Summary 0000927: Use fit-to-page for Fast Print Mode
Revision 2018-01-23 16:37 by rijkr
Description IST: fit-to-page is not used for Fast Print Mode.
SOLL: Use fit-to-page for Fast Print Mode.

For Fast Mode printers with a single tray holding A4 media, PPDE can be used to configure an extra (virtual) IPP "media-source" entry for Letter, that maps to the same A4 tray. The 2 trays will be visible in the Proxy Printer Edit dialog, so A4 and Letter media size can be assigned to them. In this way Fast Print of both A4 and Letter is possible.

The .ppde of the Fast Mode printer will look like this:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Two trays mapped to a single media-source holding A4 media. 
# In SavaPage Admin Web App: assign A4 to tray-1 and US Letter to tray-2. 
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
*VENInputSlot media-source
*VENInputSlot *Auto tray-1
*VENInputSlot  Auto tray-2

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# When job is US Letter, send as A4. The fit-to-page setting 
# for Fast Print will scale to A4.
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
*SPExtra/media/na_letter_8.5x11in: letter-to-a4 \
   *media/iso_a4_210x297mm
