listed are the machine numbers, not the numbers the software requires. After you convert the number to decimal, add 1 to it to get the number that you should put in the mapping file. Given this information, the best way to determine the correct AFP bin numbers is to start with these guidelines and use the trial and error method until you have the mappings set correctly. For example, if you have a printer with three paper bins and a manual feed bin, you could do this. 1. On your InfoPrint Manager Windows client system, install the PCL driver that you plan to use. 2. Create a printer that uses the driver you just installed and has a PSF printer as its target destination. 3. From the Windows Client, click the Start button and select Settings → Printers to open the Printers window. 4. Right-click the printer you just created and select Properties from the pop-up menu. 5. Click the Device Settings tab to show the printer options that are available for this driver. For example, some drivers show a list of "paper trays" and allow you to select a paper size for each one. 6. Make sure all of the paper trays you plan to use are activated and have the correct size paper selected. 7. Click OK to close the dialog and make the settings take effect. 8. Follow the appropriate procedure below: "Editing configuration files" on page 214. When you have to enter PCL and AFP bin numbers, start with the guidelines above and create some logical mappings, such as the ones shown in table Table 28 for an InfoPrint 20. Table 28.

Load each paper bin (including the manual feed bin) with a different kind, color, or specially marked paper. 10. Submit a test job to each bin and see which paper it is printed on. Keep track of your results and use them to change the mappings to meet your configuration. 11. Once you have the mappings worked out correctly, tell your operators this information: v What options to set in the device settings. v What kind of paper is in each bin. v How to print to each bin.
