The throughput rate when Media Optimization Switches is set to Large Stock will be consistent with the rate of the
largest stocks encountered. Therefore, for jobs containing a low percentage of larger stocks make sure Media
Optimization Switches is set to Normal. This allows the printer to re-adjust to the higher print speed of smaller stock.
To enable Large Stock mode:
1. From the FreeFlow Print Server user interface, select [Printer: Media Optimization]. The window containing Media
Optimization Switches displays.
2. Select [Large Stock] and [OK]. You are now running in Large Stock mode and the job will adjust print speed when
encountering larger stocks but not re-adjust for smaller stocks.
3. When you finish running jobs that include predominantly large stocks, make sure you clear Large Stock mode by selecting
[Printer: Media Optimization] and then selecting [Normal] from the Media Optimization Switches dialog.
Optimizing productivity for jobs containing wide stocks measuring 9" - 9.5" process direction
For printing systems that do not use the Basic Finishing Module (BFM), selecting Wide Stocks – Optimize Print Speed will result in
these stock sizes running at a rate of 240 ipm as opposed to 192 ipm when not selected. When trying to select this mode for machines
with the BFM, a fault status is raised which prevents the printer from running. The Wide Stocks selection must be cleared to lower this
fault. With the BFM, the maximum rate is 192 ipm for these stock sizes.
To enable Wide Stocks mode:
1. From the FreeFlow Print Server user interface, select [Printer: Media Optimization]. The window containing all selections
displays. Wide Stocks is above the area containing Media Optimization Switches.
2. Select [Wide Stocks (9.0 - 9.5" process direction) – Optimize Print Speed] and [OK]. You are now running in Wide Stocks
mode which allows the printer to run these stock sizes at a print rate of 240 ipm.
There is no need to clear the Wide Stocks selection unless problems are encountered running these stock sizes. The Wide Stocks
mode can be left on permanently.
Optimizing job recovery for jobs containing Serialized Stocks
You can print jobs using serialized stocks, such as checks or statements, and disable auto system job recovery. The system will require
more active operator intervention to manually insure proper job recovery following system shutdowns. A message will indicate when
this media optimization mode is enabled.
If a system fault condition occurs and requires a dynamic purge of sheets, the machine will shut down after the purge is completed.
Similarly, if the system shuts down hard with a fault condition, after clearing the jam the system will cycle up, purge the paper path
contents, and shut down again. After both of these two types of conditions, a status message will display to instruct the operator about
job recovery. Be sure to disable Serialized Stock Mode when finished to restore full auto job recovery.
To enable Serialized Stocks mode:
1. From the FreeFlow Print Server user interface, select [Printer: Media Optimization]. The window containing all selections
displays. Serialized Stock is above the area containing Media Optimization Switches.
2. Select [Serialized Stock Mode] and [OK]. You are now running in Serialized Stock mode which will print your job as
programmed and will only prompt you for job recovery assistance following a system fault condition.
3. When you have completed running jobs that include serialized stock, make sure you exit the Serialized Stock mode by
selecting [Printer: Media Optimization] and clearing [Serialized Stock Mode] from inside the window containing the
selections.
