When the procedure affects more than one job, you can

enter more than one DOC ID, or you can enter a range,
for example: 001, 003, 005 or 001-005
Use the space bar or Enter key once you have typed part

Change paper in trays
When you change the type of paper in a tray, you must enter
the media settings at the controller. If you do not do this, a job
may not print (ineligible), or it may print on the wrong paper.

On the DC 2060, when you have the same size stock in
more than one tray, you must use the same orientation in
each tray.
On the DC 2060, you must enter the paper weight on the
paper tray weight selector, and for tray 3, you must also
use the coated/uncoated indicator. Note that the weight
used on the tray indicator may not necessarily match the
number used for the weight parameter in the
command. This is because the tray indicator uses gsm,
while for the
number in pounds (lbs.) or some other unit depending on
your site requirements.
If you are using a virtual printer with a media list, for

You can release the job to see if it prints successfully. If it does
not, repeat the above procedure and contact the administrator
or person who sent the job.
Use this procedure to determine whether the system can print.
List Sample Documents
•
Note name of job you want to use to print to test printing.
•
Print Sample Document <job name>

When you enter the job name, it is case-sensitive.
If the sample document prints, then you know that print-ready
documents can print. The problem may be with the job itself
or with the ability of the system to process jobs.
