Media selection
Introduction
This chapter describes the system behaviour of the imagePRESS C7010VPS series concerning
media selections. Described is the definition and selection of media types at the application side
(driver, application), at the server side and at the printer.
The 10 selecting media attributes, the colour specific (media family) attributes and the engine
specific media attributes are very important attributes which determine the output result.
• Media family
The media family is used to select the output profile for the colour management processing.
• Media Type (surface)
The Media Type (surface) and the Media Weight determine the fusing setpoints of the print
engine.
The following media attributes have to be filled in by the operator for proper media handling
by the print engine
• Surface type: used by the engine to make the correct internal settings
• Grain direction: the direction of the grain of the paper. This item is used by the engine to
make the correct internal settings.
• Engine specific media attributes
Engine specific media attributes also influence print quality and handling. These attributes are
described in the Canon user manual.
See paragraph "Engine specific media attributes" for the naming of the engine specific media
attributes in the Settings Editor.
Generic media attributes
In the imagePRESS C7010VPS series, a media type is defined by 10 media attributes. These
media attributes are inspired on the PostScript pagedevice attributes.
See the table below for the 10 media attributes. These 10 attributes are used for selecting a tray
for a media type that is specified for a job.
Media attribute Type Allowed values
Name String Free string
Type String Free string
Width Integer Measurement unit is 0.1 mm
Max width = 3302
Height Integer Measurement unit is 0.1 mm
Max height = 4877

Colour String Free string
PrePunchMedia Integer 0 ... 999, or 0 for unknown
TabMedia Enum None / tab-inclusive

You cannot add media to the media catalogue that are larger than the maximum width and
height. The Settings Editor then adds the media to the media catalogue with the maximum
allowed width and height.
