Work with the workflow profiles
Work with the workflow profiles
Introduction
The machine is used in different printing environments. Each environment requires other settings
to optimize the workflow or to meet your personal workflow preferences. The machine contains a
number of default workflow profiles to help you optimize your workflow. The default workflow
profiles are combinations of frequently used settings for print jobs ([Receive], [Print] and
[Output]). However, the workflow profiles cannot cover all the possible workflows you may need.
Therefore, you can also define the settings individually (custom workflow).
This section makes recommendations about when to use which workflow profile. Furthermore,
this section describes the settings and the effects of the settings.
NOTE
The [Workflow profile] button in the [Setup] section of the [System] view displays the name of
the selected workflow profile. When you customized the settings of a workflow profile, the
button displays the text [Custom].

[Jobs]
Each printed job that is delivered to an output location is
stacked on top of the previous printed job with an offset.
This helps you to identify the various jobs.
[Sets (always)]
The offset stacking is defined per N sets. By default, this
number is 1. If a number is specified, this specified number of printed sets of a job will be delivered to an output
location in one straight stack, the next number of printed
sets are stacked with an offset. When the number of requested sets in a job is lower than or equal to N, the sets
are not stacked with an offset. However, the whole job is
stacked with an offset with respect to the previous job.
[Sets (as in job)]
Each printed set is delivered to the output location as indicated in the job ticket. Therefore, the sets can be
stacked in one straight line or with an offset.
[Banners]
Each banner page of a job is delivered to the output location with an offset. This helps you to identify the separate jobs. The jobs themselves are stacked in one
straight line.

Introduction to the media handling
Introduction to the media handling
Introduction
The machine supports a wide range of media, including tabs and inserts. The supported media
sizes range from 8 x 8 inch (minimum) to 12.5 x 19.2 inch (maximum). The supported media
weights range from 33 - 202 lb bond for media that are recommended by the manufacturer, and
40 - 135 lb bond for other media.
This section describes the following:
• Media handling in general
• The [Media catalog]
• Temporary media.
NOTE
You can place all the supported media in any paper tray.
General introduction to the media handling
All the print jobs require media that you can assign to the paper trays via the operator panel. The
print jobs can require media that are included in the [Media catalog]. However, the print jobs can
also require media that are not included in the [Media catalog]. These media become temporary
media on the system.
What is the [Media catalog]
The [Media catalog] is a list of predefined media and media attributes which you can define in the
Settings Editor application on the controller. The use of the [Media catalog] is only
recommended, not compulsory.
When you use the [Media catalog], the operator panel, the printer drivers and other applications
all display the same list of predefined media. The operator panel and the printer driver
automatically retrieve and show the latest version of the [Media catalog].
NOTE
Refer to the Online Help of the Settings Editor for information about the media attributes that
you can define. The Online Help also describes how to adapt the [Media catalog] (add, edit or
delete media).
What are temporary media
You can also use many other media that are not included in the [Media catalog]. These media
become temporary media. You can look up the currently used temporary media in the [Media]
section of the [System] view. Furthermore, you can assign the temporary media to a paper tray.
The temporary media remain available on the system until:
• No more waiting jobs need this media type
• No more scheduled jobs need this media type
• No more printed jobs need this media type
• This media type is no longer available in the paper trays.
When you plan to use these media more often, you can add these temporary media to the [Media
catalog] Add temporary media to the Media catalog on page 64.
Chapter 6 - Media handling
63
Add temporary media to the [Media catalog]
Add temporary media to the [Media catalog]
Introduction
When a job is submitted that requires media that are not included in the [Media catalog], these
media become temporary media. The operator panel displays the temporary media in the
following places.
• In the list of [Required media] in the [Schedule] view, when the job is scheduled for printing.
• In the list of [Temporary media] in the [Media] tab of the [System] view.
When you plan to use a temporary media more often, you can add the media to the [Media
catalog].
This section describes how to add temporary media to the [Media catalog].
Procedure
1. Touch [System] -> [Media].
The names of the temporary media are displayed in the section.
2. Select the media you want to add to the [Media catalog].
3. Press [To catalog].
The media is added to the [Media catalog].
NOTE
If required, you can edit the attributes of the media in the [Media catalog] that is part of the
Settings Editor.

