APSG — Assign Paper Source Group
Format
APSG group # (cassette 1), group # (cassette 2), ...group # (cassette 6);
Parameters
group #:
Number representing the group to which the cassette is grouped, from the top (1) towards
the bottom (6) cassette, as the following numbers:
0 = Ungroup the cassette
1 = Assign the cassette for group 1
2 = Assign the cassette for group 2
3 = Assign the cassette for group 3
Function
The APSG command assigns the paper cassettes with group numbers, between 1 through
3, so that the grouped cassettes behave as a single paper source for bulk printing. The MP
tray cannot be assigned to a group. All 6 parameters must be given even though the
printer has less than 6 cassettes installed. For missing cassette numbers, specify 0.
The printing system will automatically switch between the paper cassettes in the group
when a cassette becomes empty. When a group contains paper of different paper sizes
and types, printing will continue for the different paper sizes and types.
If the automatic paper selection feature of the printer driver is used, APSG is disabled.
To utilize paper source grouping, the paper source must be explicitly commanded by the
printer driver.
Example
To set six paper cassettes into group 1 (cassettes 1 and 4), group 2 (cassettes 2 and 5),
and group 3 (cassettes 3 and 6), respectively:
!R! APSG 1,2,3,1,2,3; EXIT;
In this example, when cassette 1 becomes empty, printing will continue using cassette 4
which is the other part of group 1.
The APSG sequence is valid after the printing system is switched off. To upgroup paper
cassettes, use parameter 0 as the following example:
!R! APSG 1,0,0,1,0,0; EXIT;
Paper cassettes of 2 and 5, and 3 and 6 are ungrouped, keeping paper cassettes 1 and 3
(group 1) intact.
