Usage note:

  • In AFP jobs, the media name is changed in the form definition. The Job media property is not updated.
  • For an example of how these values affect the media used to print jobs, see the usage scenario for Preprinted Forms Replacement in the Information Center. The topics that describe running the sample workflows that use electronic forms also show how the Media name for printing values affect the media used to print jobs.