Chapter 6 - Media handling
Perform a media registration for standard-size media - Print the test sheets and create the ruler
Perform a media registration for standard-size media Print the test sheets and create the ruler
Introduction
The different properties of media can influence the alignment of images when the media are
printed. To ensure a correct alignment, you can perform a media registration for each individual
media in the [Media catalog]. The following values will be measured.
• The Z-position of side 1
• The X-length of side 1
• The Z-position of side 2
• The X-position of side 1
• The X-position of side 2.
For each media registration, a paper ruler and 3 test sheets will be printed. Depending on the
regional setting in the Settings Editor, the paper ruler is printed on A4 or Letter. You can use the
first printed sheet to create the paper ruler. However, you can also use a universal ruler of your
own. The ruler must be long enough to carry out the measurements. You must carry out each
measurement on all 3 test sheets. The system calculates the average value of the measurements.
This section describes how to perform a media registration for standard-size media (media with a
length of less than 390 mm / 15.35").
NOTE
It is recommended to perform the media registration when the list of [Scheduled jobs] is empty.
Before you begin

Press [Registration].
When a maintenance PIN is defined in the Settings Editor, a numerical keyboard appears.
5. Enter the maintenance PIN to start the wizard.
NOTE
The following procedures often refer to the start of the ruler. The start of the ruler is the line
where the shaft of the arrow starts.
Procedure
1. Read the introduction on the screen. Then press [Next].
The printed test sheets go to the system output.
2. Take the first printed sheet.
3. Fold the sheet along the line 'B-H' on side 1.

Introduction
The different properties of media can influence the alignment of images when the media are
printed. To ensure a correct alignment, you can perform a media registration for each individual
media in the [Media catalog]. The following values will be measured.
• The Z-position of side 1
• The X-length of side 1
• The Z-position of side 2
• The X-position of side 1
• The X-position of side 2.
For each media registration, a paper ruler and 3 test sheets will be printed. Depending on the
regional setting in the Settings Editor, the paper ruler is printed on A4 or Letter. You can use the
first printed sheet to create the paper ruler. However, you can also use a universal ruler of your
own. The ruler must be long enough to carry out the measurements. You must carry out each
measurement on all 3 test sheets. The system calculates the average value of the measurements.
This section describes how to perform a media registration for large media (media with a length
of 390 mm / 15.35" or more).
NOTE
It is recommended to perform the media registration when the list of [Scheduled jobs] is empty.
Before you begin

Press [Registration].
When a maintenance PIN is defined in the Settings Editor, a numerical keyboard appears.
5. Enter the maintenance PIN to start the wizard.
NOTE
The following procedures often refer to the start of the ruler. The start of the ruler is the line
where the shaft of the arrow starts.
Procedure
1. Read the introduction on the screen. Then press [Next].
The printed test sheets go to the system output.
2. Take the first printed sheet.
3. Fold the sheet along the line 'B-H' on side 1.

