1-10 XEROX DOCUPRINT NPS GUIDE TO USING PAGE DESCRIPTION LANGUAGES
These numbers map directly to the media list set for the Media
document attribute on the virtual printer or in the job submission so
that if:
Media List: A4::blue,A4::white,A4::green,A4::yellow
then:
Esc&l1H selects A4:: blue
Esc&l2H selects A4:: white
Esc&l3H selects A4:: green
Esc&l4H selects A4:: yellow
“Media list” is the list of media assigned to the Media document
attribute.
Note: Refer to the Xerox DocuPrint Network Printer Series Guide
to Managing Print Jobs for information on using virtual printers to
create media lists.
Tray assignments are independent so that if the trays are set as:
Tray 1: A4::white
Tray 2: A4::yellow
Tray 3: A4::blue
Tray 4: A4::green
then:
Esc &|1H selecting A4::blue will use Tray 3
Esc &|2H selecting A4::white will use Tray 1
Esc &|3H selecting A4::green will use Tray 4
Esc &|4H selecting A4::yellow will use Tray 2
When Esc&l0H is used at the start of the job, then media 1 is used,
otherwise it uses the media previously selected.
Note: If an HP LaserJet driver is used that does not support certain
media (for example, manual or envelope feeders), it may be difficult
to specify that media in the media list.
Precedence in selecting media
When more than one method of specifying media is used for the
same page, the order of precedence used by the system to select the
medium is:
1. ExceptionPages attribute
2. PCL Paper Source command
3. PCL Page Size command
If a given page has a media exception (that is, the ExceptionPages
attribute) associated with it, the attribute determines the medium that
the page uses, regardless of whether there is a Paper Source (tray
selection) or Page Size specification.
If a given page does not have a media exception, but has both the
Page Size and Paper Source specified, then the medium specified by
the Paper Source command is checked against the media list. If the
medium is of the appropriate size, it is used. If it is not of the
appropriate size, then the Paper Source command specification is
ignored.
