Table 4-8: Page Device Parameters (Continued)

Key

Type

Definition

 

ManualFeed

boolean

Indicates if the current (or active) source is a manual source. The following values

 

 

are supported:

 

 

True

Manual feed

 

 

False

Automatic feed

 

 

If ManualFeed is set to True, and a change is made to PageSize, MediaWeight,

 

 

MediaColor, or MediaType parameters, no matching occurs. It is assumed that

 

 

the correct page is fed.

 

 

Note: ManualFeed is initialized at the start of each print job according to the

 

 

default paper source set by the operator panel menus or through PJL. If the

 

 

default paper source is a manual source, ManualFeed is set to True. If the default

 

 

paper source is not a manual paper source, ManualFeed is set to False.

 

 

 

ManualFeedTimeout

integer

Indicates the amount of time that the printer waits for you to manually load a

 

 

sheet of paper.

 

 

0 infinite wait or no timeout

 

 

If the timeout expires, a timeout error is generated.

 

 

This is initialized at the start of each PostScript emulation job to the value of the

 

 

Feed Timeout menu item value.

 

 

 

MediaColor

string name

Specifies the color of the current media.

 

or null

 

 

 

 

 

MediaPosition

integer

Specifies the tray to select, if possible, whether it is the best match or not.

 

 

Policies may be consulted to determine the selection. For example, assume

 

 

there is legal-size paper in Tray 1 and letter-size paper in all the other trays, and

 

 

the Policy for the PageSize page device parameter is 1. The command

 

 

<< /PageSize [612 1008]/MediaPosition 1 >> setpagedevice

 

 

selects Tray 2 even though Tray 1 is a perfect match, because the PageSize

 

 

Policy of 1 allows the PageSize to be ignored.

 

 

 

MediaType

string name

Indicates the type of the current media. The value of the string is arbitrary and

 

or null

may describe any attribute not already defined by size, color, or weight.

 

 

 

MediaWeight

integer or

Specifies the weight of the current media in g/m2. The value is either null or a

 

null

number.

 

 

 

 

NumCopies

integer or

Specifies the number of copies of each page that should be printed. If the value is

 

null

null, the current value of #copies determines the number of copies to print.

 

 

 

Nup

boolean

Determines if Nup is On or Off. Use the Nup function to print multiple page

 

 

images on a single page, where the value of N refers to the number of pages. For

 

 

example, 2-Up means two page images are printed on one page.

 

 

True

Nup is On and the NupDetails parameters are active.

 

 

False

Nup is Off.

 

 

For some printers, the value of Nup is set through the Multipage Printing menu

 

 

item. For more information about multipage printing (Nup), see your printer

 

 

documentation.