Chapter 6 - Media handling
Change the advanced media settings
Change the advanced media settings
Introduction
The advanced media settings enables you to print on certain special media.
When all the advanced media settings have their default value, the button for [Advanced media
settings] displays the word [Default]. After you changed one or more settings, this button
displays the word [Custom].
[Default] means that the [Low temperature mode] is [Off], [Double-sheet detection] is [On], the
[Enhanced media mode] is [Off] and the [Paper quality] is set to [Normal].
This section describes when it is recommended to change the advanced media settings.
Furthermore, this section describes how to change the settings.
When to do
[Low temperature mode]
• Pre-printed: The system is able to handle pre-printed media without problems if the guidelines
regarding pre-printed media and inks are taken into account. Contact your local Océ
representative to get a copy of these guidelines. In case media or inks are used that are not
listed in the guidelines, the use of pre-printed media can lead to undesired print quality issues.
To postpone print quality issues arising, a [Low temperature mode] is available on the printer.
It is advised to enable the [Low temperature mode] when there are problems with processing
pre-printed media. The interval between undesired print quality issues will then be increased
significantly (for some temperature sensitive inks, but no guarantee for all inks).
It is advised to enable the [Low temperature mode] when you process pre-printed media.
It takes several minutes until [Low temperature mode] is reached.
The [Low temperature mode] should not be enabled when you use media heavier than 120 g/
m2. This could lead to print problems.
• A secondary benefit (to pre-printed support) is to save energy. The preheater operates on a
lower temperature.
[Double-sheet detection]
Double-sheet detection warns you if 2 or more sheets have been separated from the media stack
in a paper tray at the same time. However, it is not always convenient to have the double-sheet
detection enabled, for example when you use transparent media with a cover sheet. Then you
can set the [Double-sheet detection] to [Off]. By factory default, [Double-sheet detection] is [On].
[Enhanced media mode]
Glossy media can cause a collating or stapling error in the finisher. You can set the [Enhanced
media mode] to [On] to prevent the error. This will decrease the productivity of the printer. By
factory default, the [Enhanced media mode] is [Off]. When you set the [Enhanced media mode] to
[On] and the printer status is [Printing...], the dashboard displays a message that the enhanced
media mode is enabled.
The [Enhanced media mode] is only available on printers that are equipped with an optional
finisher (see The output locations on page 29).
[Paper quality]
Good media is best run with the highest paper quality setting: [Normal].
Lower grade media with respect to paper dust, such as some book papers for example, can leave
more paper dust in the printer. This can lead to ghost images on prints directly after the black
image cleaning procedure or to ghost images of previous pages on prints. When you use lower
Chapter 6 - Media handling
79
Change the advanced media settings - Enable the [Low temperature mode]
grade media, you can improve the print quality, with respect to these undesired ghost images, by
changing the value of the [Paper quality] setting to [Low] or even [Lower]. However, this affects
the productivity by almost 5 and 10% respectively.
Please refer to the Troubleshooting chapter for more information (see Troubleshooting on
page 206).
[Paper quality test]
This test helps you to check if the correct [Paper quality] setting is set. In the Settings Editor, you
can select the media for this test. It is advised to choose the same media as used for the job. Or,
in other cases, choose media which covers the width of the media used as a minimum. When you
start the [Paper quality test], the printer sends 5 empty sheets of the selected media to the system
output. This is done after each of the next 5 black image cleaning procedures. Keep in mind that
this can last 2500, 1250 and 1000 sheets when the [Paper quality] setting is set to [Normal], [Low]
and [Lower] respectively. Then the test stops and the print job continues without interruption.
Check the last set (fifth) of the empty sheets to see if the [Paper quality] setting is cleaning the
print process properly. The sheets should show no pollution.
NOTE
When the system goes into standby mode before the [Paper quality test] has finished, the [Paper
quality test] starts again.

can be convenient when the participants of a meeting need several documents in a specific order.
Often, the required documents are sent from several workplaces to the printer in advance.
Normally, this means that you must print the documents first and sort or staple them later. By
using the bundle function you can determine the order of the documents before printing and
print all documents in the correct order in only 1 print job.
Important information about the bundle function
• You can only bundle print jobs that are currently in the list of [Waiting jobs].
• You can change a number of settings for the bundled job via the [Properties] window.
• By default, the number of sets for a bundled job is 1. So before printing, you must first indicate
the required number of sets.
• When you stop a job after a set, the printing stops after 1 copy of the complete bundle.
• The jobs in a bundle are accounted separately under the account ID of the original jobs.
• All the jobs in the bundle must have the same output location. Otherwise, the operator panel
displays a warning message. To change the output location, you must first split the bundled
job, then change the individual job settings and finally bundle the jobs again.
Main actions on the bundle function
The table below describes the main actions you can carry out with regard to the bundle function.

Description
[Bundle]
When you touch [Bundle] after selecting 2 or more jobs, a new job
is created that contains the original jobs. The new job is added to
the bottom of the list of [Waiting jobs]. The original jobs are removed from the list. The new job gets a new name that is based
on the name of the first job in the bundle.
[Split]
When you touch [Split] after selecting a bundled job, the job is
split into the original, separate jobs. The bundled job is removed.
The separate jobs are added to the bottom of the list of [Waiting
jobs]. You can use the [Split] function to correct mismatched settings, for example.

Introduction
Job tickets are used to transfer settings from an application to the printer. It can be convenient to
print a job ticket before printing a job, to get an overview of the main job characteristics.
Job tickets can contain the following information, for example.
• Job name.
• Job owner.
• Job destination.
• Job settings such as the number of sets.
• Required media.
Where to find the [Ticket] button
The [Ticket] button is available at the following locations.

