Tray
This options menu allows the user to select which printer tray the media will be drawn
from. The "Auto-select" tray option will be presented for all printers. Selecting this
option indicates that the user has no preference as to which tray to use. Remaining entry
possibilities are dependent on the printer.
Page Size
This list box allows the user to select the media size for printing. The entries presented in
this list depend on the whether the "Loaded in Printer" or "All Sizes" radio button is
selected.
Loaded in Printer
The user selects the "Loaded in Printer" radio button to view the media sizes currently
available on the printer. If the current "Media Source" option is "Auto-select", the user
will see all media sizes available in all of the printer's trays. If a specific tray is selected,
only the media size loaded in that tray will be presented. Information on which media
size is available in which tray is provided by the system administrator via the
input-
trays-medium
attribute. If the system administrator does not provide this
information, the "Loaded in Printer" radio button will be inactive.
All Sizes
The user selects the "All Sizes" radio button to view all supported media sizes available
for the printer. When this button is selected, the Media Source options menu will contain
only the "Auto-select" option. This button is provided for the following situations:
x
in case the system administrator has not specified which sizes are loaded in the printer
x
if a desired media size is not loaded, some printers can prompt for the requested size
x
printing to a file, where the output may in fact never reach an actual printer
