If you are using a different driver, the documentation that came with your printer
might provide these numbers; look for a section on the PCL driver. Alternatively, if
you are able to capture the PCL data that is sent to a specific bin in your printer,
you can look for the bin number in the data stream. In some cases, however, it
might be just as easy to use trial and error to determine the correct mappings.
Again, keep in mind that PCL bin numbers can range from 0 to 59.
The second challenge is in determining the AFP bin numbers that correspond to
your printer. AFP bin numbers range from 1 to 255, and are not standard from
printer to printer. Some printers have hard-coded bin numbers: each bin on the
printer actually has a number written on it. In other cases, the AFP bin numbers
are more difficult to discover. In fact, the numbering scheme for some printers
changes completely when you add one of the optional paper bins, and still other
printers allow you to change the bin numbers yourself. As a result, it is difficult to
predict exactly what the AFP bin numbers for your printers are. However, there are
some guidelines that you can use.
v
Most AFP paper bins use numbers 1 through 10, with 1 being the biggest,
topmost, or bottommost bin.
v
Envelope feeders/bins start at number 65 and can go up to 69.
v The manual feed tray is usually number 100.
If you are printing to InfoPrint printers, the best place to find the default
numbering schemes for each printer is the
IPDS and SCS Technical Reference and the
IPDS Handbook for printers that use the AFCCU , both of which are available from the
InfoPrint Solutions Company web site at http://www.infoprint.com. (Under Get
support , click Product publications => IPDS Technical Reference and find the
IPDS and SCS Technical Reference and IPDS Handbook for printers that use the AFCCU
in the list.
If you find the AFP bin numbers for your printer in this documentation, be aware
that the number is written in hexadecimal notation. You must convert the number
to decimal before you put it in the mapping file. In addition, the numbers that are
