PCL Tray
Switching
(Source Mapping)
Tray switching for PCL emulation jobs is controlled by the
settings for Source Mapping (in the PCL Emulat Menu). (See
Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel for information on using
the Control Panel.)
• If you are familiar with the concept of source mapping,
skip to “Default Source Mapping Settings” (page 2-16)
and “Customizing Source Mapping Settings” (page 2-16).
• If source mapping is a new concept to you, continue
reading.
When you send a PCL job to the printer, commands in the
data stream tell the printer what logical paper source to use
and on what size paper to print. The way in which the printer
interprets the PCL command for paper source and page size
depends on the PCL Emulat Menu settings for Source
Mapping and Paper Size.
If the printer receives no paper tray or paper size information
from your software application, it uses the PCL Emulat Menu
settings for Paper Size and Default Source.
PCL recognizes the six paper sources shown in Table 2.3.
(These PCL paper sources may, or may not, appear in your
software application, or they may appear under alternate
names.)
