reduced productivity. In a tab
job, the body pages and tab pages have different pitch modes, which causes deadcycling each
time the printer switches from one page size to the other. When pre-cut tabs media
optimization is enabled, all pages are run with a single pitch mode to prevent deadcycling.
The throughput rate when Media Optimization mode is enabled is 240 impressions per minute,
regardless of whether the job contains tab stock.
Pre-cut tabs can be printed one-sided only. Full-cut tabs can be printed on both sides, simplex or
duplex.
To enable Media Optimization mode when printing imaged tabs:
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 the media for the feed trays and run job 1-N, face-down.
Note
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.
3. From the FreeFlow® Print Server user interface, select [Printer: Media Optimization]. The
window containing Media Optimization Switches displays.
4. Select [Pre-Cut Tabs] and [OK]. You are now in Pre-Cut Tab mode and the job will print up
to 240 ipm, regardless of whether or not the job contains tabs.
