Create a custom media type
Introduction
When you want to use custom media on your system, you first have to create a custom media
type in WebTools Express.
Procedure
1.
Select the [Media] - [Media types] tab.
2.
Click on [Create a media].
3.
Enter a name recognizable for the user. This name appears in WebTools Express and on the user
panel.
4.
Select the [Category] of the new media.
The media properties are automatically selected for the new media type. For more information on
choosing the right media category, see
Choose the right media category
5.
Select [Advanced].
6.
Enter a recognizable [Media type ID].
This ID will be displayed in the OJT ticket, so it is advised to align the media type ID with the
media name.
7.
Change the other default media properties when required (only for advanced users).
IMPORTANT
Changing the default media properties is at your own risk. Note that it can impact the
quality of the print or it can cause a paper jam. For more information, see
8.
Click [Ok] to confirm, or [Cancel] to reject your entries.
Result
A new custom media type is available on the [Media] - [Media types] tab.
To make a media type available on the user panel, you have to enable the media type. See
