Canon Océ VarioPrint 6000+ Series Manual

The machine supports a wide range of media, including tabs and inserts. The supported media
sizes range from 8 x 8 inch (minimum) to 12.5 x 19.2 inch (maximum). The supported media
weights range from 33 - 202 lb bond for media that are recommended by the manufacturer, and
40 - 135 lb bond for other media.

This section describes the following:
• Media handling in general
• The [Media catalog]
• Temporary media.

NOTE

You can place all the supported media in any paper tray.

All the print jobs require media that you can assign to the paper trays via the operator panel. The
print jobs can require media that are included in the [Media catalog]. However, the print jobs can
also require media that are not included in the [Media catalog]. These media become temporary
media on the system.

The [Media catalog] is a list of predefined media and media attributes which you can define in the
Settings Editor application on the controller. The use of the [Media catalog] is only
recommended, not compulsory.

When you use the [Media catalog], the operator panel, the printer drivers and other applications
all display the same list of predefined media. The operator panel and the printer driver
automatically retrieve and show the latest version of the [Media catalog].

NOTE

Refer to the Online Help of the Settings Editor for information about the media attributes that

you can define. The Online Help also describes how to adapt the [Media catalog] (add, edit or

delete media).

You can also use many other media that are not included in the [Media catalog]. These media
become temporary media. You can look up the currently used temporary media in the [Media]
section of the [System] view. Furthermore, you can assign the temporary media to a paper tray.

The temporary media remain available on the system until:
• No more waiting jobs need this media type
• No more scheduled jobs need this media type
• No more printed jobs need this media type
• This media type is no longer available in the paper trays.

When you plan to use these media more often, you can add these temporary media to the [Media
catalog]
