Description
Source mapping enables you to control from your
software application the location from which the
printer pulls paper.
Each of the six paper sources that can be requested
through your application maps to one of the Source
Mapping settings.
Standard is the factory setting for the Standard,
Lower, and Large Capacity paper sources. MP Tray is
the factory setting for Manual, Manual Envelope, and
Envelope Feeder. See Figure 2.12 (page 2-26) for
factory settings with and without a lower base
installed.
When a paper source (e.g., Standard) is mapped to a
sequence of trays (e.g., Standard-MP), the printer may
switch between them for two purposes:
1)
To increase paper capacity.
When the current tray becomes empty, the
printer automatically switches to the next tray in
the sequence, provided the paper size is the
same.
2)
To search for the correct paper size to print a
page.
If the paper size specified in your software
application does not match what is loaded in the
current tray, the printer automatically searches
the next tray in the sequence for a paper size that
matches.
For more information on taking full advantage of
Source Mapping and for detailed examples of usage,
see "Selecting a Paper Source" (page 2-22).