Check the first set
Check the first set
Introduction
If you have a large print job and you want to check whether the job is printed correctly, it is
advised to check the first set before printing all other sets. When a job is sent to the printer, the
submitter can indicate in the job submission application that the first set must be checked.
However, the workflow profile that is selected on the operator panel determines how the printer
handles these requests.
Depending on the selected workflow profile, the [Check first set] setting can have the following
values:
• [On]
• [Off]
• [As in job]
When you use the [Check first set] function, the printed set is subtracted from the indicated total
number of sets for a job. For example, when you need 10 sets, the printer will print the first set
and then stop. When you continue the job, the 9 remaining sets are printed. This is different from
printing a proof.
Methods to check the first set
You can use 1 of the following methods to indicate that you want to check the first set.
• Use a workflow profile where [Check first set] is enabled. Then the printer stops after the first
set.
• Enable the function [Check first set] in the [Properties] window for a specific job only. However,
you can only change the [Check first set] setting there when a workflow profile is selected
where the [Check first set] setting is [As in job].

Automated workflows (access through the Settings Editor)
Automated workflows (access through the Settings
Editor)
Introduction to automated workflows
Definition
The Settings Editor enables you to set up separate automated workflows. Automated workflows
are print queues that you can program to perform a range of operations. Automated workflows
are mostly used for legacy applications where jobs are printed automatically and certain settings
must be set automatically. Every automated workflow represents a different virtual printer with
its own specific attributes.
The selection of automated workflows is handled when the job is sent over LPR via the name of
the automated workflow of the job ticket. Once the job is sent to a specified automated workflow
on the printer, you cannot move the job to another workflow. The operator panel does not display
the various automated workflows. However, jobs can get a label that you can use as a selection
criterion for further processing and production.
The use of automated workflows has for example the following advantages.
• The print workflow is automated even more, which improves the productivity.
• The programming of individual jobs is eliminated, which optimizes the job throughput.
• You can more easily distinguish, prioritize and produce jobs in different automated workflows
with different properties using less operator involvement.
• You can easily assign legacy applications without job tickets to specific job profiles.
NOTE
You can define whether or not the settings of a job ticket overrule the settings of an automated
workflow in the Settings Editor.
NOTE
When the Settings Editor does not display the correct language, you can change the preferred
language in the Internet options of your Internet browser. The desired language must be first in
the list of languages.
Attributes
NOTE
It is not compulsory to define all the settings. When you put a check mark in front of a setting,
that setting and its values become enabled.

Use hotfolders
Use hotfolders
Introduction to hotfolders
Introduction
Technically, a hotfolder is a mapped network drive on a workstation that is linked to a shared
folder on the PRISMAsync controller.
For an operator, a hotfolder is a folder on a workstation where printable files can be dropped for
printing.
Hotfolders are primarily aimed at recurring PDF workflows. In these workflows identical PDFs, or
other printable files, with identical settings are printed on a regular basis. Hotfolders should not
be used in combination with print job tickets.
The job settings for hotfolders
The settings of a hotfolder can be defined by:
• a hotfolder default ticket in the hotfolder itself, or
• the automated workflow to which the hotfolder is linked.
It is advisable to use the hotfolder functionality in combination with the hotfolder default ticket.
However, if you want to use the settings of the automated workflow where the hotfolder is linked
to, it is advised not to place a hotfolder default ticket in the hotfolder, to prevent mixing up
settings. Furthermore, you must make sure that the [Overrule the job ticket] setting in that
automated workflow is enabled (tick the checkbox).
Before you can use a hotfolder
To be able to use the hotfolder function, the following steps must be carried out first:
• In the Settings Editor, the system administrator must activate the hotfolder function.
• In the Settings Editor, the system administrator must create a hotfolder and link the hotfolder
to an automated workflow.
• On a workstation, the key operator must create a shared network drive that is linked to the
hotfolder.
• On the desktop of that workstation, the key operator can create a shortcut to the hotfolder, if
desired.

Introduction
Hotfolders are primarily aimed at recurring PDF workflows. In these workflows identical PDFs, or
other printable files, with identical settings are printed on a regular basis. A hotfolder default
ticket ('default_ticket.jdf') in the hotfolder determines the settings for the print jobs. The name of
the hotfolder default ticket must not be changed, otherwise it will not be used in the hotfolder.
NOTE
If you want to use the hotfolder default ticket, make sure that the [Overrule the job ticket] setting
of the automated workflow in which the hotfolder was created, is disabled (no check mark in the
checkbox). Otherwise, the settings of the automated workflow overrule the settings of the
hotfolder default ticket.

