Media type and size on the printer
Media type and size on the printer
Introduction
One of the features of the Océ TDS700 printer is the automatic media change
function. This function allows the printer to switch to another roll of the same format
and material when the roll or sheet feeder becomes empty during printing.
Since the Océ TDS700 printer cannot detect the loaded media type and format itself,
you have to specify type and size after you (re)load media. The Océ TDS700
supports both DIN and ANSI media formats.
See (see ‘Available media types’ on page 406) for an overview of all materials that
can be used on the Océ TDS700 printer.
