Using the InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface

From the Server menu, select Media → Create or Copy (and select a media in the Select Media to Copy dialog) to open the Create Media dialog. You use this dialog to create a media in the specified server.

The InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface creates a new media with property settings based on whether you choose to create a new media or copy an existing media:

• Use the Create option when you want to create a unique media (with default settings) without copying properties from an existing media.
• Use the Copy option when you want to create a new media using properties from an existing media.

Enter values in these fields:
