Media information (IPDS)

Introduction
The media catalog:
• Contains a list of predefined media and their attributes.
• Is an essential part of the system behavior of the varioPRINT DP line.
• Helps you to print your jobs more easily while using the correct media.
Make sure that the [Tray selection mechanism] setting in the Settings Editor is set to [Tray to
media].
This is the preferred setting. The printer is a media-based machine. The tray-to-media method
supports this behavior.
For [IPDS tray to media for tray 1] assign the media catalogue item from the list. The list displays
all the media in the media catalog. The system copies the media attributes from the selected
media to the transaction setup.
When you assign A3/Tabloid-like media or want to use short-edge feed for other media, change
the feed direction to [Short-edge feed (SEF)].
NOTE
The Settings Editor displays only the media for which the media name is consistent with the
IPDS media name definitions. Valid characters for an IPDS media name are: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, blank.
