    • Default Value

      If Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) communication is active, InfoPrint Manager queries the printer device and sets the value according to the response; otherwise tray-1. However, if you specify a value for input-tray, you deactivate the SNMP default.

      For DFE actual destinations, InfoPrint Manager queries the DFE server and sets the values according to the response.

  • medium-name

    Identifies the medium in the input tray.

    • GUI label

      Media ready

    • Type

      Single-valued

    • Allowed Values

      You can enter a text string up to 255 characters long that contains the name of the medium or one of the fixed values of the medium-identifier attributes of the default media. See the medium attribute medium-identifier for a list of these values.

    • Default Value

      If Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) communication is active, InfoPrint Manager queries the printer device and sets the values according to the response; otherwise letter. However, if you specify a value for medium-identifier, you deactivate the SNMP default.

      For DFE actual destinations, InfoPrint Manager queries the DFE server and sets the values according to the response.

Usage Guidelines

  • InfoPrint Manager automatically sets the values for the input-trays-supported and media-ready attributes from the values of this attribute.
  • InfoPrint Manager verifies that the values of the medium-name component of this attribute are values of the media-supported attribute.
  • The InfoPrint Manager server can automatically set the values for input-trays-medium for an SNMP printer only if you do not explicitly set the attribute when creating or modifying the actual destination or if you reset the attribute to the InfoPrint Manager default.
    Note: For media, the automatic default only detects the size of the medium. If you have different media that are the same size (for example, three different letter-size preprinted forms) and you need to differentiate between them in the attributes, you must explicitly set the attributes instead of using the automatic default.
