[10] Media-based workflow
During the initial configuration of the print system, the media catalog is filled with media and
media attributes.
When you work with the media catalog, you can take advantage of the following benefits:
• The media in the media catalog store print quality attributes that the entire print system uses.
Each time you select the media from the media catalog, the print system automatically applies
the same print quality settings.
• The control panel shows the operator which media to load.
• The control panel, Remote Printer Driver and the PRISMA software access the same media
catalog.
• You can also use the media catalog for copy jobs.
Define the media attributes on the control panel or with the Settings Editor.
The system administrator determines if operators are allowed to manage the media catalog from
the control panel.
