SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Specifying the input configuration
This section describes the procedures for creating, changing, and deleting input tray configurations; selecting the feeder tray(s) for a job; and indicating the media (stock) that is loaded in each feeder tray. (For an explanation of the buttons on these windows, refer to the “Buttons” section in the “Introduction to the graphical user interface” chapter.)
When you specify the input configuration, you associate one or more feeder trays with each IPDS tray that is called for in a print job. The printer then feeds paper from all the printer trays specified for a given IPDS tray. It stops and requests more paper only when all those trays are empty.
You can create input configurations by organizing the stocks you will use in a certain application or set of applications into unique groups with different paper trays. This allows the host to access different paper stock from each tray.
Note: When configuring feeder groups, the printer feeds from any of the feeder trays in the group, with no particular order to follow. In other words, the printer will not necessarily start with the lowest numbered tray in the group.
By placing media icons in the IPDS and Printer Tray cells on the Input Configuration window, you communicate to the printer which feeder trays to use for each IPDS tray the data stream specifies. At the same time, you are setting up the Main window input section to display the stock loaded in each printer tray.
