The media catalog stores attributes for all media that are key to the print quality, such as size, weight, media type, color, media family and surface. A media family is a group of media that has the same specifications and uses the same color output profile. Color reproduction for your output on page 28 (See ) After the job submission, use the schedule to see which media the job requires and when to assign these media to paper trays. Temporary media During the job preparation you can also specify media for the job. Media that are not part of the media catalog are temporary media. When the job on temporary media is printed, you find these temporary media in the media section of the System view on the control panel. If you want to use these media more often, add the temporary media to the media catalog. The temporary media remains available in the System view as long as there are jobs in the queue that use these temporary media, or these temporary media are assigned to a paper tray. Media and image quality Media has a big influence on the image quality and the productivity of a print system. The performance of a print system, the print quality and the consumption of consumables depend on media factors, such as: • Media type • Media weight • Surface • Moisture content • Smoothness To ensure optimal output quality and performance, media must comply with the paper specifications of your print system. Store the media in a dry environment away from direct sunlight. Before you load the media into the paper trays, it is important to check the media sheets.