Output recovery in case of an error
Output recovery in case of an error
Introduction
The Océ VarioPrint® 6000+ Line is equipped with an efficient, reliable output recovery in case of
an error. By factory default, the output recovery is set to [Normal]. After the error is solved, the
job continues at the page where the error occurred automatically.
However, some printing environments require that multiple copies must be avoided. For
example, in transactions involving the printing of valuable documents such as cheques. In such
an environment, the [Output recovery] setting of your IPDS setup must be set to [Suppressed].
When the output recovery is suppressed, the printer will not automatically recover output. All
pending pages in the printer will be deleted and the stack will be ejected. The host system and
the operator are responsible for the recovery. The operator must restart the job manually on the
correct page.
The tables below describe what happens when either the normal output recovery or the
suppressed output recovery is selected.

Handle the media messages - How to handle the [Media message] in the tray-to-tray mode
Handle the media messages - How to handle the [Media message]
in the tray-to-tray mode
Introduction
The media catalog
• contains a list of predefined media and their attributes
• is an essential part of the system behavior of the Océ VarioPrint® 6000+ Line
• helps you to print your jobs more easily while using the correct media
For transaction printing, the content of the paper trays (in terms of media from the media catalog)
is translated into a format that the controller understands. However, the controller receives only a
limited amount of information (name or size of the media). This can lead to miscommunication
where the controller misses a media requirement. The controller will then ask for the required
media via a message on the operator panel. This [Media message] indicates the name or size of
the missing media.
Your response to the [Media message] depends on the mode in which the printer works, either:
• The tray-to-tray mode, or
• The tray-to-media mode.
This section describes how to respond to the [Media message] for both modes.
NOTE
A [Media message] will only occur when the printer description language is PCL.
[49] Example of a [Media message]
Procedure
1. A message on the operator panel indicates that a media is missing. Select one of the following
actions as a response to the message.
• Press [Assign media].

Introduction
NOTE
Remote Service requires a license. Remote Service also requires a permission to an printer
dealer site outside the customer domain, either via a proxy server or via IP white list. Contact
your local IT specialist to give you the permission.
Remote Service is an application that runs on a printer. Remote Service requires a working
Internet connection to establish a secure connection between the customer's site and printer
dealer. In case a proxy server is present, Remote Service must be configured correctly.
Remote Service has the following functionality:
Functionality
Description
Remote Assistance
With this function, the printer dealer can take over the operator
panel of the printer remotely to assist in case of a problem for example.
Remote Diagnostics
When a customer contacts the printer dealer in the event of a
problem, the printer dealer can automatically retrieve service-related data from the printer for analysis and troubleshooting. With
these data, the printer dealer can quickly identify the source of the
problem and possibly solve the problem by telephone.
Remote Meter Reading
This function counter information needed for billing can be automatically sent to the printer dealer on a regular basis. Then the
customer does not need to collect the meter readings manually
and send these to the printer dealer. The customer can always
check the sent data and approve the meter readings.
Remote Software Upgrade
With this function, the customer can update the printer with the
latest software. The software is only retrieved from the printer
dealer when the customer wants this.
Using Remote Service
• In the Settings Editor, all settings for the customer's proxy server must be set correctly
([Configuration] -> [Connectivity] -> [Proxy server]).
• Via the operator panel, the remote connection must be enabled ([System] -> [Setup] ->[Local
key operator settings] -> [Remote connection] -> [Remote connection enabled] -> [Yes]).
• Via the operator panel, you can test the remote connection ([System] -> [Setup] ->[Local key
operator settings] -> [Remote connection] -> [Test Remote connection]).
The test can take up to 30 seconds. When the connection is not OK, a message indicates the
reason for the failure.
• The dashboard of the operator panel displays a red icon (see figure) when the printer becomes
disconnected from the Internet. Make sure the connection is online; otherwise, the printer
dealer cannot retrieve data from your printer.
• If required, you can change a number of connectivity settings via the operator panel ([System]
-> [Setup] ->[Local key operator settings] -> [Connectivity]).
• You can verify the communication with the printer dealer by downloading the audit log files
via the Settings Editor ([Support] -> [Logging] > [Save the audit log files]).

available for the puncher.
NOTE
The puncher is available in 2 versions: one version for A4 media and one version for Letter
media. A4 punchers require an A4 die set. Letter punchers require a Letter die set. You cannot
use A4 die sets in Letter punchers, or the other way round.
Die set summary
Each punching style listed in the tables below requires a separate die set. All the die sets can
handle media up to 216 g/m² (80 lb. cover).

