Viewing and updating the media ready in printer input trays
RICOH ProcessDirector uses SNMP and JMF to distinguish between the media that a printer supports and the
media that is ready in its input trays. Supported media is not ready until it is loaded
in an input tray. Unless your printer can automatically match media, update the ready
media for the printer object when you load new media in the printer device.

shows the trays and the media that is currently loaded. If you load different media
