Accessing printer features
from IPDS
This chapter describes how to access the features of your Xerox
printer in an IPDS environment. It contains the following
sections:

Tray mapping
Tables 5–1 through 5–4 show the values you should use at your
IBM host to access source paper trays on your Xerox printer.
These values will appear on the IPDS Settings Printout for your
Xerox printer.
IBM host to access source paper trays on your Xerox printer.
These values will appear on the IPDS Settings Printout for your
Xerox printer.
The printer has predetermined defaults mapping the Input Media
Source ID to the paper trays. The ID parameter of the tray
information on the Settings Printout corresponds to the IPDS
Input Media Source ID. The PRINTERID parameter defines the
PCL5 tray command that is generated for the input media source.
If an Input Media Source ID is received but not defined on the
Settings Printout, it is ignored.

PCL5 tray command that is generated for the input media source.
If an Input Media Source ID is received but not defined on the
Settings Printout, it is ignored.
In the IBM mainframe environment, the Input Media Source ID is
determined by the BIN number provided in the COPYGROUP,
FORMDEF, and SUBGROUP commands in PPFA/370. The Input
Media Source ID generated by PSF is the BIN number minus 1.
For example, a BIN number of 100 generates an Input Media
Source ID of 99. This always selects the manual tray on your
printer.

In the IBM AS/400 environment, you can choose any of the
following six input sources from Office Vision:
following six input sources from Office Vision:
•
Tray 1 selects Input Media Source ID 0
•
Tray 2 selects Input Media Source ID 1
•
Tray 3 selects Input Media Source ID 2
•
Manual selects Input Media Source ID 99
•
Envelope selects Input Media Source ID 64
•
Continuous selects Input Media Source ID 2