Inspect the die sets
Introduction
Die sets have a life expectancy of approximately 500,000 punched sheets. The life expectancy
depends partially on the used media types. The life expectancy of the die sets can increase, for
example:
• When you observe the lubrication schedule (see Lubricate the die sets - Lubricate the punch
pins on page 177).
• When you punch the same media type most of the time.
• When you punch less cover stocks.
You must periodically inspect the die sets for wear. The result of the inspection can be one of the
following.
• The die set is not worn. You can continue to use the die set.
• The die set shows signs of wear. You must replace the die set.
NOTE
When a die set reaches the end of life, the die set can cause paper jams.
When to do
Inspect the die sets after 500,000 punched sheets and consequently each time you lubricate the
die sets.
NOTE
See Replace a die set on page 175 for information about how to remove and insert a die set into
the die set slot.
Illustration
[54] Inspect the die sets
Procedure
1. Put the die set on a table.
2. Put your hands on both ends of the die set and push the top plate straight down.
Check if the die set functions smoothly. If not, the die set is worn.
3. When the die set seems OK, insert the die set into the die set slot.
4. Run a number of sheets through the machine and inspect the holes.
• The holes must be clean and even. Torn or frayed edges indicate wear.
• The holes must be punched completely. Chips that are still attached to the holes indicate wear.
• The holes must be straight, evenly spaced from the paper edge and correctly aligned. Skewed
holes indicate wear.

Introduction
When a paper jam occurs in the puncher, the printer will stop printing and go on hold. The printer
operator panel displays a message that asks you to remove the sheets from the puncher. The
printer operator panel does not display the required actions step by step. Therefore, you must
check the following places for jammed media.
• The bypass
• The downward paper path
• The die set
• The bottom of the paper path
• The upward paper path.
Besides a paper jam, there are other possible problems the puncher can face. This section
describes the actions you must take to solve the problems.

Form Assist Module
Form Assist Module
Form Assist Module
Introduction
The printer allows you to print on special media with irregular thickness. Examples of such media
are media with glued-on (membership or bank) passes, folded media, or media with a slip
attached. When you load a stack of special media with irregular thickness into the paper tray, the
stack will tilt. When the stack tilts too much, it may cause paper jams. Therefore, you can only
load a limited amount of special media with irregular thickness into the paper tray.
The Form Assist Module is a device you can insert in your paper tray without modifying your
paper tray. It allows you to increase the media input capacity. When you use the Form Assist
Module, your stack of special media will stay straight. This allows you to load more media into
the paper tray and to increase your productivity. The Form Assist Module is delivered with
'Installation instructions'.
IMPORTANT
The variety of special media makes it difficult to predict whether the printer can process the
special media you want to use. Before you begin, test the special media and print a limited
number of sheets.

Overview of the possible toner pollution problems using media with high amounts of paper
dust
When you use media with a high amount of paper dust, you can have problems with toner
pollution of the prints right after the automatic black image cleaning procedure. Therefore it is
advised to enable the [Paper quality test] (see Change the advanced media settings - Start the
Paper quality test on page 84) each time when a new batch of media is used. This is to be sure
that the correct [Paper quality] setting is still at the right level for this new batch.
Toner pollution problem
Solution
Toner pollution on the first sheets af- • Change the [Paper quality] setting from [Normal] to
ter the automatic black image clean[Low] (see Change the advanced media settings ing procedure.
Change the Paper quality on page 83).
• Use the [Paper quality test] to determine if this new
setting is the right cleaning mode for this media.
• The sheets of the 5th set must be totally toner free, also at the edges of the media size width.
• When these sheets still show toner pollution, you can
set the [Paper quality] setting to [Lower] (see Change
the advanced media settings - Change the Paper quality on page 83).
• Use the [Paper quality test] to verify that this new setting is the right cleaning mode for this media.
