Tray association
Tray association allows you to assign a Paper Catalog media entry to a copier/printer tray. Use this feature to allow the copier/printer to automatically pull specific Paper Catalog assigned media for a job that uses a particular Paper Catalog entry.
You can use the tray association feature to assign media from the Paper Catalog to the trays installed on the copier/printer.
You can also use smart media to perform automatic tray association—for example, in a print shop, where the copier/printer is configured with the same paper in the tray more than 90 percent of the time.
Tray association display
Tray association is displayed in:
-
Consumables tab
-
Paper Catalog window
-
Paper Catalog list in Job Properties Media tab
In the Consumables tab in Command WorkStation, all trays installed on the copier/printer are listed with the size of the media loaded displayed.
If a media entry from Paper Catalog has been associated with a specific tray, that tray displays the name of the media. If no media from the Paper Catalog has been associated, the tray displays as "Unassigned."
You can assign media to a tray in a number of ways, but the media entry must match the paper attributes that are loaded in that tray. Paper Catalog filters the entries shown for each tray by the paper attributes reported from the Fiery Server.
