Before sending an IPDS job, ensure that the appropriate fuser or non-fuser stocks are assigned to the
virtual trays and physical trays required for the job, and verify that the attributes of the media used for
the job are appropriate. Once the mapping has been accomplished, save the IPDS Job Profile. The
mappings can be applied for similar jobs, or future runs, by reloading the profile.
Note
The Tray Type setting of Fuser or Inserter in the Virtual Tray Mapping dialog is saved as part
of the Job Profile, and is restored when a Job Profile is recalled and applied. The Tray Type setting
of the physical trays is not saved in the profile because it is determined by the actual tray
characteristics.
Follow the steps below to ensure stock assignments are correct for a job involving non-fusing trays:
1.
Open the [IPS Manager] Tray Mappings tab.
2.
Load the Job Profile for the job, or verify that the correct stocks are assigned to the Virtual and
Physical Trays.
3.
Ensure that the necessary physical stocks are loaded. If not, load the necessary stocks in the
appropriate trays.
4.
Review the Tray Type information in the IPS Manager Physical Tray assignment dialog, and ensure
that the media selections are appropriate for the fusibility of the physical tray.
5.
Review and, if necessary, update the Tray Type settings in the IPS Manager Virtual Tray mapping
dialog to ensure that the host will treat the virtual trays correctly as Fuser or Inserter Trays. The
physical and virtual tray dialog Tray Type columns will only be available, if there is at least one
non-fusing physical tray.
6.
When Virtual Trays are flagged as Inserter, the user must ensure that the media selected for the
non-fusing tray, or trays, matches the attributes expected for the non-printing pages (e.g. inserts
or slip sheets) generated by the application.
Mapping Stock for Use in Fusing and Non-Fusing Trays
If an application requires the same stock to be fed from both fuser and non-fusing trays, and the
product supports this capability, configure the IPS Manager Tray Mappings, as described below.
Note
Some products supported by Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server do not allow the same stock to
be assigned to both fusing and non-fusing trays.
For Non-Printing Application Data Only
To feed blank or pre-printed stock without print data, from both fusing and non-fusing trays:
1.
Assign the stock to the desired fuser and non-fusing physical trays using the Paper Trays selection
from the Printer drop down menu.
2.
Assign the stock to the desired fuser and non-fusing physical trays, in the IPS Manager Tray
mappings dialog.
3.
Assign the stock to a single virtual tray.
4.
Set the Tray Type for the virtual tray to Inserter.
