In general, PRISMAdirect memorizes the media mapping for each job, for each media and for each printer. However, the following specific mapping rules exist:
Mapping a media name onto a different media name while keeping all the other media attributes. The application memorizes the mapping for each media and for each printer.
Mapping an undefined media type onto an existing media type while keeping all the other media attributes. The application memorizes the mapping for each media and for each printer.
Mapping an undefined media color onto an existing media color while keeping all the other media attributes. The application memorizes the mapping for each media and for each printer.
