Using Media Optimization Mode on the Nuvera 288
You can use the Media Optimization Mode for maximizing productivity in the following job situations:
Pre-cut tabs
Small stock mixed with mostly large stock
Wide Stocks measuring 9" - 9.5" process direction
Optimization of job recovery for jobs containing Serialized Stocks
Optimizing productivity for jobs containing Pre-cut Tabs
You can print jobs that contain a mix of sizes and media, including full-cut and pre-cut tabbed stock. If you need to print a job containing
8.5 x 11 inch paper, for example, containing 9 x 11 inch or A4 pre-cut tabs to be imaged, you must first enable the Pre-Cut Tabs
selection from the Media Optimization mode in the user interface. This provides you with the best throughput and productivity rate
when printing with tabbed stock.
Use Media Optimization mode to increase your job's productivity rate otherwise affected by printing the tab portion of a duplex job,
especially pre-cut tabs.
If you are running a job that does not contain tabs, select Normal Mode from the Media Optimization Switches for the best
throughput rate.
If you are printing on any size pre-cut tabbed stock or printing on full-cut tabbed stock greater than 8.5 inches (215.9 mm) in
the process direction, select Pre-Cut Tabs from the Media Optimization Switches window.
The maximum throughput rate when Media Optimization Switch is set to Pre-Cut Tabs is 240 ipm, regardless of whether
the job contains tabbed stock. Therefore, make sure the Media Optimization Switch is set to Normal Mode when printing
To enable Media Optimization mode when printing with tabs to be imaged:
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 N-1, face-down.
3. 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.
4. From the FreeFlow Print Server user interface, select [Printer: Media Optimization]. The window containing Media
Optimization Switches displays.
5. Select [Pre-Cut Tabs] and [OK]. You are now running in Pre-Cut Tab mode and the job will print up to 240 ipm, regardless of
whether or not the job contains tabs.
6. When you finish running jobs that include cut tabs, make sure you disable Pre-Cut Tab mode by first selecting [Printer: Media
Optimization] and then [Normal] from the Media Optimization Switches dialog.
Optimizing productivity for jobs containing predominantly large stock mixed with small stock
You can print jobs that contain a mix of sizes and media, such as ledger size with letter size. When jobs contain mostly larger stock (>
50%) along with a smaller percentage of smaller stock, you should select Large Stock. In general, progressively larger stocks result in
a slower overall print rate. However, when smaller stocks are re-encountered during a job, the time it takes the printer to re-adjust to the
higher print speed of the smaller stocks can be a detriment to the overall print speed of the job containing mostly larger stocks.
When running Media Optimization for Large Stock, the printer will not re-adjust the print rate when encountering the smaller stock but
will instead maintain the print rate of the largest stock encountered even when printing on smaller stocks. However, the printer will re-
adjust the print rate for even larger stocks as they are encountered during a job and then maintain that print rate for all stocks. The
effect will be to achieve an overall print rate for the job that is consistent with the maximum print rate for the largest stock. The effect of
Large Stock mode will continue until the jobs are complete and the printer goes into standby. Unless Large Stock mode is cleared on
the FreeFlow Print Server user interface, all subsequent jobs will run in this manner.

jobs without cut tabs or if the tabbed stock is smaller than 8.5 inches (215.9mm).
