Attributes for media

A medium represents the type of media, that is, paper, envelopes, transparencies, or multi-part forms, on which a printer device prints.

InfoPrint uses the names of media as values for actual destination attributes, such as media-supported. Actual destination attributes that reference media can use any name as long as the name is in syntax limits. The AIX DSS validates any actual destination attribute that references a medium to make sure that the object exists. The BSD and PSF DSSs accept values that are not the names of existing media.

You must create at least the default medium objects. The startsrv utility normally creates the default medium objects. If it fails to do so, use the pdcrdflt utility to create the default medium and auxiliary sheet objects.
