An example of setting up the Media Mapping for a
Docuprint

A PARIS print destination called ‘DocuPS’ is created that uses a Docuprint
printer with 4 trays.  The XPD/PPD file would contain 4 entries:

This XPD/PPD means the Environment Editor will allow the creation of
environments using any or all of these 4 trays.

• 

An environment called ‘Invoice’ is created.

• 

Tray select events are created that, at various times during a job, call for all 4
trays to be used.

• 

The Media Mapping option is selected in the ‘

DocuPS’ printer View/Change

Printer dialogue to create a mapping for the environment ‘Invoice’.

This mapping MUST contain 4 entries (no more, no less).  Each entry maps
one of the trays used (Upper, Lower, Middle and Tray4) to a unique
combination of color, weight and type.

For example:  Upper=white,75,plain

Lower=white,75,Cheque

Middle=Blue,140,Cover

Tray4=white,140,plain

Finally, the Docuprint must be configured so that each of the four physical
trays has one of the above mappings.

Typically, the largest capacity trays would be configured to the most
commonly used media, in this example ‘Upper=white,75,plain’.

The flexibility of this system is that the user can either configure the printer to
match an environment’s needs, or create media mappings that match the
printer configuration.
