Method for accelerating paper tray programming

摘要

A printing system (10) with one or more discrete print media trays (20), a marking engine (30) and a controller (50) in which prints are produced from a plurality of print jobs by using the controller to control delivery of print media sheets from the one or more discrete print media trays to the marking engine. Each of the plurality of print jobs includes a plurality of the predefined print media attributes. The one or more discrete print media trays (20) respectively include the print media sheets having a plurality of print media attributes. A method for programming the one or more discrete print media trays (20), includes selecting one print job of the a plurality of print jobs; correlating the plurality of the predefined printed attributes of the selected one of the plurality of print jobs to the plurality of print media attributes of the print media sheets stored in the at two discrete print media trays; and if the plurality of the predefined printed attributes do not correlate with the plurality of print media attributes of the print media stored one of the one or more discrete print media trays, assigning one or more of the plurality of the predefined printed attributes to one of the one or more discrete print media trays.
