Trays and bins

Contents

Input trays and output bins may be identified by number, name or attribute, depending on the printer's language and sophistication. See PCL export options, AFP export options, PS export options for detail on specific formats. See Setting field actions if the print-run requires different trays and/or bins to be selected during the run.

If your printer is not the same as the one that the document was designed to run on, you may need to set up new definitions for the trays and bins.

Adding Media definitions

1.	Choose Configuration... from the 'Options' menu (or press F8) then select the Printer tab.

2.	Click Add media: the 'PCL media' dialog is displayed.

Enter a name for one of the media input trays in the edit-box then click OK. (The name may be made up of letters, numbers or combination of letters and numbers, depending on the printer.)
The dialog now shows a different edit-box: enter the number to be assigned to the specified tray name then click OK.
The 'PCL media' dialog switches back to showing an edit-box for a new Media name to be defined. Either:

o	Define a name for another tray and assign it a number as before, or

o	Click Cancel to terminate media set-up.

Editing a tray definition

If a tray has been defined already, its number will be entered in the Tray number for... edit-box automatically. You may:

•	Click OK to retain the definition or

•	To change it, edit the number then click OK or

•	Clear the edit-box then click OK to delete the definition.

Instead of selecting the tray by number, some printers allow an alphanumeric ID associated with a specific tray to be used in the {escape}&n#W command.
