Paper and Media
Paper and Media Overview
Before loading paper, consider the following:
• To define attributes for a stock, to add a new stock to the Stock Library, or to assign a stock to a paper tray for the print job, access the Stock Wizard in the PredictPrint Media Manager application on the print server. If you have restricted access, contact your System Administrator.
Note: The PredictPrint Media Manager is an application that is loaded onto the print server and is used to manage the stocks and paper trays for your press.
• By default, the Stock Library feature is available to both the operator and system administrator modes.
• Your System Administrator may restrict user access to change or add stocks.
• When you are loading paper, the Stock Wizard opens in the PredictPrint Media Manager application. The Stock Wizard guides you through the steps to set up the stock assigned to that tray.
Note: If the Administrator has disabled the Stock Wizard, then the Tray Properties window for the tray appears.
• The press supports the ability to pull different stock sizes and paper types from various trays and assemble them as part of a single job. To select multiple paper trays and insert different papers within one job, program this custom job at the print server using features such as special pages.
• The press supports Automatic Tray Switching, which allows a job to switch automatically from an empty tray to a full tray containing the same size paper, orientation, and stock type. For details on how to enable this feature and prioritize the order of trays to search on and use, refer to the System Administrator Guide.
