Media selection
Introduction
Selecting an input tray is done using
setpagedevice
as described in the ‘PostScript Language
Reference Manual, Third Edition’.
NOTE
In PostScript 3, an input tray is selected by specifying media selection options (PageSize,
MediaWeight, MediaColor and MediaType), whereas in PostScript level 1 an input tray is
selected by the tray selection operators ( a4tray , lettertray , etc.) and the setpapertray operator.
Deferred Media Selection
Media selection is performed according to the Deferred Media Selection’ model (as described in
the PostScript Language Reference Manual).
This means that the
InputAttributes
key of the
setpagedevice
operator is null. The setpagedevice
collects the selection requests and saves them for use at a later time unless a spec contradiction
is detected.
You can select a format even though it is not necessarily present in the paper tray at the time of
interpretation (product dependant). If during printing this format is not present in the trays, this
will be handled the same way as for copy jobs, i.e. as a start contradiction. If you ask for a format
that is not supported, the behaviour depends on the product.
