The PRISMAsync Print Server sends a list of the available output trays to the host. The output trays can be selected using output tray IDs: Media Destination ID. The output tray IDs in the host application are equal to the ID in the IPDS data stream.
The number of available output tray IDs is reported to the host during start-up of the printer. The IPDS output tray ID is directly mapped to the output tray ID of the printer. Output tray ID 0 is not supported.

You can map the default output tray in the Settings Editor.
Other finishers are not supported in IPDS for this printer.
Offset stacking allows you to separate jobs or documents within the job through an offset of the stacker tray. An Alternate Offset Stacker command in the IPDS data stream will cause the printer to shift the output tray before the next page is stacked.
The Medium Finishing Control command in the IPDS data stream allows control of finishing. The following commands are supported:

Legend:
Depending on the media orientation (Long Edge Feed/Short Edge Feed) the most logical position is chosen for the corner staple, edge stitch and punch position.
The imagePRESS C10000VP Series supports crease for "Centre-fold-in" and "Centre-fold-out".
For one- and three-edge trimming.
The ID 10 Punch with the output tray IDs 3 and 6 are valid for the puncher in the staple finisher. For the Professional Puncher, all outputs, except output tray ID 8, can be used. To use the Professional Puncher, the operations-count parameter in the triplet X'85' must be set to 05 or higher. The puncher in the staple finisher is used when the operations-count parameter in the Triplet X'85' is set to a value lower than 05.
Offset stacking is not controlled via an X'85' triplet. The offset stacking functionality is only supported for specific output tray IDs, see the table above. Offset stacking can be set on a sheet level.
