Input And Output Tray Processing - Xerox DocuPrint 180 Solution Manual

Input and output tray processing

DOCUPRINT IPS SOLUTIONS GUIDE
The DocuPrint IPS printers support many of the input and output tray
options available with PSF. This section explains how to activate
these features.
Input tray grouping
Using the IPS GUI, you can group certain input trays into tray groups
to enable continuous paper feed or to map AFP bin numbers to
specific DocuPrint IPS input trays. A "tray group" is a cluster of trays
that share the same paper size.
If you need to print a large document and do not want printing to stop
when the input tray runs out of paper, you can specify an input tray
group within the application. Then, when the first input tray runs out
of paper, the printer switches automatically to the next input tray in
the tray group. As a result, printing is not delayed while waiting for
operator intervention.
Changing input trays within a job
You can change the input tray from which paper is pulled within a
document. This feature allows you to change paper sizes or paper
stocks without having to change the paper in the input tray manually.
The change occurs at the copy group level within the FormDef.
To change the input tray, for each different input tray you wish to use,
you must specify a different COPYGROUP that defines that paper
size in the IMM structured field. You must also include the specified
BIN within each copy group in the FormDef. For example:
COPYGROUP CG1BIN2 DUPLEX NORMAL OVERLAY FORM1 4 4
BIN 2 DIRECTION DOWN CONSTANT FRONT;
COPYGROUP CG1BIN3 DUPLEX NORMAL OVERLAY FORM1 4 4
BIN 3 DIRECTION DOWN CONSTANT FRONT;
Note: Note that if you choose to incorporate this feature, the printer
may cycle down to accommodate the change of paper sizes. Also, if
you use the MVS operating system and:
•
you wish to pull from bins 3 and 4, you may need to apply a PTF
to PSF (reference APAR OY57164)
•
you wish to pull from bins 5 or higher, you may need to apply a
PTF to PSF (reference APAR OW08127).
