SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION4-28 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS GUIDE TO CONFIGURING AND MANAGING THE SYSTEMSpecifying the input configurationThis section describes the procedures for creating, changing, anddeleting input tray configurations; selecting the feeder tray(s) for ajob; and indicating the media (stock) that is loaded in each feedertray. (For an explanation of the buttons on these windows, refer to the“Buttons” section in the “Introduction to the graphical user interface”chapter.)When you specify the input configuration, you associate one or morefeeder trays with each IPDS tray that is called for in a print job. Theprinter then feeds paper from all the printer trays specified for a givenIPDS tray. It stops and requests more paper only when all those traysare empty.You can create input configurations by organizing the stocks you willuse in a certain application or set of applications into unique groupswith different paper trays. This allows the host to access differentpaper stock from each tray.Note: When configuring feeder groups, the printer feeds from anyof the feeder trays in the group, with no particular order to follow. Inother words, the printer will not necessarily start with the lowestnumbered tray in the group.By placing media icons in the IPDS and Printer Tray cells on the InputConfiguration window, you communicate to the printer which feedertrays to use for each IPDS tray the data stream specifies. At the sametime, you are setting up the Main window input section to display thestock loaded in each printer tray.
