Recommended Media List (RML) Overview

The Recommended Media List (RML) displays a list of all the default, preprogrammed stocks that are available for the press. The default RML is provided by Xerox.

Multiple RMLs may be available with your press, or the default Xerox list may be the only list available. For example, if the user works with various paper companies, these paper companies may provide their own media lists to the customer.
