Managing the Stock Library

The Stock Library tab enables you to add to the group of stocks that are eligible to print. You can define attributes for a stock (such as size, color, type, and weight) and assign a name to identify the stock and its associated attributes. The standard stock names Main, Aux, and Auto are also available.

Stock Management

Once a stock type has been defined, named, and saved as a new stock, it can be easily referenced from the Stock List, which is accessible from many different locations in the DocuSP software.

You can perform the following tasks from the Stock Library tab:

• Set up a new paper stock in the stock list
  
• Modify a stock entry
  
• Copy a stock entry
  
• Delete a stock
  
• Assign stock to a paper tray
  
• Remove stock from an assigned tray
  
• Add stock to a preferred tray
  
• Enable/disable cleanup
  
• Hide/Show stock entries
  
• Import/Export stock settings

The Stock List

The Stock List is a GUI screen that is accessible from many different locations in the DocuSP software. A named stock can be easily selected from this list and used in a variety of situations. Examples of activities during which the Stock List is accessed include (but are not limited to):

• Assigning a named stock to a job
  
• Assigning a named stock as default for a queue
  
• Assigning a named stock as default for slip sheets
