For a print job, your software application sends information,
called the Printer Control Language (PCL), to the printer to
communicate paper source and page size. How the printer
interprets the PCL command for paper source and page size
depends on the printer menu settings for
Source Mapping
and
MBF Paper Size
. If PCL commands for paper source and
page size are not sent to the printer, the printer menu settings
for
Paper Size
and
Default Source
are used. See
Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel
for further information on
these and all PCL Menu settings (page 3-15).
PostScript functions differently than PCL. Refer to the
PostScript Installation Instructions for more information.
Paper source
is a term that describes the tray, feeder, or slot
from which the printer feeds paper.
PCL, and therefore your printer, recognizes the six paper
sources shown in Figure 2.16, which may, or may not, appear
in your software application.
