Defining media objects

In this section:

1. Creating media objects automatically
   If you are using a Ricoh PDF printer or if your printers can detect media information and send it over SNMP or JMF, you can have RICOH ProcessDirector create media objects automatically. The only printer type that cannot detect media information is a PCLOut printer. PCLOut printers come with the AFP Support feature.
2. Creating media objects manually
   When you need a media object that has several different properties from the supplied or existing media objects, you can create a new one.
3. Using supplied media objects
   RICOH ProcessDirector provides several predefined system media objects. You can modify the properties of the predefined media objects and use them in your environment.
4. Copying media objects
   You can copy a media object so you can use it as a template for creating another media object. Copying media objects can save you time, especially when you need to create several media objects with similar properties.
5. Using media with electronic forms
   Media objects can include electronic forms. Electronic forms let you print jobs that previously required preprinted forms on plain paper. You associate a PDF page representing the electronic equivalent of preprinted form data with each side of a media object.
