Using Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPS Manager Note that many jobs may not use all of the available virtual trays. 2. Ensure that one or more physical trays are mapped to the virtual tray(s) required for the job. Select the Refresh button. 3. When the Map IPDS Trays to Stock and the Select Stock for Printer Trays dialogs show all required mappings and loaded stocks, the mapping is complete. Map Virtual Trays for Non-Fusing Stock Non-fusing paper trays are input devices that feed paper without allowing it to print. Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS is fully compliant with the standard IPDS model for support of non-fusing paper trays. When virtual trays are mapped to non-fusing physical trays, Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS reports them to the host as inserter bins, which ensures that the host will not send print data to non-printing trays. Mapping to a non-fusing paper tray is the same as for other paper trays. NOTE: The mapping to non-fusing paper tray feature is available only for systems that possess non-fusing trays, such as some configurations of the following systems: When non-fusing physical trays are present on the system, the IPS Manager provides Tray Type columns in the Map IPDS Trays to Stock and Select Stock for Printer Trays panels in the Tray Mappings tab. The Tray Type column in the Map IPDS Trays to Stock panel informs the user which virtual trays are reported to the host as printable trays and which are reported as non-fusing trays. For both virtual and physical tray displays, the entries in the Tray Type columns are labeled either Fuser (printable) or Inserter (nonfusing). NOTE: The Tray Type columns only appear if at least one nonfusing tray is available (installed and enabled in the printer). 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. KEY POINT: 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 acutal tray characteristics.
