IPS APPLICATION MIGRATION
DOCUPRINT IPS SOLUTIONS GUIDE 4-13
• Using the Configuration menu select the Maximum Simplex
option.
• Set the Maximum Simplex value to 0.
The IPS system will start the first job in the plex mode of the first
sheet received.
• If the initial mode is duplex, and a subsequent sheet is received
in simplex, blank back sheets are printed until the maximum
simplex value is reached. If the maximum simplex value has
been set to zero, the printer shifts to simplex mode immediately.
Shifting to simplex causes the printer to clear the paper path of
all duplex sheets prior to printing the first simplex sheet.
• If the initial mode is simplex and a subsequent sheet is received
in duplex, the printer will immediately start to print in duplex.
(The maximum simplex value has no relevance in this case.)
Input tray attribute considerations
If you have programmed applications to use stock from specific input
trays using FORMDEFs, you should pay close attention to the
attributes given to the printer input trays. Media (tray) attributes can
be set to simplex or duplex. These attributes are set on the Input
Configuration panel. Each individual tray is set to contain media
defined as simplex or duplex. (See the Guide to Configuring and
Managing the System for your printer for specific directions on setting
input configurations.)
A tray loaded with media defined as simplex will cause the printer to
print all sheets from that tray in simplex. A tray loaded with media
defined as duplex will cause the system to print all pages fed from
that tray as requested by the job, switching between simplex or
duplex seamlessly. (The printer may or may not require dead cycles,
or clearing of the paper path.) Therefore, if a tray loaded with special
stock must print in simplex, it will print correctly from a tray which has
either a simplex or duplex attribute. However, if a tray loaded with
special stock prints in duplex, the tray must have the duplex attribute
for the application to print correctly. You may find the best procedure
to follow is to give all input trays the duplex attribute.
