Assign media to a tray

Use the tray association feature to assign media from the Paper Catalog to the trays installed on the printer. If the smart media feature is turned on in Paper Catalog Settings, you can perform automatic tray association.

Assign media to a tray from the Paper Catalog window

In Paper Catalog, you can associate media with a tray by right-clicking or by dragging and dropping.

  1. Open Device Center in one of the following ways:
    • Click the More icon (three vertical dots) next to the server name in the Servers pane.
    • Double-click the server name in the Servers pane.
    • Click Server > Device Center.
    • Right-click the server name and select Device Center.
  2. Select Paper Catalog under Resources.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Right-click the media, select Associate to, and select the tray.

      Note: Associate to is displayed only when a paper catalog entry matches the printer tray properties.
    • Drag and drop the media to the desired tray displayed in the consumables area.

    Associate to will be displayed only if the media you select matches the specifications for the specific tray. Similarly, you can only drag and drop a media entry that matches the specifications. For instance, you cannot associate Letter size media to a tray intended for Tabloid, or for Letter size media with a different weight or feed direction.

Assign media to a tray from the consumables area

From the Command WorkStation consumables area, you can create or remove an association between media and a tray.

  1. In the main Fiery Command WorkStation window, click the plus sign next to the name of the Fiery server to display the consumables area.
  2. Click the arrow to the right of a tray.
    Note: If media has been assigned to a tray previously, you can also choose Remove Association. If you click Remove Association, the association is removed without any further action on your part.
  3. Select one paper catalog entry.

    All possible entries are listed for that tray. If the tray does not recognize any Paper Catalog information, you must either create/modify a paper catalog entry that matches the printer tray properties, or set the tray properties on the printer so that the desired paper catalog entries show up. Some printers have many attributes, some have only size.

    The tray association is also displayed in the Paper Catalog window.
