[Media source]

Definition

The [Media source] setting lists all the rolls and trays that are available to feed the printer with paper (or film). It is also the location from which a user can indicate that the media is manually fed into the printer.

NOTE

This setting is not available for all printer models.

This setting has an impact on the [Media type] and [Media size] settings:

  • their available values is updated according to the [Media source] information.

  • their tiles become green if their default value is updated in order to match an explicit media source selection.

Illustration

[Media source]

According to your printer model, select to print your file on either:

  • A printer's specific roll or tray (e.g.: [Roll 1] )

  • An automatic selection of the correct media source according to the size of the output:[Automatic]

  • A media that is manually fed into the printer (when the printer model and configuration allow to do so, except for the Océ PlotWave 345/365/450/550): [Manual feed]

NOTE

Some printer models, like the Océ PlotWave 900 -among others, allow the definition of 'special media' (for instance, a colored paper). Special media are defined from the printer controller.

From the job submitter interface, an icon with a star next to the name of the [Media source] indicates a special media. Special media are excluded from the automatic selection of the media source, unless they are explicitly selected.
