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. These lists can be loaded into the Stock Library Manager, and are then available for selection.

When accessing the RML for the first time, the RML window is empty and Not Selected is displayed in the drop-down menu.

Selecting a list from the drop-down menu populates the RML window. Once a list is selected, it becomes the default RML until a new one is selected.

From the RML window columns can be resized and rearranged to the user's preference; forexample,movethe Weight columntotheleftorimmediaterightofthe Type column by highlighting and dragging it with the mouse.

The RML can be accessed either from the Stock Library feature or from Tray Properties.
