Using the Pass Through Mode Feature

The Pass Through Mode (PTM) is only available on the Xerox Nuvera 200/288/314 EA/MX Perfecting
Production System, which is uniquely configured with two print engines instead of one.
The PTM feature is used to maximize print productivity in the event that only one of the print engines
is up and running. If a print engine is shut down due to a fault, image quality mismatching, or pending
maintenance, the PTM feature allows you to identify the print engine to use for continued printing of
simplex or duplex jobs. The other print engine will only be used to pass paper through the system.
Note
When printing with one print engine, the productivity rate changes from 200/288/314 ipm to
100/144/157 ipm. To always make full use of the system's productivity, make sure to disable this feature
once the idle print engine is serviced and available for use.

When to enable Pass Through Mode

The following are the circumstances under which you would enable this feature and print with only one
print engine:
• One of the print engines is out of toner
• Required maintenance on one of the print engines is awaiting service (for example, the photo receptor
belt needs to be replaced)
• Certain print engine faults or system faults
• The image quality between the two print engines does not match and you want to use the print
engine that produces consistent image quality
If you encounter the following circumstances, contact Service. Do not use or enable this feature if the
system is experiencing:
• Reoccurring jams
• Critical print engine problems
• Certain print engine faults
• Registration faults
