Note No mechanism exists for manually adding custom paper types from the driver. Custom sizes can be added only by using the bidirectional communication mechanism, so they must already exist in the printer when the bidirectional query occurs. If bidirectional communication is enabled, then the information returned is an updated list of paper types. If bidirectional communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom paper types saved from a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those.

Printer image
The bitmap image in the lower-right portion of the
Paper
tab screen represents the
current physical configuration of the printer according to the driver configuration data
(obtained automatically through bidirectional communication, or configured manually
through the driver). It should have the same appearance as the image in the same
location on the
Destination
tab and the
Configure
tab.
On the
Paper
tab, the printer image contains hot spots for selecting a media source.
When the pointer moves over a hot spot, the arrow reverts to the gloved hand used in
the Bubble Help, the preview image, and other areas. The current media source is
highlighted in a bright green color on the printer bitmap.
Destination tab features
The
Destination
tab provides options for job storage and output bins.
Note
The
Destination
tab appears only if the
Printer Hard Disk
and
Job Storage Enabled
check boxes
are selected. To select these options, click
More...
on the
Configure
tab.
