Introduction to the Media Handling
Media Handling
During printing, the printer can draw sheets from any tray that contains the required media for
that sheet in the job. You can open any tray while the system is running to add paper. The tray
opens as soon as possible without causing a paper jam. If the required media is available in other
trays, printing continues. Otherwise, printing stops.
Reload behavior
If you open and close a tray, and the slider position in the tray is consistent with the media type
previously configured for that tray, then the system assumes that the media type has not
changed. Otherwise, the system prompts you to assign a new media type to the tray.
Media assignment through the control panel
The control panel enables you to assign a specific media type to a tray at any time. You can select
the media to be assigned from the media catalogue and from the temporary media types. When
the print jobs require media that are not included in the media catalogue, these media become
temporary media on the system.
Supported media types per paper tray
All paper trays, except the internal bulk trays one and two, can be configured as desired.
The internal bulk trays one and two only support A4, LTR and B5. There is no sensor on these
trays that can detect the configuration. When you open and close these bulk trays, the
assumption is that the size is not changed. To load a different media size, the bulk trays must be
adjusted first.
What is the Media Catalog
The media catalogue is a list of predefined media and media attributes which you can define in
the Settings Editor application on the PRISMAsync controller.
When you use the media catalog, the control panel, the printer drivers and other applications all
display the same list of predefined media. The control panel and the printer driver automatically
retrieve and display the latest version of the media catalog.
What are Temporary Media
You can also use many other media that are not included in the media catalog. These media
become temporary media. You can look up the currently used temporary media in the [Media]
section of the [System] view. Furthermore, you can assign the temporary media to a paper tray.
The temporary media remain available on the system until:
• No more waiting jobs need this media type
• No more scheduled jobs need this media type
• No more printed jobs need this media type
• No more DocBox jobs need this media type
• This media type is no longer available in the paper trays.
When you plan to use these media more often, you can add these temporary media to the media
catalog.
