Select Drawer using Paper Type
It is advisable to use paper types for controlling drawer selection for each printer. The
advantages when comparing to the traditional setup (where a drawer number is specified on
the overlay design instead of a paper type) are:
• The same overlay can be used for printing on printers with totally different
drawer setup. The paper type (and not the drawer number) on the overlay will be sent
to the printer, where the paper type is translated into a drawer number depending on
the setup of the printer.
• It is possible to move a merged spooled file intended for a printer with one drawer
setup to another printer with a totally different drawer setup.
The requirements for selecting drawer on the printer using the paper type:
• The printer needs to support the possibility to select the drawer by the paper type
instead of the drawer number.
• You need to manually make sure, that all of your printers have the same paper type
setup so that the correct drawers are selected e.g. drawers with ‘PREPRINTED’ paper
type should always contain preprinted paper with the company logo.
These are the standard paper types known by printers:
PLAIN
PREPRINTD
LTRHEAD
TRNSPRNCY
PREPUNCHD
LABELS
BOND
RECYCLED
COLOR
CARDSTOCK
Note, that these names may be translated into your native language on your printers, but
®
InterForm400 will still select the same correct paper type.
