  • Page 47 Problem Solving Booklet Size Limitations To avoid sheet misfeeds or jams, you should understand how booklet sizes, stapled and unstapled, are expected to be handled by the Xerox Nuvera. Maximum Booklet Sizes (in sheets) For stapled sets: For best results, the maximum booklet size (number of sheets that make up the booklet) is 15 sheets of 80gsm paper (or 14 sheets of 80gsm, and 1 sheet of 200gsm cover stock).
  • Page 48 Using Offset to Separate Documents in a Stack Printing large volumes of documents is not a problem for the Xerox Nuvera. However, sorting and delivering those documents to people is difficult and time consuming if the output is all in one stack. You can program your jobs to include offset for finishers that have stacking capabilities.
  • Page 49 Making Folded Documents For those Xerox Nuvera systems that include a Multifunction Finisher (MFF), you will have C and Z-Folding capabilities for 8.5 X11 inch and A4 stock. All that is required is either an original document or print-ready file that is formatted for this type of output.
  • Page 50 Printing Pads You have the ability to produce printed pads on all Xerox Nuvera systems. Pads are typically single sheet forms, often with a card stock back cover and a glued binding on the top edge. Each sheet can be torn off the pad as needed.
  • Page 51 Enable/Disable Automatic Image Permanence for All Stock Weights The Xerox Nuvera is designed to optimize fusing performance across the supported range of paper types and weights. The BFM uses the paper weight programmed when loading paper to optimize registration and compiling. Enable the AIP selection from [System: User Diagnostics] to achieve the best fuse temperature and minimize curl in the stacked output.
  • Page 52 Using the Basic Finishing Module (BFM) NOTE: When running smaller stapled sets (15 sheets or less), limit the quantity to 100 maximum. Unload the stacker after each quantity is completed. Set BFM Registration Values Paper registration at the BFM is impacted by curl. Follow the steps below to improve paper registration quality at the BFM for each BFM on the system.
  • Page 53 Using the Basic Finishing Module (BFM) 5. Close the Elevator Tray. Related Hints and Tips Tab behaviors for non-MFF systems only On non-MFF systems, tab jobs are delivered to the finisher face down in 1 to N order. As such, the following must be noted: Tabs must be loaded in the feeder tray in 1 to N order (commonly referred to as forward-ordered tabs) There are no special loading instructions required for drilled or pre-printed stock.
  • Page 54 If you have a 3rd party finisher attached to your system, you will also have a Finishing Transport Module (FTM). The FTM is an interface between the main printing area of the Xerox Nuvera EA Production System or Xerox Nuvera 288 Perfecting System and a DFA-compliant finishing device of some type, such as a stapler, binder, booklet maker or folder.
  • Page 55 For information about FTM specifications, see Finishing Transport Module (FTM) Specifications.

  • Page 56 Using the Multifunction Finisher (MFF) Pro Plus Using the MFF Pro Plus allows you to finish your jobs using the same features available on the MFF Professional but also includes an insertion module that offers these additional finishing features: An Insertion Tray for inserting preprinted tabs, covers and colored sheets into your job A 2/3 or 2/4 Hole Punch capability To Insert Preprinted Sheets on the MFF Pro Plus To insert covers, preprinted tabs or colored paper into your job, follow these steps:...
  • Page 57 Finishing NOTE: If you have a MFF with hole punch and both the 2/3 and 2/4 hole punch dies, any job programmed for 2 hole punch will punch with either die loaded. Be sure the appropriate hole punch die is loaded before submitting the job. On a 2/4 hole punch, the two center holes are 80 mm apart.
  • Page 58 Adjusting Image Quality The Xerox Nuvera user interface contains a set of Image Quality adjustment tools for Copy, Scan to File and Print jobs. Using these controls, you can make adjustments to images containing text, photographic images, halftoned images, as well as documents with mixed image types.
