ManualFeed boolean Indicates if the current (or active) source is a manual source. The following values
are supported:
True Manual feed
False Automatic feed
If ManualFeed is set to True, and a change is made to PageSize, MediaWeight,
MediaColor, or MediaType parameters, no matching occurs. It is assumed that
the correct page is fed.
Note: ManualFeed is initialized at the start of each print job according to the
default paper source set by the operator panel menus or through PJL. If the
default paper source is a manual source, ManualFeed is set to True. If the default
paper source is not a manual paper source, ManualFeed is set to False.
ManualFeedTimeout integer Indicates the amount of time that the printer waits for you to manually load a
sheet of paper.
0 infinite wait or no timeout
If the timeout expires, a timeout error is generated.
This is initialized at the start of each PostScript emulation job to the value of the
Feed Timeout menu item value.
MediaColor string name
or null
Specifies the color of the current media.
MediaPosition integer Specifies the tray to select, if possible, whether it is the best match or not.
Policies may be consulted to determine the selection. For example, assume
there is legal-size paper in Tray 1 and letter-size paper in all the other trays, and
the Policy for the PageSize page device parameter is 1. The command
<< /PageSize [612 1008]/MediaPosition 1 >> setpagedevice
selects Tray 2 even though Tray 1 is a perfect match, because the PageSize
Policy of 1 allows the PageSize to be ignored.
MediaType string name
or null
Indicates the type of the current media. The value of the string is arbitrary and
may describe any attribute not already defined by size, color, or weight.
MediaWeight integer or
null
Specifies the weight of the current media in g/m
2
. The value is either null or a
number.
NumCopies integer or
null
Specifies the number of copies of each page that should be printed. If the value is
null, the current value of #copies determines the number of copies to print.
Nup boolean Determines if Nup is On or Off. Use the Nup function to print multiple page
images on a single page, where the value of N refers to the number of pages. For
example, 2-Up means two page images are printed on one page.
True Nup is On and the NupDetails parameters are active.
False Nup is Off.
For some printers, the value of Nup is set through the
Multipage Printing menu
item. For more information about multipage printing (Nup), see your printer
documentation.
