MediaType matching and completion
Media types in the imagePRESS C7010VPS series are defined by 10 media type attributes.
However, it is possible some of the 10 media type attributes are not defined. This paragraph
describes how incomplete media type definitions are completed.
The basic principle in PostScript is:
• All pagedevice attributes have a default value, called the printer default.
See the table in paragraph "Pagedevice attributes for media selection".
• In the PostScript stream, these default values can be overwritten.
When a page specification is ready, the pagedevice describes the media type on which the page
must be printed. It is possible that some attributes are null. This means that the attribute is not
taken into account in finding the desired media type, i.e. null is the PostScript "don't care" value.
A null value can be the printer default, but it can also be set explicitly in the PostScript stream.
Incomplete media type definitions are completed according to the algorithm below:
