Specifying the input configuration
This section describes the procedures for creating, changing, and
deleting input tray configurations; selecting the feeder tray(s) for a
job; and indicating the media (stock) that is loaded in each feeder
tray. (For an explanation of the buttons on these windows, refer to the
“Buttons” section in the “Introduction to the graphical user interface”
chapter.)
When you specify the input configuration, you associate one or more
feeder trays with each IPDS tray that is called for in a print job. The
printer then feeds paper from all the printer trays specified for a given
IPDS tray. It stops and requests more paper only when all those trays
are empty.
You can create input configurations by organizing the stocks you will
use in a certain application or set of applications into unique groups
with different paper trays. This allows the host to access different
paper stock from each tray.
Note:
When configuring feeder groups, the printer feeds from any
of the feeder trays in the group, with no particular order to follow. In
other words, the printer will not necessarily start with the lowest
numbered tray in the group.
By placing media icons in the IPDS and Printer Tray cells on the Input
Configuration window, you communicate to the printer which feeder
trays to use for each IPDS tray the data stream specifies. At the same
time, you are setting up the Main window input section to display the
stock loaded in each printer tray.
