Ricoh C7200x paper catalog number order?

[Paul Mumford]

Hey everyone,

As the title suggests, is there a way to reorder the number heirarchy of the paper catalog on this machine?, for example, move the paper that it currently at "No.8" to "No.1"?
On our old C7100 this was possible as long as the desired position was empty but we can't find a way on this new machine.

Any help or suggestions would be great, thanks.

Don't want to put in a service call just to ask an engineer this question

Don't know much about that printer, but, "paper catalogs" are usually a function of the RIP. Not the printer itself.

What RIP are you using?

Hi, thanks.

It's a Fiery rip, you can export the paper catalog from Command Workstation as an .xml file but I couldn't find any reference to catalog number order. (neither could chatgpt ) in it.

On the machines console the catalog is numbered, we just wanted to rearrange the order of twenty or so paper types with the most poular at the top (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.)

Good luck, if you have ANY job on the RIP associated with a stock on the machine, then it will not let you move or delete it.
only way is to delete the job on the RIP or remove the paper type, then you can delete the Numbered item, but you can not move it.
Think Richo hired staff from Wish,

Yes, a right pita. You have to disassociate everything from that paper type before you can edit or delete it.

On the printer, select your number 8 entry, act like you’re making a change like size / paper type until it gives you the “red asterisk of change”, and then when it prompts you to save, select arbitrary location / add new instead of overwrite, save it in position 1.

Does this work even if you have jobs in your printer history using the paper type you're modifying? I've never been able to modify anything without completely resetting the RIP history.

Yes? I make adjustments to my papers as needed. But maybe I use the Fiery different than everyone else does? I don’t use it to recall reprint jobs.

We don't intentionally use it for that either, but it comes out of the box configured that way. Do you have yours set up to auto-archive every single job as soon as it's printed?

No, that’s not necessary for my workflow. Most jobs are only printed once.

Do you delete them manually after printing? Because what I'm saying is the behavior that people are complaining about here comes standard. I would like to know how you're getting around it lol.

From the hold queue? Yes I’ll delete files after it’s been shipped. From the printed queue? That is configured to only hold the last 10 files so it’s automatically clearing itself. I only use the archive queue for one specific job so that’s all that sits in the archived queue.

 

[ReproElectroProspero]

That's the answer. Out of the box the printed queue holds WAY more than that usually. Ours holds at least 500 and we didn't change anything from setup. So when we go to change a paper library setting, Fiery / Ricoh in their infinite wisdom won't allow us because it's being "used" by a job that was printed 5 months ago. I should reconfigure it like yours lol.
