Define the [Media] settings
The [Media] tab allows you to modify the mapping of the media. All media that is used within
your document is displayed here. You can verify if the media in the document is correctly
mapped to media in the printer.
Setting Description

lows you to print your job in multiple batches and combine the job after-
wards.
Only a subset of the sheets will be printed when value [Split] is selected for

ped to media in the printer.
[Media print
mode]
PRISMAprepare never automatically maps a media print mode. You have to
click the pencil icon and select a media print mode yourself. You can select a
media print mode when you submit your document to an Océ VarioPrint i-
series printer v2.3 or higher.
• [Printer default]
The default media print mode of the selected printer will be used.
Click the pencil icon to map the media manually. You can map the media
manually when the media in the document is not correctly mapped to media
in the printer.
Rename media for easy recognition of job partitions. The media name is dis-
played on the operator panel, if your printer supports this functionality.
Map the media manually in PRISMAprepare or on the Fiery Print Server
You have to configure the Fiery Print Server by enabling its JDF print path. Then, PRISMAprepare
can send PDF files with a JDF ticket to the Fiery Print Server using the JMF network protocol. To
enable the JDF print path, see
Enable the JDF print path on the Fiery Print Server on page 180.
Now, PRISMAprepare can also download the media catalog from the printer. PRISMAprepare
compares the media used in the document with the media catalog from the printer. When
possible, the media in the document is mapped automatically to media available in the printer.
You have to map the media manually if the automatic media mapping is not correct or not
possible. See either the procedure "Map the media manually in PRISMAprepare" or the procedure
"Map the media manually on the Fiery Print Server" below.
To solve any problems connecting to the Fiery Print Server, see
How to troubleshoot the
communication between PRISMAprepare and the Fiery Print Server on page 185.
Map the media manually in PRISMAprepare
You can map the media manually either in PRISMAprepare or in the command workstation of

this procedure, you can find the procedure describing how you can map the media manually on
the Fiery Print Server.
To avoid mapping the media manually, you can import the Fiery paper catalog into
