Introduction to the media handling
Introduction
The machine supports a wide range of media, including tabs and inserts.
This section describes the following:
• Media handling in general
• The [Media catalog]
• Temporary media.
General introduction to the media handling
All the print jobs require media that you can assign to the paper trays via the operator panel. The
print jobs can require media that are included in the [Media catalog]. However, the print jobs can
also require media that are not included in the [Media catalog]. These media become temporary
media on the system.
What is the media catalog
The media catalogue is a list of predefined media and media attributes which you can define in
the Settings Editor application on the PRISMAsync controller.
When you use the media catalog, the operator panel, the printer drivers and other applications all
display the same list of predefined media. The operator panel and the printer driver automatically
retrieve and display the latest version of the media catalog.
What are temporary media
You can also use many other media that are not included in the [Media catalog]. These media
become temporary media. You can look up the currently used temporary media in the [Media]
section of the [System] view. Furthermore, you can assign the temporary media to a paper tray.
The temporary media remain available on the system until:
• No more waiting jobs need this media type
• No more scheduled jobs need this media type
• No more printed jobs need this media type
• This media type is no longer available in the paper trays.
When you plan to use these media more often, you can add these temporary media to the [Media
catalog].
