Matching the Tray and Stock Information
Important:
To ensure maximum productivity and successful job completion, always verify that the Tray Properties information on the PredictPrint Media Manager application on the print server matches the actual stock or media that is loaded in the tray being used for the print job.
Before running a print job, check for any of the following conditions:
• Modifications were made to the Stock Library, such as:
• Adding a stock
• Copying a stock
• Creating a new stock
• Editing an existing stock
• Stock or media was loaded into the selected tray for the print job
• The tray selected for the print job was opened or closed
Note:If any of these conditions apply, verify that the Tray Properties information matches the actual tray contents.
If the stock loaded in the tray does not match the information on the Tray Properties window, then a message may appear on one or more of the following screens:
• The press User Interface
• The PredictPrint Media Manager application
• The print server
Tip:
Stock or tray mismatch information and how it is displayed is dependent on the individual print server. If stock is changed in a tray, a message may not be displayed. Therefore it is important to perform the following steps always before running a print job.
1. Check for a tray mismatch message on the press User Interface. If a mismatch message is displayed, select it.
A new message displays and explains what media is required and the tray location.
2. Go the print server and check the main or home window for a similar message:
◦ If a message exists, follow the information provided on the print server to correct the stock mismatch issue, then continue to the next step.
◦ If a message does not exist, continue to the next step.
3. Load the stock in the tray.
If the User Interface on the press displays a mismatch message, to correct the mismatch, use the Stock Wizard.
4. Close the tray.
The Stock Wizard opens.
5. To change the Tray Properties to match the contents of the tray, follow the stock setup steps in the Stock Wizard.
6. Resolve all tray and stock mismatch messages.
7. Start your print job.
