Xerox 721P88200 manual Input tray attribute considerations

IPS APPLICATION MIGRATION

•

•

Using the Configuration menu select the Maximum Simplex option.

Set the Maximum Simplex value to 0.

The IPS system will start the first job in the plex mode of the first sheet received.

•

•

If the initial mode is duplex, and a subsequent sheet is received in simplex, blank back sheets are printed until the maximum simplex value is reached. If the maximum simplex value has been set to zero, the printer shifts to simplex mode immediately. Shifting to simplex causes the printer to clear the paper path of all duplex sheets prior to printing the first simplex sheet.

If the initial mode is simplex and a subsequent sheet is received in duplex, the printer will immediately start to print in duplex. (The maximum simplex value has no relevance in this case.)

Input tray attribute considerations

If you have programmed applications to use stock from specific input trays using FORMDEFs, you should pay close attention to the attributes given to the printer input trays. Media (tray) attributes can be set to simplex or duplex. These attributes are set on the Input Configuration panel. Each individual tray is set to contain media defined as simplex or duplex. (See the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for your printer for specific directions on setting input configurations.)

A tray loaded with media defined as simplex will cause the printer to print all sheets from that tray in simplex. A tray loaded with media defined as duplex will cause the system to print all pages fed from that tray as requested by the job, switching between simplex or duplex seamlessly. (The printer may or may not require dead cycles, or clearing of the paper path.) Therefore, if a tray loaded with special stock must print in simplex, it will print correctly from a tray which has either a simplex or duplex attribute. However, if a tray loaded with special stock prints in duplex, the tray must have the duplex attribute for the application to print correctly. You may find the best procedure to follow is to give all input trays the duplex attribute.
